This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I refer of course to Brendan's closing of this thread:

http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?p=726543

I'm not sure what about presenting a collection of facts and statistics brands me as "crazy", but fuck you for saying so Brendan you fence sitter of legend. Reopen the thread, I'd like to talk about this and from the PMs I'm getting others feel the same.

On a related note, discussion of these issues is forbidden at rpgnet.

If pundit is interested, I am happy to open it. But I think that subforum is getting way too many political threads. And yes I think your constant harping on men's rights has started to make you look crazy.

What constant harping, 99% of my threads and posts are RPG related. You do know who Erin Pizzey is right, the founder of womens' shelters? I guess she's crazy too, along with all those facts and statistics. Sorry to have tread on your rhubarb but the truth will out, regardless of how you feel about it.

Traveller, I closed that thread because I have no interest in discussion of feminism (pro or con) and think there are too many politically oriented threads. So I am not going to engage here about the topic. For someone who makes a steady habit of insulting posters you are demonstrating pretty thin skin over the crazy jab.

Who asked you? The reality is you closed that thread because it touched on too many issues you personally would rather not deal with, regardless of how they might have affected other members.

Did you really think I have a problem with Polish people? The difference is you're actually serious.

Traveller this isn't a political forum. It is an rpg forum. The pundit subforum has started looking way too much like tangency in the past few weeks. I would have closed that thread whether you had opened it or Andrea Dworkin herself came back from the dead and opened it. I don't care what angle if was taking or what sex the OP happens to be.

Nope. That isn't why. But feel free to think so.

Sure, you hop back up on that fence. Freedom of speech my ass.

I am not hopping on any fences. Happy to get off the fence if that is what you prefer. I think you 're a nut. I think you probably post drunk most of the time. I think you are one step away from posting Alex Jones links. But that isn't why I closed the thread. I closed the thread because this isn 't tangency.

No, you closed the thread because you felt threatened by a few bare facts. As for the rest, I honestly didn't expect more from you, so well done.

I will point out again that all I have done is to respond to another forum member, using facts and evidence based arguments, as a result of which I have been unjustly called crazy twice, a drunk (which is marvellously racist), and apparently some kind of conspiracy theorist by BB while my opinion was silenced by the same bigot. That's the extent of my sins.

I know, nobody asked me but...

Don't just close the thread, obliterate it. Yes, it's factual and true and all but, closing it gives him the first, last, and only word, even if it's a good word. That's not a fair way to have a discussion.

If fairness isn't a good enough reason, obliterate it because it just has no business here (and calling him crazy was unnecessary).

Library Lass may be trolling, may be not...but he can always PM (alleged) her with this stuff...I kinda want game-related stuff here.
