So the part where she went off in emo_snal's post about the subject never happened, nor did she make a post demanding people vote for her because of it? (Oh, I forgot, there was an apology the next day.)
What I am saying is that she didn't bring it up in the first place and I don't know if you saw them or not, but she was hardly the only person to have a reaction to them pro or anti.
What was or wasn't done after it was out there is what it is. Some people thought it was an appropriate response. Other people thought it was an over-the-top completely out of proportion response.
Again, it comes down to perspective.
It comes down to people coming into a public forum and talking about other people and their motivations, and what folks are going to read into that. It's part of what makes it so tricky to enforce any sort of standard, because when you peel it back, the behaviors aren't really all that far apart.
I think you're splitting hairs to project the image of neutrality here. I think that is a bit disingenuous and not a stance I care for personally. But, it is your game to do as you wish.
I would reiterate again that I think you should take up rm's suggestion, because she does do excellent PR.
Obviously we are going to disagree. At the end of the day though I know that it's not even slightly disingenuous and I hope that the people actually involved with these situations know that as well.
I am certainly open to hear what people do think is "good sportsmanship" though. What is and isn't acceptable behavior is always worth the time.
I think the utterly massive difference between "His/her entry is digusting to me" and "He/she is disgusting" needs to be something grokked in the broader discourse.
There are ways to express even extreme distaste for a person's style, subject matter and presentation that are not dehumanizing or gratuitously cruel.
This, however, is either lost on some people at some times or wilfully overlooked.
We focus so much on how to write entries or how to play the game. How about we talk about how to have a conversation?
I have only had comment notifications for the last hour. It has been frustrating to say the least.
I am not going to argue with you (or anyone else). Kris knows what really happened between the two of us and why I apologized. Whether he chose to share that in his journal under lock-and-key, I don't know.
I know what our discussions were like in public. I know what our discussions were like privately. They don't match... perhaps he would like to share why? I agreed I wouldn't press the matter at the time.
I appreciate your honesty in your opinion of my behavior from your perspective. Since this is, as far as I can remember, the first time you have said anything about it, and chose such a public forum to do so, I am double-happy to have had a chance to respond in the same forum.
I don't hide my game interactions behind filters... ever. It is something I am rather proud of.
You're right, I have not ever addressed the topic. It would have served no purpose to talk about it in my journal or your journal. Why bother? I think it's more headache than it is really worth. I brought it up here because I was asked to point at a specific example and yours seemed most relevant to the moment.
Thank you, although I fail to see why I am most relevant to the moment, unless there is something else going on that I am unaware of that somehow involves me.
ETA: Since I won't be making it through this round anyway, I am not sure it matters either way.
