It probably shouldn't but at the same time I'd like to actually HAVE an real discussion, so I think I still have some things to post once I collect my thoughts.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
^^I never thought about that either. Also, I never saw this until now, but they actually put many of the Junie B. Jones books on Kindle. Time to become a child again.
I know, right? And the local public library has a website where I can check out almost all the Junie B. books for free. I spent a week or so binging them a couple months ago.

Back from my dad's concert. I was supposedly helping the sound technician, but I didn't have to do a lot.
It went pretty well, I thought.
Did you get to look over his/her shoulder and see what he/she does? I'm rather fascinated by just how much buttons, dials, and sliders these people have to work with.

heapers present a fairly conventional take on a "social justice" issue
other heapers accuse them of expressing a stereotypical strawman liberal opinion that has fuck-all to do with what they actually wrote
pro-social justice heapers respond with irritation
pro-social justice heapers banned, mods act condescending about it
How comfortingly familiar! I feel so much more at home here now! In fact, I will be submitting my application for modhood to Anonus straight away, just as soon as I find my old Fluttershy chicken avatar! :D

...wait, wait, so we have:

I had to put two regulars on probation because rather than discuss try to untangle the discussion woes, they decided to attack another members reading comprehension skills.
I was NOT happy about it, I still ain't.
Now if this REALLY think I did this because the two where "pro-social justice" (and, for the record, I don't think Claus really shared Whale's view). I suggest you step back and THINK about the situation before posting further.
Claus was right, you really dont have any reading skills.
It must have been hard growing up without reading comprehension.
Regardless of what else was said, those are not acceptable things to say.
No, obviously not, but those were expressions of frustration after they were strawmanned like crazy by Corporal Forsythe and Justice immediately acted like they were the ones at fault.
Which is precisely how most of the controversial civility bans back on TVT played out.

I am not suggesting that you regard being pro-social justice as being in itself a bannable offence, if that's what you mean.
Am I being threatened here? I would like to be clear on that before I proceed.
Because this is the general off-topic thread and I'm not aware of a formal system in place here for voicing grievances. I could have said something in the Social Justice thread but it's a discussion thread so that would be a derail.
For future reference, how would you rather I expressed my disapproval?

If you really think I put people on probation for holding an opinion I didn't hold. I'm pretty damned steamed.
The fact that you decided the best course of action was immediately jump on the main thread and start throwing accusations and declare the mods where acting "condescending about it".
What exactly do YOU think is the appropriate response here?

Maybe send a PM to the mods in question, or hell even it's own thread would be nice.

Not as such, I don't. What, you think we did that on TVT? Do you think I'd have stuck around there as long as I did if that were an accepted practice there? Because if that's the case I think I should be the one feeling "pretty damn steamed".
But no, I think you certainly intended to enforce the rules as they are written.

I was angry, I'll admit it. I'm still kind of angry, as a matter of fact. I may have acted rashly, and I could certainly have been more polite.
I will know in future that this is not the thread to express complaints in. May we take this to PMs, then?

Since I think this probably shouldn't be discussed further...
...I have no segue.
Darnit.
erm, That definitely wasn't what I expected.

So.
I'll probably be getting brand new headphones today.
(*Small victory dance*)
^ (*Giggle*)
They're ok, got nice, even response, even if I usually prefer over-ear to on-ear headphones.

I feel bad about thinking about this just now, but isn't Anonus from Colorado?
Has he been affected by the wildfires? Is he okay?
They sound pretty good awesome, but the slight bass bump makes most of my metal albums sound muddy.
Nothing an EQ can't fix, but still kinda annoying.
Back from my dad's concert. I was supposedly helping the sound technician, but I didn't have to do a lot.
It went pretty well, I thought.
Anyway, listening to Willia Walton's Symphony #1 in B-flat minor, for the first time.

Never mind, I'll go elsewhere.

Things seem to have gotten unpleasant in my absence today. Clearly I must never leave again.
I am...thoughtful.
