I would refer you to Forrester's Lecture named "The Aelvish problem", but that's been lost to time.
I do have it saved up somewhere though.

This analogy would be very apt if there were many long-lived people (elves, maybe?) who were there at the time and would still be there now, refusing to accept that time has changed and still behaving like mass human sacrifices are something to do every week end.Kae'Yoss said:One of the most ridiculous things you can do. It's like hating a mexican guy living today because those aztecs were conducting human mass sacrifices.
Oh? Can I see the poll you conducted among the elves? I'd be curious to see the percent!Kae'Yoss said:Not that all elves are elitist. It's, as usual, a vocal minority.

Good Lord. You're speaking as if I'd started a thread to attack a real life ethnicity. If you honestly can't distinguish between making fun of a cliche fantasy race and real-life racism, then I think there are bigger issues that need to be addressed than this thread.
Of course, you probably won't see this unless somebody quotes me; as earlier in the thread you advertised the fact that I'm on your ignore list.
Kae'Yoss said:So you say it's perfectly alright behaving irrationally about elves and their fans just because elves are just fiction? Those who are offended by being called unflattering things just because they don't rant about elves with foaming mouths aren't fiction, you know.
