Why High Elves Don't Work: A Primer (Part 1)

[Guzzle-barthilas]

I’ve only liked posts with PRO HE content. You’ve made and liked tons of personal attacks against me. Your qualm is with the person who made statements not me in this instance, this is the 3rd time you’ve tried to call me out on something someone else did and link me to it, this is the third time I’m hitting return to sender.

Oh my mistake you’re right. You didn’t like them all. You just liked a few racist posts and told the people making them how much you enjoyed reading their posts as they made them.

My bad.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Gonna have to agree with Guzzle here… I support high elves being payable on alliance but you post this stuff several times a day as though it’s a copy paste and it feels so off.

hmm. well classes are: faery magic, bard (shaman spec), hunter, druid, monk and warrior. cant be dks or dhs.

so the bard starts playing a flute. his dryad steps up and entangling roots the target.

(sec, running someone thru scarlet monastery cathedral)

bard (shaman spec)

No thanks.

I did not praise anyone for disparaging attacks. You continue to mock me all the time however

you really can’t spend kindness when you don’t offer the same… to be a little less serious, it’s basically the “Law of equivalent exchange”.

You have shown me no such kindness, and I attempted to comment on what I saw in your defense by making sure you knew I’d as a blanket statement defend anyone under such circumstances. I do not know what the conversation delved into and I’m not commenting on it any further.

This implies someone is in power to systemically stomp you out. I’m an American, if someone pointed this out to me I would not assume a form of this was intended, if someone sought to belittle me for being Asian American or belittle being Filipino Korean then I would.

Also as a blanket statement to anyone I want it to be known I’d defend you vehemently if this was the case.

If it ended up being the case I am sorry, but at the time I commented to the best of my ability of what I saw to let it be known I did not stand for that, as to anything else I didn’t see it. But the fact you expect so much from me that you’ve done nothing to warrant my kindness but id still bend over backward to let you know I am a safe place when it comes to stuff like this was my attempt to be kind.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

aww okay

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

I support high elves being payable on alliance but you post this stuff several times a day as though it’s a copy paste and it feels so off.

I’ll make sure not to read your comments then, I often like to praise people who spend so much time contributing to lore, but I know you’re not worth reading then thanks Fezzy.

[Gulkas-barthilas]

Mate, stop spreading that made up definition of racism.

Here’s the definition according to the Red Cross. You know, that organisation that sends doctors and supplies into active genocides.

Racism takes many forms and can happen in many places. It includes prejudice, discrimination or hatred directed at someone because of their colour, ethnicity or national origin.

People often associate racism with acts of abuse or harassment. However, it doesn’t need to involve violent or intimidating behaviour. Take racial name-calling and jokes. Or consider situations when people may be excluded from groups or activities because of where they come from.

Racism can be revealed through people’s actions as well as their attitudes. It can also be reflected in systems and institutions. But sometimes it may not be revealed at all. Not all racism is obvious. For example, someone may look through a list of job applicants and decide not to interview people with certain surnames.

Racism is more than just words, beliefs and actions. It includes all the barriers that prevent people from enjoying dignity and equality because of their race.

General Reminder: Just because you use polite sounding language, it does not cover up the fact that you are making personal attacks against people with that ‘polite’ language.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Oooof.

You do you man.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

I said I commented to the best of my ability. I’ve seen Guzzle comment to Fya at being “a typical American” and I took the original statement the same way, I do not know what the conversation delved into.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

I’ve seen Guzzle comment to Fya at being “a typical American”

And that’s BIIIIIIIIIG [citation needed]

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

How about a shaman tank spec based on earth?

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

Big citation needed for what you’re accusing me of, when I publicly tried to the best of my knowledge quell the situation while extending an olive branch to let you know if it continued I’d vehemently defend, if the conversation delved into more I’m sorry I don’t watch the forums 24/7, that is with you and someone else but you pinning it on me isn’t cool.

EDIT: it was in reference to Fya saying something about the revolutionary war and you commented back on her typical American outlook. If you really want me to do the digging how many days ago and in which thread that was in, if I have time I will.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Big citation needed for what you’re accusing me of

People see it Fya thank you for the lore arguments I always enjoy reading them and either educating myself on things or simply enjoying the reading

While I do not always agree with everything you’ve or anyones said, because no one can be right all the time, I always enjoy your thorough and thought provoking points on lore that provokes an open ended discussion on a topic that is interesting to read about

Now, where’s yours?

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

This implies someone is in power to systemically stomp you out.

Why are you bringing systemic racism (and a bad definition of it, the height of that bar basically covers up most of the problems of systemic racism completely) to deflect blame in a situation where someone was making personal level racist attacks? That’s like saying if someone took a swing at me, they didn’t commit assault because armored units make assualts and since tanks weren’t involved that doesn’t fit that definition.

[Firewoman-spirestone]

Well seeing as how the High Elves aren’t working. We thought maybe we could get some Fey Gnomes to do the job.

haha…I see.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

You were already accusing me of supporting rhetoric, so that was me stating, I did not support that part of the argument, and telling fya she can make her point without continuing down the path it was on because I think she is articulated and can make points without resorting to that.

EDIT: I did not say that explicitly I admit but I consider the comment a nudge.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

EDIT: it was in reference to Fya saying something about the revolutionary war and you commented back on her typical American outlook.

Mate, saying someone has a typical American outlook on American history is not at all comparable to straight up saying Australians are dishonest and Australians are stupid…

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Oh jeeze that bs, that’s wasn’t even plain old american exceptionalism, that was an odd skewed retelling of the founding designed to push a niche political view.
