The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.

To be honest, I'm beginning to think even the whole "equal footing" thing I was talking about doesn't really work. People are still jockeying for the attention and adulation you get for saying "right" opinions there, it's just usually tied to one thread than an entire posting history. Maybe I've just got an idealized concept of what I want anonymous posting to be.

Most people who think it's a good idea do.

I think it's possible to discuss these things a bit seriously but also with jokes. Jokes are what makes the mind numbing tedium of yet another dissection of the MRA /pol/ack channer cishet bugaboo mind bearable. Don't take me wrong, these people are frequently a loving pain and occasionally a menace to some folks but there's no reason to circle the wagons and get all huffy because a bunch of gibbis/fyad goonsters are cracking jokes in the thread.

Not that the great closing of the ranks has actually happened here yet mind you. Surprising lack of salt from the D&D oldboys, most of it coming from the "other side", whatever that is. The side of people uncomfortable with taking a closer look at nerddom's genital warts or w/e? We need Ruddha in here I think.

It's always kind of entertaining watching the "lol I don't care, stop being so serious" sorts get really, really worked up about being talked about.
