The Handling of Personal Attacks Going Forward

The Batlord · 07-23-2018, 10:15 AM

It was a discussion about racism and someone took offense to being called racist. That's just kinda how those discussions go. You can't tweak the rules to please every thin-skinned baby.

None of that would be happening if rs didn't post the thread. It was kind of bound to happen. YD doesn't usually stay quiet. Which isn't a bad thing tbf.

No, disagree with you both. YD came out and made a remark about RS without any provocation, referring back to previous posts. That's not on. That's ****ing harassment. There was no need for that comment, and then YD goes and says "oh if he didn't keep saying insensitive things" or something. Which RS did not. YD just used a previous, already responded to comment/post as a way to have another dig at the guy.

Fair enough though I disagree in part because you and I both know pretty well that posting a thread like rs will have backlash. I've not really posted in there but I've watched it. YD isn't the only one trying to stir things up. Tho again, can you really not expect it?

Bro, srsly, your argument seems to hinge on Rubber Soul not having said anything showing at least slight racism, and we've had this discussion about you and your subconscious racism, so I think you're just two guys with the same mindset circling the wagons after being called out in the last few days about the same instance.

No, the thing is you have that arse-about-face Kiii. YD made his comment in the "Genres suggestions" thread, where RS said he was out, he'd had enough of the threads. It was only AFTER this uncalled-for comment that RS then made his thread, in a direct response to, and as a direct result of, that snide comment.

Key · 07-23-2018, 10:37 AM

But my point is he couldve confronted YD personally and privately. Rs instead decided to get the whole forum involved. So it's on him.

It's not really. When you get some smartarse making a comment like this

then maybe for some people it's time to re-evaluate as to whether you want to be here or not. YD is not easy to talk to and he wasn't about to back down. Now I will agree RS does seem to have a really thin skin (this isn't the first time he's left over similar comments) but he obviously wanted to see what other people thought, see if he was maybe overreacting before doing anything.

I maintain the above quote was unnecessary and very provocative, could even be seen as inflammatory. All against the rules. And I wonder why no mod has even spoken quietly to YD about it and explained it's not acceptable, but once again, promises promises and everything gets ignored and swept under the carpet.

Nah Rubber Soul had made passive aggressive comments in other threads for no reason and it was annoying. Much like a sober version of my Jaws ****posting. Awesome movie btw.
