Do I really have to go find the grouping posts where I was ignored because I wasn't close friends with posters to prove that what I said has merit? That's not going to serve any purpose whatsoever. I'm not interested in getting people to see that I was slighted by people I don't care about months ago, and I'm also not interested in proving a problem exists by calling people out.
It's a problem best stated generally, and people can take my post as prescriptive or ignore it.
It would enormously serve a purpose to me, personally, at the very least. On the one hand it would give me an idea of what a phenomenon that I failed to witness myself actually looks like so that I can be more vigilant and do anything possible to discourage it. On the other hand it would reassure me that
I haven't done what you're describing here, or, if indeed it shows that I have, do whatever I can to convince you it was not intentional, personal or done by design. Finally, this isn't precisely about "proving whether or not what you said has merit"- I
assume that it does, and am just seeking more information to combat it.
If the issue is calling people out publicly I can absolutely understand that and if you'd prefer to PM me instead that makes perfect sense. I just completely disagree- with many of you as it turns out!- that this is a problem best stated generally. Stating it generally actually seems to me to be the best way to ensure that no progress is made.
