A Possible Change In The Rules - RatSkep tangent

[kiki5711]

Charlou, I haven't heard anything more from you or anybody else about that post you were going to report, but I am curious about what part of what I said to The Mad Hatter was over the line. Was it the part about him jerking off on the internet? Was it the part about how often he gets laid? Was it the part where I said that myself (and other) would be shocked to find out that he had a girlfriend?

Hey, at least I didn't say or even implying that he was packing his own fudge.

Well, let me do it to you.

never heard that before!

It's a pity that everyone - Starr, Mazille and Theses95 asked, or are asking to have their accounts suspended. I'm as frustrated as the next person with how this discussion has been going - but open dialogue can't happen when you shut down, whether it's having your account suspended or locking a thread.

I want to apologize for any part I may have had in driving you all away - Starr, I hope you are reading this because I am sincere when I say this. I'm very sorry if your feelings and sensibilities have been hurt or if you have felt attacked in any way, it was not my intention.

I wonder if it's possible for everyone to just take a break from this thread and let things calm down a bit? You are all valued members of our community - please don't go.

Did you see what Posse did to the "Yes it is, No it isn't" section?

I put myself in the group that can't see it after that.

What's going on with posse? There's been no report .. ?

I don't know what on earth that was about, but I'll post what I was planning to.

The way people are claiming certain kinds of "censorship" are "wrong" in this thread strikes me as bizarre. If many of you are subjectivists or relativists, as you claim to be, you're not saying anything more significant than that you prefer one way over another. Yet you then go on to claim one way is more rational than the other. The point of a subjectivist account of normativity (at least the way many of you phrase it) is that isn't a domain of rationality. I'm sorry, but it just comes off as an attempt to have your cake and eat it too.

It's more an attempt to get people to understand that everyone should be allowed to have their cake and eat it. IOW, let people express their views and debate those views rather than veto, censor or repress them.

I understand that's the prevailing view here, whereas our rules seem more teleological, but I was more suggesting that "rational" in that context doesn't seem to denote anything.

I agree ... and I don't think suggesting that all people ought to be allowed to express their views so they're up for debate, without repression, is making a claim about rationality.

Kiki, I first encountered the term "Fudgepacker" in a movie I saw about 20 years ago. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was about two young guys who go on a murder-for-kicks spree in Los Angeles. In the movie, this grizzled, old cop, who doesn't like gays, says something to his partner about "fudgepacker bars." I don't know where the term actually originated, but quite a few people seem to be familiar with its usage and understand its meaning.

It's a derogatory term for gay men. It's pretty old, and very unoriginal.

I understand there's bigdealotry behind it ... ie attempting to make a bigoted big deal about nothing at all.
