but I'll tell you this: what I find really problematic is how some people feel that they must be shielded from any remotely offensive thing, and lash out in a rage, threatening to injure or KILL (art) people who disagree with them.
I agree with what you said, but if i remember correctly he just said something like he would knock me out but not kill...
He apologised said he was leaving the forum for a while and then the thread was taken away
Hm, i must have missed that...if he's apologized for it, then that shows strength and changes the picture of course.
There are nearly 40,000 other members to take into account and i think that pulling certain inflamatory threads is the best way of dealing with them
Perhaps they could be closed, so that important info on members behaviour and conflicts stays public. Like i said i did not know of any apology for instance. Moving the Thread away fropm the public eye looked like a purely political decision to me, as not to damage a moderators reputation.
If every member donated 1 euro each the Nexus would be financially sorted for years. Just a bit of food for thought...
Yes,i also find that important and have lobbied for making the nexus self sustainable if i remember correctly. I recognize that accepting sponsorships is problematic though.
PS obli, I understand that there may have been some lingering emotions behind your statements about trav earlier in the thread and I wasn't going to respond in order to not derail this thread, but since that is now a moot issue I will say it anyway: claiming that trav only does things wrong is obviously wildy inaccurate.
I'm sorry if i've worded it too strongly. And yes, dissapointment was the motivation behind my words. Of course, the traveler doesn't always make bad decisions. It simply pained me to see him so absent and reacting ....for lack of a better word....stressed out.
As for the feminism debate and whatnot: I think most people want to be respected, but i find it most important to look at the intent first. Super easy to get caught up in minor details. I for one am clearly against the new brand of feminism and what people call SJW Culture - but not because i hate people or minorities or like opression or authotitarianism
Many cases i find purely academic and having them be instrumentalized to antagonize groups of people....well, speaking of TRUE victims.
I won't be getting into a big heated debate here. I would just hope that some people would consider perspectives that seem outrageous. I did, and it changed me.
