[QUOTE]Originally posted by Marvin the Martian: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jamat: [qb]If you are going to allow thinly disguised attacks in Purgatory and revolting personal slurs in Hell which are slanderous and evil but hidden behind avatars, you are allowing personal hurt and violence (which is no less violent because it is verbal) that it is in fact your responsibility as admins to try and prevent.[/qb][/QUOTE]Do you also consider it our responsibility to prevent the sort of personal hurt and violence that comes from posters stating that certain types of people are Hellbound, subhuman, and shouldn't be allowed the same rights as everyone else? [QUOTE][qb]Instead, now, over the years, you are, with current hosting policy, allowing and even at times encouraging the worst aspects of human nature wth its nastiness, contempt and anger, to be expressed.[/qb][/QUOTE]We recognise that such things [i]are[/i] part of human nature, and that repressing them can be worse in the long run than allowing them to be expressed. [QUOTE][qb]I would personally like to see this change so that a wider cross section of opinions are once more encouraged and that discussion is less dominated by the few aggressive voices we mostly presently hear.[/qb][/QUOTE]Very few opinions indeed are officially discouraged here, and long may that last. However, that also includes the opinions of those who think that what someone else has posted is a pile of foetid dingo kidneys. We're certainly not going to provide a space where controversial or widely offensive views can be aired without those who disagree or are offended having the ability to respond. On this site as in the "real world", if you want to say offensive stuff then you have to be accept that other people will want to tell you it's offensive. [/QB][/QUOTE]
