Who, exactly, is the 'we' here? Who, exactly, is 'such people' here?
You're talking in vagaries, and including me in them, and I don't particularly care for that.
Bottom line for me is that if you want to call assholes being excluded from some spaces as 'censorship', you're free to do that, but most people are just going to call that 'assholes getting what they deserve'.
If you want to argue that we should be more accommodating towards assholes, then I really look forward to hearing that argument.
- deogeo 7y agoI was talking about the general situation (hence the vagaries). And I'm not arguing for being more accommodating - I'm arguing for calling a spade a spade. To kick a group of people out of almost every discussion forum, then accuse them of having a "persecution complex", is hypocritical in the extreme. > If you want to argue that we should be more accommodating towards assholes Not once did I argue that they should not have been excluded, or anything even remotely similar, yet almost everyone who replies insists on putting words in my mouth. Given how straight-forward my posts were, I'm going to assume this misreading was deliberate.
- jmcqk6 7y agoYou're admitting to speaking in vagaries and then also calling your posts straight-forward, and then basically accusing me of trolling you. Sorry I can't read your mind.
- deogeo 7y agoSorry, I should have said 'generalities'. If you can point at which phrase I used that implied we should be more accommodating towards assholes, perhaps I can learn to express myself more clearly in the future.
