What did the author do to warrant a 6 month suspension for "past conduct"?

I hate people calling it aspergers, I have aspergers and I'm a totally decent human being. It's just that these chucklefucks are either so socially malformed by decades of alienating everyone around them that they have no idea what they're doing wrong, or they're doing it in spite of knowing how bad it is.

xeose4 posted:Is he, really? He always struck me as a self-interested rear end in a top hat, though admittedly I've only read a couple of stories on him. But at the same time he's perfectly willing to work with people even when it involves saving something that isn't his, or help friends (or even complete strangers, like creating Avacyn to balance out the black vampires on Innistrad) for someone else's benefit. There is some selfishness in those actions sure, but it's not entirely that way, as he's willing to make sacrifices for others. He may be hedonistic (although there's limits), but he's not sadistic.

And my gender Because gaming in general, but magic specifically, is filled with a bunch of misogynistic white dudes. I have no idea why they flock to hobbies like gaming, but they do. Oh and you're ashamed of your gender because guys intrinsically have power and often want to pretend they don't while abusing it to the fullest. As a dude, I share in your constant facepalming at our gender. Madmarker fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Nov 6, 2014 |

Those are reasonable opinions and is formed from even viewing behavior readily done at FNMs: "I'ma smack that hoe/bitch down" - attacking Elspeth or Lilliana Whoring herself out - Elspeth makes tokens *eyes wide open, after sitting down across a girl* *sweats heavily, but it is winter* *opens anime playmat, questionably aged and posed cat girl wearing a bikini* "S-s-so...you play magic too..." Please tell us how your store is great and this behavior isn't representative of the whole.

I'm glad I don't have to go to whatever lovely places you guys do. Really am. We have at most one anime playmat and one anime sleeve man. Nobody is misogynistic (at least out loud), and pretty much everyone is on board with being chill and cool with females being in the store. That's not to say lovely people don't exist but at the very least I don't have to deal with them. Count Bleck fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Nov 6, 2014 |

If you think the writer's behavior is abnormal and/or reprehensible then congratulations you're a normal person who treats women like people and also not the target audience of the writer. It's certainly not great that it's the norm but if you're going to express umbrage at people being idiots in general then there's a lot to go around, let's not pretend that being idiots with regards to women and magic have a special relationship or anything.

You're awesome for even offering, LGS is having 2 year anniversary and I need to go support that, also I will be dead from sealed. That's a shame dude, I was looking forward to playing a few games and arguing about boxing. Another time maybe!

My FNMs are in a literal anime merchandise store, and we don't get anyone near as goony as what you motherfuckers describe. gently caress, the "creepiest" person in the group is probably the girlfriend of one of our regulars who freely admits to writing slash fanfiction and manages to pull at least 2 mythics every time she drafts with us.

While this might even be true, if a stranger harasses me I can just walk away. If we still have to play two more games this round, that's a very different atmosphere from a stray catcall or even creep on a bus. Also this doesn't mean that magic players shouldn't be less misogynist, everyone should be less misogynist
