An Open Letter To RWHN

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

ITT: RWHN doesn't know what "tolerance" means.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

ITT: RWHN doesn't know what "tolerance" means.

Sure.  It means "don't disagree with RWHN" and "Put up with RWHN's bad behavior if you do."

[AFK]

My advice is for people to stop attempting to get me to SHUT UP, because they disagree with me. 


Because:


A). It's not ever going to work


and


B). Practice what you preach

[Nephew Twiddleton]

What specifically are you looking for rwhn? By that i mean what are you saying you wont back down and what you want in return?

It's simple.


Tolerance.

Of what? Thats why i said specifically.

Nobody's telling you to shut up because you disagree with them. They're telling you to stop being an asshole about how much you disagree with them all the time. You know, "THAT'S COOL AND I'MMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT YOU'RE WRONG AND HERE'S WHY..." in every. single. thread. And then, you either fail to bring any actual evidence, bring clearly skewed and/or cherrypicked evidence, or refuse out of hand to consider conflicting evidence on account of "it's wrong cause I said so." You base your positions on meaningless things like "I heard of a guy who" and "Well in Maine that's how we roll," and when people call you on this kind of awful behavior, you act like they're calling out your beliefs* for being wrong when really, they're just questioning the road you took to get to them.



*Which is all they really are.

I don't like tolerance anyway. I much prefer the "don't be an asshole" rule.

He knows.  But that isn't the point, is it?

Babboonery, ITT.

Gotta show that bright red ass.  Even if it means abandoning every shred of intellectual honesty you may have left, right?

[Nephew Twiddleton]

The other thing is we want to see more of you not just your job. The problem here is a feedback loop. You know stop being a fish and all that. To take the uniform analogy and the recent joke at your expense the argument is like im wearing a suit. Its ill fitting. But im wearing a suit. Yeah dude and its ill fitting. SUIT. ILL FITTING.
Everyone shutting up about it wouldnt be a bad thing. We know about your suit. You know we think its ill fitting. Youre going to keep wearing the suit. And were going to keep thinking its ill fitting. Why not talk about something else? Why do you have to be indignant about your suit being called ill fitting? If someone else brings up the suit in another thread where youre discussing something different dont be a fish. Just say non sequitur. Stop thread jacking. Its that easy.

Or stop wearing that suit.

Tolerance.

Of what? Thats why i said specifically.

Of someone who has different opinions.

Reality grids, etc

RWHN will not get the point, because RWHN is determined to not get the point.

Now do you mean tolerance of the person or tolerance of the opinion too? What about the basis of the opinion?

In the meantime, settlements in the occupied territories will continue.

Another analogy. 
What roger has done here is to hold an intervention for you. He admits that we have done drugs with you and that you should stop doing drugs. Hell do the same. Your response is to say only if everyone else refuses to sell me drugs. What hes saying is that you should just say no to drugs if someone tries to deal to you.
