quote:
Disclaimer, the following is a general statement about people in general, and is only intended to apply to society or groups in general:
Frankly, I'd expect that any person who considered or protrayed themselves as 'dominant' should be able to address conflicts of opinions or differences of reasoning, by responding in an egalitarian or better manner, including engaging in direct and civil discussion with the persons with whom they'd disagreed, instead of resorting to situational scheming and leverage. YMMV of course, but to some extent that could parallel in some ways how Limbaugh's rhetorical abuses and subsequent responses evolved during recent events. (And that should, politely, return dialogue towards the OP's topic of this thread.)
Depending on who this was addressed too, it could, indeed, be seen as an attack. You arent addressing the post someone made, you are addressing the poster's ways of posting... in essence, attacking the poster... or, in the case, posters in general.
You do not have to like the way someone posts, and hide is always your option. You do not have to address any poster. From past experience, the politics and religion section was.. bad. Gamma has come in and worked very hard to give everyone a voice without the personal attacks, snarks, and derails. I actually, once again, look forward to reading and posting here because of the work the Mods have done.
Telling someone they lack conprehension of the material is not an attack.
Telling someone they are a dumb ass for their opinion is.

It merely laid out specific critique as applied to a general description of a political demographic.
If your previous post was anything like the post I am replying too, I can see the disconnect. Just because an attack is not aimed at what someone would consider a singular person does not mean it was not an attack on a certain group of posters.
For example...
You statements... they can be tricky and get a post pulled quickly.
"You republicans are all a bunch of hypocrites" will more than likely be pulled. Have to find a better way to phrase that. Many of us have complained about the way things are said, not what is said, just how. Its now getting much better.
As I suggested earlier, your questions would be much better suited, and received, in a private correspondence with the Mod who pulls the posts, instead of publicly trying to insist you did nothing wrong. Trust me, I have done just that, and had to quickly eat my words after a few exchanges, because I did not see what they saw.
Take a few and contact Gamma.
