pedantry, wilful misunderstanding and straight-up trolling
these are my hobbies, but i am too cowardly for much of #3, so please don't forget "being too much of a spacecadet to read entire sentences"

what are you even talking about i'm less interested in athletics than nearly anyone in the world and even i can tell you those two teams don't play the same sport
is this one of those "sportsball" things? "sportsball" irritates me, it just seems like a variation on "i don't even own a tv!"

I have to say, my decision not to post on or take seriously the ILX politics threads has been one of the best decisions of my life.

i'd say i'm embarrassed for having displayed my boundless ignorance of glaswegian football, but honestly i'm not. if there's a fault here its my having no idea which posters here are american and which are ukian, which i suppose is a fair cop.
an apology is probably due, though, so i hereby apologize.

Nah no need Kate imo, esp as it was a 2nd thought! We just like to make kneejerk fun of American myopia, I wasn’t having a go

the topic seems to often be discussed in absolutes, and I find that confusing/interesting/worth investigating. obviously I don't know how to talk about this stuff.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:13 (four years ago) link
Someone else should try and frame the question.

Thoughtlording on this topic in a forum where 3/4 of the women who made it more vital just a few years ago already have stopped posting is not something we need

(google not turning up anything but... ilx posts)
it's not that it's a bad conversation to have even as provocatively stated as it is it's that ilx (and any "public forum") is not the right place to have it

you know that dumb anecdote about the fish, where the punchline is "what is water?"

It’s not actually necessary to have public opinions about everything.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:42 (four years ago) link
I feel like the question has an answer I'm supposed to know, but I'm not allowed to ask it, and discussing it is verboten
I do not know the fish joke, no
xps
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:42 (four years ago) link
i agree - ppl should spend more time choosing their shots when they express a public opinion. good questions to ask before doing so "what do i aim to accomplish from this" "will this benefit people reading it"
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:43 (four years ago) link
shakey the answer is that it is too case dependent to give a binary answer but getting into the weeds is where all the bitterness and mess is and i don't feel confident in ilx's ability to discuss it really. nb i wouldn't have blocked the thread bc "free speech ethics" but i 100% understand the reason for doing so
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:44 (four years ago) link
there seems to be some disagreement about it being case dependent afaict. as well as what the criteria are for evaluating cases are or should be.
but yeah what is this accomplishing, I'm not learning anything and ppl are jumping all over me so .... anyway.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:47 (four years ago) link
I mean, if it's case dependent, then the binary answer is clearly 'no' :)
