Quote from: mAcular Chaotic;1076599It's not about honest life. It's what do you do if someone makes it all up about you.

Exactly. Or in this case. What do you do as a bystander when all there is is the word of one and the bad attitude of the other>

Quote from: Darrin Kelley;1076590People who live honest lives don't have dirt to be dug up. And I live an honest life.

Famous last words. Do you think outrage mobs even care if allegations against their target are true?

When in history has an honest life protected someone from a senseless mob?

On a lark I googled your name, found an old thread from 2007 (a Mutants and Masterminds thread). It's not an important thread, other than to say that in it Taliesin is posting and you're responding to him. Yes, that  Taliesin, from Critical Role. YEARS before Critical Role existed. You know, that guy Pundit is constantly saying is "just an actor" who is "not a gamer"? Yeah that guy.

Sorry for the off-topic post.

Not so off-topic... that is exactly the sort of guilt by association the SJW crew employ to label you an "unperson." One selfie taken six years ago with an unperson and you can be un-personed for having associated with them... even if that unperson you're associated with was condemned for something that happened four years after the picture was taken and you've never seen them in all the years since.

Better safe than sorry. We can't take risks when the potential for literal Nazis creeping into our communities is real. There may be casualties, but it's necessary.

You say that in the belief that you won't be one of those casualties.

Good luck.

Not just Nazis...

As a German who has kinda lived on the frontlines to communism from a global perspective, I happen to recognize this thinking. What I am hearing here is the literal ideology of the now defunct East German GDR.
Gentle reminder: the Berlin wall was build in the name of fighting fascism ("antifaschistischer Schutzwall"). Keeping out Nazis. (Not entrapping citizens who want to emigrate to a functioning economy, no.) Countless crimes against humanity have been perpetrated in the name of fighting an imagined (or rather: asserted) fascism from 1949 onwards.

It's funny how Mankind only has learned lessons from the first half of the 20th century. But NO lesson from the 2nd half of the 20th century whatsoever.
And when I say it's funny, I mean it's disgusting.

I understood this to be Snark Knight's attempt to characterize what he perceives to be the SJW response.  That is, the only people who are saying that the SJWs would say something is Chris24601 (not an SJW) and Snark Knight (not an SJW) agreeing with him.

Perhaps. But is his writing any good? I don't actually care about anything else, as I don't know anybody involved personally.

Make no mistake: his writing is goddamn fantastic. It almost physically hurts to know I'll never justify buying another work of his. And this is from one of the biggest snobs on this site.

This is so strange to me.

Cervantes did time for fraud. No more Don Quixote.
Jack Henry Abbott did armed robbery, and murdered two people - including one after his release from prison. No more In the Belly of the Beast.
William Burroughs shot and killed his wife.
Louis Althusser killed his wife, too. Leftie philosopher, by the way.
Maria Geel murdered her lover, just to show that women writers can murder spouses, too.
Oscar Wilde did time for gross indecency - having had sex with a 17 year old boy.
Thomas Malory was locked up for attempted murder, robbery and rape. No more Le Morte D'Arthur for us.

This short list shows just a few of the actual criminal authours the world has had, and doesn't even begin to touch on the morally defunct ones, the drug addicts and drunks and guys screwing around on their wives and gaslighting the fuck out of them. Nor does it even consider the ones who were sexist, racist, homophobic or the like. As for movie-makers and musicians... shit man, let's not even start.

No more Michael Jackson, for a start.

If you require moral purity of your authours, you are going to have a rather bare bookshelf, and had best not go to the cinema or turn on the radio at all.
