1 - I do not agree but that is your opinion and will respect it.
2. In regards to hate, no purpose is served to compare this site to another. You are expressing the point of hate being blind and without preference to its object. Another site's philosophy is not this site's savior
2 - The analogy stands as proper, logical and related; your opinion, notwithstanding.
Until Drew may have opportunity to enact a form of moderation, we as individuals are the savior. There are four rules listed above where one posts, replies. We should all be aware of these and seek out a means of communication embodied in compassion, clothed in dignity, weathering respect.
I was waiting for someone to bring up the "Rules" here, or lack thereof. First off, since I've never seen you bring this up to other offenders (I am just one) your purpose of addressing just me is suspect. Common sense dictates we should treat all with courtesy and respect. However it applies to everyone.
This is what I think the original poster was making an effort to express. I may be incorrect. If so my humble apologies for misinterpreting what found itself in that post.
I stand corrected.
3. I think the original poster was using the statement of some, whom say bisexuals will be granted rights alongside homosexuals, as an example of hate and clearly knows that statement is false. They were not making the statement themselves, rather pointing to it as a matter of reference. Again, If I've misread, apologies.
3 - Consider the fact that Florida has starting purging voters based on the unproven assumption of voter fraud. Now even if a million people say it, it must be proven, which has not been done.
So too with the problem of biphobia. It exists but to what extent? Where are it's victims? Who are the victims? I acknowledge biphobia exists but no one has produced one iota of evidence as to its degree or permeation.
I did not see that the original poster was distorting anything. I believe they posted an expression which points out hate has gained purchase on this site. It is a site organized and maintained for people to express diverse views, become a community from what the mainstream deem dregs of society. More importantly, this site was founded I believe in order to grant us, homosexual, lesbian, heterosexual, transgender, all a safe harbor from the gale of hate. Nonetheless, hate seems to have set upon us here.
What hate? Can you show me examples? I don't see hate here. I see occasional bias, intolerance and stupidity but not this hate you talk about. Lets not wallow in hyperbole here.
Frankly, I do not see asking for a bit of self editing, a pinch of self censor as a 'bad' thing. We should respect ourselves in order to respect others. When one loses a salvo of insults at another, they may as well soil their own Sunday best outfit. What one says of another reflects back upon the one saying it. If we continually engage in an attitude of having to be superior to one another here, where all are accepted, then how may we ever hope to abolish hate in any form?
Clear lesson here for us all. Hate nor Love do not care about any classification. Choose wisely.
Wise words, let's see to it that everyone follows them
P.S. Please note I am not against any other web site. My expression regarding comparison is not meant to infer that in any way. My point simply being that comparing often leads back to an attitude of superior versus inferior, and that does not solve, or address the issue of helping to stop hate. Thanks.
