Another forum - taking a moderate line is thread crapping...
What Came Before:
--- Quote from: Callan S. ---Had to bitch about the moderation on another forum (RPG.net). Had this thread where because of one table in an RPG that mentions wenching or getting married (from a male perspective), the poster said they hated it and that it was 'unwelcoming' which I teased out was code that if someone doesn't invite you, then they must automatically hate you.
Then someone else insisted you have to have gender neutral terms and I raised what about public toilets, are they gender neutral, or prisons? We have stuff in our society which has some segregation - if you support that society, you just can't on the one hand support segregation, yet condemn it at the same time. People in partially glass houses should be careful throwing stones, was my very line.
Got a thread ban for thread crapping.
I raised a trouble ticket there, that in part asked for an example of arguing for the moderate line that wouldn't be banned.
I dread to look at that ticket again, for the way they'll (I'm guessing) bur bur bur around, plumping themselves up, absolultely no movement at their core, no activity there that is introspection, only looking outward for a problem. Well, okay I'm guessing that, but the way people can just dodge a question - their capacity to just flaff out text and dodge it, it's just daunting!
Just disturbing their whole 'anti thread crapping' initiative - how its semantically ambiguous. Like it's supposed to be for things like 'Hey, I want D&D adventure ideas' and someone says 'don't play D&D!'. But how easily is it repurposed to simply stop anyone arguing with what the moderators no doubt agree with and don't really want to hear otherwise about.
Indeed even further back I was on a forum (sirlin.net) where the owner didn't believe in censorship. But then one poster just keeps swearing over and over, and nastily. So the owner puts in a rating system, so people can downvote a post out of view. The next thing, I question his assumptions about a game he prizes (streetfighter), he's telling me he hopes my post should be down rated out of existance 'as it deserves'. Sorry, was I swearing like the person who triggered the entry of the rating system.
Just funny how quickly repurposed these powers become!

You play to our Bakker biases by using our in-group knowledge to facilitate agreement with your conclusions and sympathy for your wound. Brilliant.

Whereas, yourself...
It depends on whether you square out some kind of space, four connecting lines in sand, within which someone moves you, rather than manipulates you.
Outside of that, here are my chess moves. Check that I have checkmate as I state I do. Or state you don't play chess or treat it as non applicable to the scenario. Don't play to Bakker biases to dodge saying 'congrats, within the ruleset you are accurate'.
As with most people, once you see the situation fully, you reject it whole heartedly. Again throwing away what you can see, and so remaining exclusively amidst what you can't.
Chess 'manipulates' someone to congratulate another person. What a brilliant maniplation of biases! Quick, don't play it! Don't congratulate! Don't agree! It's a tarp!...and stay amidst the unseen dark instead. Have no common ground that is seen by all!
Never bother to take how obvious I am in my movements, for anything but the keeness of your eye.
