Son, have you ever worked in customer service. Just because one customer is a brat, you don't get to go back and harass the rest of your customers because of it.

I think you missed my point: What Deej said in the weekly update is not the definition of harassment to anyone over the age of 13. If someone is that easily offended then these forums are not the place for you.

Edited by Sparkinate: 11/6/2015 6:30:42 PMWell that seems like a generalization, and I think you'll find (as this thread clearly proves) that plenty of people thought it was a little more offensive than you did( edit: , regardless of how reasonable those emotions may have been.) Regardless of whether or not me and you find out insulting, it's a little more important whether your community find it insulting. Clearly there is a significant amount of the community who did think it was insulting. Deej's one job is as a liason to the community. There is no argument that this weekly update could have avoided all of this drama with a simple edit.

Edited by bobswerski: 11/6/2015 6:12:19 PMI suppose we will have to agree to disagree, including on whether or not this thread "proves" that reasonable people should be offended by the update in the context of all the nonsense that goes on around here on a daily bases. (edit: or honestly not in that context either)

It doesn't matter whether or not the butthurt is reasonable. His job as a public relations liason is to try to make as little butthurt as possible. He failed. And the mistake is starting us in the face in the weekly update. Period.

I'm sorry but i live in a democracy and its vital that there is a diverse amount of opinion. Well reasoned or not, it's this diversity of opinion that keeps things honest and promotes forward thinking discussions.

Edited by bobswerski: 11/6/2015 7:42:20 PMWell reasoned and reasonable are not the same thing, and a right to voice your opinion is not and should not be a guarantee that your opinion must be given the same weight or merit as another. Not all opinions are valid... Would you let a 9 year old decide how to spend the family budget? Do you let that crazy cat lady who lives down the street make laws? Do you let Donald trump... Ok let's skip that one. The point is, opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one and most of them stink.
