Proof that they are going fucking nuts over at rationalskepticism with the group attack rule

http://www.rationalskepticism.org/feedb ... 11453.html

This post violates the FUA because it contains clear group attacks.
Really?


[quote="PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn";p="410717"]there is a distinction to be made between fat and obese.

fat people are still people, obese are just moving balls of lard.

a fair few friends of mine are fat, and I take the piss somewhat, but they know me, and know I dont mean most of it.

however, obese people truly disgust me (especially when I see the fuckers stuffing their faces on sausage rolls......)

I suppose part of it comes from the fact I can do nothing about my limitations because of my health, but those people are inflicting the limitations upon themselves and that pisses me off.

however at the same time, I get extremely pissed off with "diet foods". just eat less you greedy fuckers.......

however I dont let them know how much they annoy me.

that said, I can out eat most of them, yet I dont put on any weight....

Are we all such fucking children that we have to be protected from anything and everything that might hurt our feelings. Are we that frail and so precious that we can't tolerate being offended or criticized or knowing that someone dislikes some aspect of our person?

Isn't this over weaning protectionism becoming a tad bit absurd?

If a person hasn't the emotional strength or the self esteem to read critical comments by anonymous persons on the internet--stay off the fucking internet.

Posting the time and date at Ratzskep constitutes trolling.

I got banned permanently from one board. Not everybody is at Gallstones' level of maturity, but we should expect members to get there.

Jesus GS. The name of the site (over there) is RATIONAL skepticism. What's rational about group generalisations? If you don't like rational debate, then there's plenty of other places around the net for you to go. I like attacking people as much as the next guy, but when I'm over there, I just simply play by the rules. It's not like you or I are forced to stay there, or are tricked into thinking we can slag off whoever we like and then later find out that we can't. It's all very up front and clearly stated in the FUA. Not every place on the net has to turn into a useless shitfest. It's ok to have diversity you know.

Diversity?


It's not enough that we can't complain over there without being told to suck it up or go away, you have to come to this other place and tell me to shut up too? Why are so many so afraid of criticism? That is not rational.

[Gallstones]

Does that mean you're spinning?

Calm down (wo)man. I'm not telling you to "shut up". I'm making the point that it's not rational to group generalise, and that ratskep is devoted to rational thinking. I'm presenting a counter argument to your point of view. And what's funny about "diversity"? I'm obviously not talking about diversity within the site, but diversity across the internet. Most forums are a shitfest. Having diversity means we can still have our shitfest sites, but we can also have a calmer more rational site like ratskep.

Look, i agree with you and others that the FUA is pretty restrictive when it comes to personal issues like sexuality and suicide, and that if there was a choice between locking feedback threads or leaving them open I would choose the latter, but for me I am happy to make this trade-off for the benefit of a reasonably civil rational discussion forum.

And let's not forget, your feedback campaign regarding Eryemil's sanction had a positive ending, suggesting that the mods ARE willing to listen to a good argument.
