having said that, i think it's difficult to maintain objectivity in a thread in which you are one of the most active participants within and thus i think gansta is in a difficult spot here and going to make mistakes as a result either through inaction out of fear of bias or via bias, it's a lose lose proposition which is why i don't think mods should be modding threads in which they are actively refuting things other people say
i also feel like meisner, although he may deserve it, is a bit ganged up on in the thread
you'll often get a situation where I, someone else, and meisner will all have very similar sentiments come out in a 3 post burst in which we all agree - what will nearly always happen is the more carefully constructed posts someone like chillrob or myself created will be left ignored and then 5 separate people (gansta included) will all quote post and attack his poorer constructed argument and wholly ignoring the others which say the exact same thing
it's very tribal in there and it's quite obvious a lot of the posters are just trying to gang up on meisner rather than have a genuine discussion because nobody in there is going to ever change their mind anytime soon
so i am quite sympathetic to meisner's interpretation of the things with the obvious caveat that if he learned to read the room, interact better with otheres, and post better he wouldn't face this kind of gang treatement to this extent
I disagree with the bolder. The rest is fairly accurate.
If you look back to my first posts in the thread, I was civil. I merely made my point, posted evidence, studies, whatever, but almost immediately I’m called names like “transphobe”, “hater,” etc simply because I had the balls to express a dissenting opinion. So, I figure, hell with it. No more mister nice guy.
And you cannot dispute the excessive name calling and outright threats toward me. I’ve threatened no person in any thread.
