This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Snowman0147;865997Won't be the first time SJWs shut up a black man who speaks his mind instead of following a narrative like a good little sheeple.

Or I could be being an asshole and don't realize. I like to keep that in mind. It is fucked up, IMO, that crashing a - thread to tell people their issues and concerns are nothing and their opinions stupid is fine but apparently but even implying you're not in love with the game in a + thread is Problematic.

I'm curious where this will go. But I'm not going to stir the pot. I've said my bit. Though I'm pretty sure some of crowd in that thread at least lurk here so that may be where some of the 'tude is coming from.

The "conversation" you got with Stephen was bizarre. If I understand it correctly, he accused you of using not loving Exalted enough and being polite ! You are indeed a terrible person !

"Some"? Man, that's gotta be the week of understatements in the Exalted thread;)!
Personally, I've taken a break from the Exalted threads, though if I have the time or I'm feeling in a bad mood, I may still return:D!

I started a sjw viewed anti review of Exalted a few years back going down the list of everything that the usual suspects get their collective panties in a wad over but I put it on hold because of the Ex3 announcement.

Might have to go dig up my notes and and this new version to the mix.

As soon as I have the time.

Maybe its forum blueballs over not getting the chance for argue and proselytize they were itching for. Stephen likes to stir the pot up in "subtle" ways. I called him on once when he tried to get shit started between me and another poster I like over there. Not sure if he's holding a grudge over that. It was a long time ago.

I'd be interested in seeing it.

The thin skin and defensiveness really makes the fan base come across as damn insecure particularly in light of the general positive response.

There may be some projection going on too. Someone who's almost constantly an arrogant passive aggressive snarky asshole might well assume everyone else is as well.

It's not impossible, though I wouldn't make conclusions from people following or not sites they don't care to post on;).

I think I was unclear. I was referring to the (not so) veiled implications StephenLS (and I think a couple of others) were making about me in that thread

As far as I read that you were polite.  Far from a asshole in any way.  Point is you shouldn't even get that treatment.

OK, I misunderstood you, I admit:).
Yeah, TBP is the place where implications that aren't obvious PAs are the order of the day. Most of these don't make sense, and don't have to, because all they do is showing your attitude towards someone else;).

Somebody on RPG.net once accused me of being "passive-aggressive."

It was like that time that Dave Mustaine got kicked out of Metallica for drinking too much.

I thought he got kicked out because he really overdid it and it got dangerous for others as well?

Just to clarify, I'm not drawing a parallel with the accusation. I'm just commenting that Metallica's decision had always sounded logical to me:).
I hope that was clear, but decided it's better safe than sorry;).

Well, the analogy being, they're fine ones to judge. :D
