Above Political Correctness

'Kay then, my bad on the whole law comparison. I was just overly sensitive to what I interpreted as an insinuation that "I did not know the laws."

I'll concede that sometimes the "White Knights" articulating anger or passionate resentment towards those who say offensive or insensitive comments may deserve to be punished. But I'll stick to my guns on the fact that I feel that those who do say offensive or insensitive comments sometimes get away with a bit too much on the forums and Moderators should be a bit harsher in warning / containing those situations or punishing the person who provokes the "White Knights."

And on that note I'm pretty much done with this discussion in part because I have to study for finals and in part because fighting against y'all really isn't in my best interests nor constituted my personal intentions. As someone who has believed NonCon actually deserved stiff penalties in the past for overreacting (and I say that despite considering myself his friend, and I know that even he would likely agree), I just felt like this time wasn't much of an overreaction.

Since this thread started though I've kind of gone into "White Knight" mode myself in fighting a perceived injustice, and if I continue going down this route I'm going to overreact myself, and let's face it that'd be pretty fucking stupid of me.

Something like that?

I think you got the right NonCon.

Or was that EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED YOU TO THINK

BEHOLD!

To be fair, this honestly excludes a lot of actual americans.

Also discriminatory to us non-Americans. Offended!

[shiney]

Not true! You can still read american english!

I should say that Shiney has been more... active than previous and has made some abrasive posts in that time.

There's a mountain in Tibet that needs you at its summit.

I have a great pic for that. There's less moustache involved than what everyone else has been posting, though.

So what does being indifferent to all things and telling people to calm the fuck down earn me? Cause I've tried to be a voice of reason before, but just like this time, people seem to be ignoring me.
