And apparently, also when you think that ‘They’ is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.

EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you’re leaving.

    lol. There’s someone getting banned for standing up to a pedophile and here you are whining about someone having a preferred way to be called.

          Hilarious! I’d love for you to point out the exact part where I said or did anything remotely trollish, how it hurt you in detail, and then point out the part where I whined, and please- use the dictionary definition.

              I think you need to reexamine the definition of the term “whining.”

              Here let me help:

              Now, using the example in the definition above, please show the class, exactly what in my comment resembles anything written therein.

              And fee free to quote the part that you happen to be misinterpreting as whining.

              Because kiddo… I’m laughing my ass off here.

                This just in: terms have colloquial meanings that dictionaries like Oxford don’t always keep up with. It only makes you look kinda dumb to pretend those don’t exist :)

                  I don’t think I’m looking very dumb here. Maybe you’re using the wrong dictionary to define the term?

        An entire community was just banned from an instance because its only mod (and member) was posting a bunch of pedo rethoric and banning anyone who disagreed. A post about it was made in this community a little bit earlier than this post and I found the contrast very funny.
