Actually, that's exactly what living in a civilized society means- being polite, to some degree or another. I would also recommend that you not call your users' identities as 'fantasies.' It may not matter to you but it matters to them and you should respect you users if you wish to keep them.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoIt means civil discourse, which gives everybody a voice. It doesn't mean having to pretend everybody is right. It definitely doesn't mean being polite, not by a far margin. I'd be glad to recognize any distinctions that don't require an entirely new dictionary. Especially if they are actionable. Mostly, it'd be nice if folks kept private things private.
- adamwong246 13y agoBut these things are not private and they are actionable. And they update the dictionary every year, because language changes. If you dismiss them out of hand, you will lose a lot of opportunity. If greater concern, though, is that your contempt for non-normative identities is rather poorly concealed. Trust me- you do not want to speak to your users as you have spoken to me.
