@Kanye-Qwest said in RL Anger:
Here's the thing: when you join a discussion about an issue that affects people who are not you, and you start policing tone instead of addressing the actual points people make * * * it makes it look like you are just here to get a consensus that YOU personally are ok, and not at fault, so that you can go back to not thinking about the plight of others.
This is what it looks like to you, and perhaps others; however, I would not fault someone for not wanting to engage with people that will so readily jump to conclusions, no matter how understandable their reaction might be.
If there is to be meaningful communication -- that is, if meaningful communication is desired -- then there has to be an effort to make sure the other side understands the message conveyed. This isn't to say that one must communicate with everyone upon inquiry, or that not communicating is unreasonable due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter.
What I'm seeing: two camps of intelligent, insightful, and highly-communicative people trying to get from one another something which neither want to give at this time. Perhaps it would be best to cool everything out in the public forums for a few weeks.
I fully realize the irony of my statements.
