The Weederlands

1: if you didnt care about others opinions, you wouldnt be so anal about enforcing the rule, complaining that you were called a moron and calling us childish for boycotting. You are making it escalate yourself. 2: Our very point is that the rule is wrong, at least misenforced. A significant degree of leniency should be allowed in internet debates. Subsequently, lambda doesnt think she (?) should be allowed to say everything, that's strawman as !@#$. Lambda thinks the phrases used were okay. 3: Lambda says the warning was for the phrase 'with utter disgust and contempt' with regards to some persons opinion.

It's not about not being able to say anything nice then staying quiet: you should be able to say things that others consider offensive so long as they aren't offensive by a more objectivized standard. If I find every word the mods say offensive because I say so, then all mods should be banned. It also undermines the whole point of a debate if moderation with regards to debate isn't reluctant to ban, because with every ban comes the ban of an opinion. You should only ban those posts that are clearly, without a shadow of a doubt offensive, and banning anything in the grey area sets you on a path that's absolutely terrible for any online forum. Lambda's posts are definitely not among 'clearly offensive'. Therefore, I support the boycott of the debate forum. Let's discuss our opinion of the boycott and its reasons here.

12: quoting an opinion article. You know where this image now goes, huh? Hint: it rhymes with 'the rash'
