Oh fuck off. You know exactly what the dispute is about. Nobody is claiming that the modifiers trans and cis are meaningless.
Perhaps I was wrong. @octopus. Maybe you’re joining the Disingenuous racists—using free speech arguments to defend a poster who has made it clear she wants to be able to post bigoted bullshit and harass trans people.
Oh, please, you folks are just sad little creatures who derive some weird pleasure from silencing those who don’t parrot verbatim your approved mantras.
Criticism isn’t silencing.
You are 1/2 right BigT, which is impressive in these parts, I am a free speech advocate. Even when said free speech disagrees with my point of view. That’s what separates me from the hive.
Care to, yet again, not make it clear what your position on the issue is?
Oh goodie! It’s The Octopus Show again!
The who?
I’m guilty of this as well. As a reminder to myself, this thread is to talk about trolls, not to them.
Should I split off the Octo show? It is beyond tiresome that he hijacks this thread so often. I could split it to his thread.
I think people should be able to debate anything. That’s my stance. I also don’t feel people should be forced to speak in a way they feel is dishonest to their perceptions as I don’t feel anyone has a privileged position on the how the world is viewed. I also feel that this is a private place and the owner can make whatever rule they/he/she wishes.
Doesn’t he have his own thread?
I’m thinking thread ban for this one, but you’re the boss.
You modding the pit now?
I’m willing to in this case. I’ll clear it with Miller later.
I’m tired of your hijacks when you have your own special playground.
When we criticize, it’s demonizing. When you do it, it’s standing up for free speech. Good one!
You have yet to connect any of these positions to the vague criticism you make of Dopers in general.
Nice dodge dude! Was it really that difficult for you to tell what the question was?
You realize I’m allowed to post in any pit thread? This thread I’m not obligated to post in at all? That this is not a pseudo-‘box’?
What’s a pseudo-‘box’ I ask with complete innocence?
I do, but I also know you love to hijack threads. It appears to be your hobby.
