In reply to the discussion: to all those men so "offended" by the feminists [View all]BainsBane
(57,680 posts)If you believe juries are impartial, you aren't paying attention or even reading comments. Are you honestly claiming that you haven't seen attacks allowed to stand? If so, why devote an entire thread in YOUR GROUP to calling out a member by name? If that post wasn't hidden, by your definition and appeal to "the dictionary" it could not have been offensive or abusive. Yet you as host allowed a thread aimed at denouncing that member by name to stand. That thread in the Men's Group was not hidden, despite violating guidelines about insults and calling out. You yourself complained about a single jury hide for months on end.
The dictionary has nothing to do with jury verdicts. Those are the result of people, some of whom make clear in their comments that they vote based on their views of the people involved in the exchange. Imagining a random collection of DUers determines the meaning of the English languages is bizarre. Your appeal to objectivity is the typical refuge of Positivism. It might even be persuasive if this were the nineteenth century.
I didn't say most valued members of HOF. In fact only one of those people is a regular HOF poster and friend of mine. I said their voices were missed. Period. Then again, why worry about someone actually says? That you let random groups of jurors determine your views of people and limit your friendships is truly unfortunate. I think for myself, and I bear no shame for caring about human beings that don't meet your approval.
If you can't deal with people as individuals, that is entirely your problem and one that is shared by some others. Since I do not exist as an individual human being to you, there is no need for you to bother talking to me. You have already decided what the view of the single HOF hoard is anyway.
