Or are you talking about Crown getting railed on by 8+ people at once? Of which you were one?
I don't know. I do find it funny that 3-4 of the most common "mob justice" critics were pleased as punch to join in on this one. I think it's just difficult to take you seriously when you're no stranger to personal attacks but wax poetic about "discourse" when it suits you. You practically troll New Era in the American Politics thread at every available opportunity (and he trolls you back, no judgements made here).
Thing is, for all that's said about the internet mob, about personal attacks or discourse or bias or whatever, the majority of you who want to make it an issue lean into it so comfortably when it suits you, that it's just meaningless at this point. I mean I buy Corsi talking about discourse, guy tries constantly to keep it civil, but Azure talking about discourse? Ask him about an electric car and tell me what you think about his level of discourse.
A lot of people rightly disagreed with Crown's approach, but maybe it is sad that the people who pretend to hold up these values that are so important have zero problem dropping them when it suits them. At that point, why are you even bothering to criticise Crown? Who are you pretending for?

Sure I take my shots at lots of people. I also get called on it, which is fine. I'm sure my approach could be a better lots of times, especially on non-political threads.
But I sure haven't gone around launching personal attacks that are based on accusing people of being racist scumbags.
The only criticism I have made in this exchange had to do with what I thought wasn't a well thought out post by Jiri accusing some of having some white fragility going on. But, Jiri probably isn't wrong either. Am I then not allowed to state my opinion on it?
Like I honestly don't get your approach here.
