Flaming/Baiting in UN

OOC: No thanks needed, nor wanted. I spend all day with a nearly-nine-year-old girl (my gf's daughter). It fucking sickens me to think that someone could possibly eye her sexually. And yes, Compadria, I am passionate about this issue. For good reason. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I get yet another warning for posting against opponents of this proposal (read: pedophiles). Y'know what, though? If I happen to get banned for going after these asshats who'd fuck little kids, it'd tell me a lot about this site that I currently enjoy so much.

Poster is painting with a broad, ugly brush. Not all, if any, opponents to the resolution at vote are pedophiles. As someone who both opposes (IC obviously) the resolution, opposes real-life molestation, and was molested as a child, I find the slur absolutely obnoxious and over the top.

Actually, no, that's not flaming per se, it's not an attack against anyone judging by that post alone. Yes, Cluichstan should probably, how to say... Lighten up a little, but no, I don't think it's flaming. Over the top, yes. Over emotional, yes.

Flaming/baiting... Probably not.

That would be my call as well.

I personally think flaming is more targetted ... here I just take it as an explaination of why he is so passionately in favour of the resolution. That said, it wouldn't hurt to have Hack do another stupid human trick (perferably not using me this time) to lighten the mood. ;)

I believe I have resolved this issue in private.
