Ra's Statements About 2D Entities

[Monica]

Post #6, you already start devaluing the feedback/opinion of others because it doesn't fall within your acceptable parameters of discussion:

No, because it didn't fit into the topic's parameters of discussion. I was trying to keep the discussion ON-topic. The topic of eating meat wasn't on-topic. As I said, there are plenty of other threads discussing that.
 
Please quit twisting my words.

According to this, you wanted people in the thread to role play an animal being eaten. I'm not sure that you're going to get a bunch of on-topic posts in regards to that thought experiment.

It is a valid topic, from the Law of One perspective. If the idea of discussing what it feels like from the perspective of the animal being tortured/killed is distasteful, then what does that say?

Also, the definition of facetious, for posterity:

You left out the rest: synonyms: flippant, flip, glib, frivolous, tongue-in-cheek, ironic, sardonic, joking, jokey, jocular, playful, sportive, teasing, mischievous

I intended it as tongue-in-cheek, joking, playful, half-serious, but much milder than sarcasm.

You keep saying it was outrageous that you would diminish my time as a vegan, thank you for agreeing with my point. This is why I laughed and even started using "sarcasm" and "facetiousness" myself, because it WAS outrageous.

WHY do you keep insisting that I was diminishing your time as a vegan??? That doesn't even make any sense! I mean seriously, why not stop and think about it for a minute? You know I'm championing the animals. Why on Earth would I diminish a VEGAN? The idea is outrageous...ludicrous! That alone should tell you that you are wrong about my intentions.

So in this analogy, which part is the sickness? The veganism or age? Do I have to be old enough to "get" this "sickness" or do I have to be vegan long enough? How sick do I have to be before my opinion is worth being acknowledged?

WOW, you have really twisted my words beyond belief! How many times do I need to repeat to you that I wasn't demeaning the number of years you've been vegan?

That has nothing to do with whether your opinions are 'worth being acknowledged' and everything to do with the HOW you voice your opinions. If you have a personal issue with me or anyone else, the appropriate way to handle it is privately, NOT by taking a discussion thread off-topic.

This has nothing to do with me, by the way. When I was mod, I would have said exactly the same thing, if anyone started a personal criticism of anyone else. And I did so. It simply isn't appropriate. It pollutes the thread, it takes it off-topic, it's hurtful, and it's a violation of the guidelines. Personal criticisms about ANYONE don't belong in ANY thread. That's what the pm system is for.

I'm done here. If you have anything else to say to me personally, you know how to use the pm system.
