Policy Changes: How do you feel?

--- Quote from: paynesgrey on July 07, 2010, 11:01:58 PM ---Not a "Political Correctness" issue so much as a "Jim don't want to hear you guys arguing about this when you're sitting on his couch drinking his beer." The new policy applies to both Left and Right, and everything in the middle. As for the Be Nice Or Go policy, that's not about sensitivey cuddlesomeness, it's just abiding by our host's standards of behaviour. Manners, basically.

Darn it, I missed the beer too!
--- Quote from: paynesgrey on July 07, 2010, 11:01:58 PM ---You weren't here for the Epic Pissing Matches that spawned in TT. We've got people on the Left, Right, Middle, as well as some people who are Extreme Left on a couple issues, but also Extreme Right on others. Even I, paragon of genteel and respectful conversation, from time to time, once in a great while, would upon rare occassion. say things that might be considered sarcastic, unpleasant, even snarky. We had some good discussions, good points, thought provocationey things. And for every one of those conversations, there'd by 6 where things just kept going south of nasty. Then the "debates" would spill over into unrelated threads about the books, kitty cats or cheese. This happened more and more.

That's what I heard, and I understand why it happened. I just regret that it had to.

I’m very glad that was left in there, but sometimes you really do need to let it out and have someone get you through it. I guess I’m just too idealistic about humans’ capability of interacting peacefully. Wow. When did I become an optimist?
Thanks for the response.

I understand the political angle, but what about ethical issues? I don't think there are "factions" only people with opinions, like "I don't like Changes' ending" or "I think (click to show/hide)a father should know if she has a daughter"

I thought those were still around, although people did get strongly opinionated about Susan.

WARNING, CHANGES SPOILERS
We try to keep Dresdenverse discussions strongly grounded in the Dresdenverse and leave real-world ethics at arm's reach. It's the difference between "I think (click to show/hide)Susan should have told Harry they have a kid" and "I think (click to show/hide)a mother should tell a father they have a kid."
Curly:
But Priscellie,
People here like to explain their views and hear explanations of other people's views. Take the (click to show/hide)Who shot Harry thread, would it really be interesting to have 60+ pages of people saying " I think X did it" without giving any reasons?
Would it even be possible to discuss Dresdenverse ethics without indicating one's real-world beliefs?
