Re: Ethical Philosophy Test.
It looked like you were calling a heterosexual man gay in a roundabout way, which pisses off some hetero men. Surendra is cool about it, tho. I don't see a problem, actually, but it's nerve-racking on staff when people start making potentially personally offensive comments about other members. I think that's about the extent of it. No biggie, as far as I can see. Just a gentle reminder to not juggle grenades.Coito ergo sum wrote:I really don't get it.

Re: Ethical Philosophy Test.
Of course. For some reason, I am more offended by computational incompetence than by mistakes about my sexual preferences. Sue me. I'm understandably spooked when my predilection for vaginatarianism gets picked up spuriously, like that, when they didn't even ask me about it explicitly.FBM wrote:Surendra, if you input 'male' and it said you're a lesbian, no sweat, eh?

It happens all the time. Personally offensive is common. For some reason any reference, humorous or otherwise, to gayness immediately results in moderators swooping in like hawks. People must be on a hair-trigger to complain about gay references.FBM wrote:

Did the test. Waste of time.
Not really surprising. Totally ignoring the ethics implied by Marxism is bound to result in a failure of a survey.

But be careful about engaging in vigourous self-congratulation. That can just set some people's teeth on edge.
