I am most definitely not encouraging anyone to throw out insults at either side. Itās not right, and it doesnāt make anyone look good or smart.
I understand when people are upset, but itās a game and I may have came off as patronizing him a bit.
Silence cannot objectively be considered endorsement because then everyone is guilty of anotherās terrible comments at any given time on these threads.
Iām going to move on from this conversation, Ely - you know itās less about encouraging him than it is about not calling him on it. Itās disappointing that solidarity wins out this way because apparently I personally am anā¦
I donāt see how I am. Fyre saying high elves are blood elves and a helfer saying weāre dishonest and only barely human is not the same thing. Trying to conflate the two is extremely dishonest.
Oh yeah, Iām sure after you all got done patting him on the back and telling him how he was in the right, you all savaged him on discord.
To be fair you come in out of nowhere to re hash things in my experience, and flat out told me you didnāt like me, and that you werenāt going to drop personal attacks on me. And Iāve let that go, if someone is bothering you in either side I suggest you just mute them, and spread love, or in your case hype of the Horde and integrity of faction lines that I think thought Iām not sure is something Iāve seen you argue against HEās for.
I would also say Iām unwilling to call people out who Iāve not seen do anything and then have only the word of people who donāt have credibility with me. So the most we can do is advise a amicable way to resolve something, like just ignoring those that rile us up.
Iām going to ask you to stay out of this. Ely and I are long-standing āfrenemiesā who, while on opposite sides of this debate, have always managed that relationship with respect, humor, and usually genuine friendship. Weāve known each other here far longer than you have been part of this conversation and itās for us to work out.
I would invite you to stay out of things that poke at me too and yet you do what you want.
Regardless I was offering advice on muting someone if something bothered you, and Iām going to go back to taking my own advice on non involvement in sticky situations.
Donāt let him bait you. Youāre a positive force and it isnāt worth letting the sycophants bring you down. In my experience you elevate the conversation above the petty tribalism. Keep up the good work.
When someone makes an absolute ignoramus of himself itās sad that it can put relations so far back.
You should know that I donāt think you personally, Bro, starla, Guzzle, or most other antis that pass through here are not instigators. I certainly do not think you guys are caricatures of people. We often disagree on this subject, but I think no less of you for it.
I am not perfect, I havenāt called people out appropriately when I could. But I donāt expect that you or other antis will do the same every time when they some members are being inappropriate.
If someone thinks you guys are dumbā¦ then they donāt know you well enough.
And my issue is this is an ongoing issue, an issue that is continually taken to a personal level.
Nothing is ever done to fix it, the best we get is āhey youāre completely in the the right on every point and theyāre all pricks and deserve what they get but maybe donāt tell them exactly how exactly how horrible they are.ā
