I also despite the idea that everyone takes a criticism personally, when a lot of times its about calling people in. Growing and learning together etc. All I'm saying is that if someone thinks they're being attacked and taking their ball adn go home because someone has a slightly different perspective they're not the ally they think they are.
We all live in the shades of grey, and I think we need to comfortable with that.
Edit: I'm just so tired.

I kinda hear you, but I just don't think it's useful to parse and criticize off-the-cuff responses, especially when the speaker's heart is clearly in the right place.
Let's not make perfect the enemy of good. As much as we are all clamouring for a bunch of players to defy this ban, I guess we need to add inappropriately 'centering' themselves in the conversation to the many considerations and reasons to not do it.
I don't meant to be snarky here, but are there any guidelines for when/why/how I should or should not be supportive as an 'ally' (for lack of a better word)?
