Can that Nobody_Important side talk be slightly less aggressive? I don't like the terminology used by him as much as anyone else here either, but we have staff for dealing with this stuff, you know.
I understood the joke, but i think were just talking in circles about this now.
About the bolded it depends on the thread really, i saw some threads with good advice for depressed/worried people but i also saw horrible advices there, it depends really.
It does. But the proper advice usually is found in the thread you mentioned. There are some geniunely disturbed souls haunting on ERA and i feel that them posting their threads and getting terrible advice is something the staff should be adamant at.
But they are far too busy warning people for percieved sexism and banning folks for percieved transphobia. The priorities are jacked: Instead of Projecting they should be
Reeeeflecting. (Couldn't resist that one.)
If this was 6 months ago, you may have a point. With this much water under the bridge, you're kidding yourself.
I saw the post where Nobody called every Republican not a good person, which is way too generic really and if anything, such statements should deserve emphasis.
That being said, since i am aware that you frequently cite his works, i think at this point it would be better to report any post that you find truly problematic or too generic. Even though N_I is holding ulterior views contrary to a lot of people here (And seemingly isn't improving upon the
quality of the points he makes, see the republican comment), at the very least there is still an attempt at discussion here. Even when said attempt usually lands into the same conclusion, i reckon.
That was what i was referring to. Because on the other end of the stick you would have people just spouting bile and not returning the call. N_I is not such an user, although i absolutely disagree with the commentary he has made on various points recently, and not just limited to politics.
Okay that's alot so I'll go point by point.
1. I am merely on friendly terms with a few of the mods so I decided to try and PM one of them to see of I could get any specific details on the ban. That's all I was saying. I didn't realize that was a problem. I'll drop that then.
You should invite them here and get some AMA talks on. Do note that because of this affiliation, people will (and have said so) think more that your opinions are
influenced by their policies, even when that may or may not be the case.
Also, you should definitely get those specifics, please.
indeed. Seems like rambling or under the influence, perhaps.
