This seemed like a legitimate interaction. Do you know otherwise?

You did not answer my question.

Going on a rant implying that there is somehow a grand conspiracy at foot while also attacking the user personally is not doing you any particular favors, considering you're doing exactly the same thing you're purporting he's doing.

>As in the last time you hijacked a thread as an excuse to complain about other people expressing an opinion you personally disagree with, you haven't discussed, or shown any interest in discussing, a single issue in the article.

>You flag people left right and center, simply because they don't happen share your personal views.

These are personal attacks.

>Remarkable that in both threads two other usernames specifically namecheck you, "IntronExon", the 40 day old account (with ~3000 karma, that posts like a veteran).

This is an allusion to conspiracy.

> These are personal attacks.

No, they're statements about behavior, and no more "personal attacks" than you falsely accusing me of making personal attacks, or of falsely accusing me of "ranting" about a "grand conspiracy at foot".

> This is an allusion to conspiracy.

So it's no longer a "grand conspiracy", just a mere "allusion to conspiracy"?

What's the "conspiracy" you claim I'm alluding to then?

It’s funny you say that because my workplace is EXACTLY the dumpster fire known as Twitter. No, I don’t work there. Rather, all issues of “diversity” are pretty much the same ridiculous identity politics stuff you find on Twitter. The straight, white men at the office regularly post content that is denigrating to those very same groups (usually in the form of pithy memes; it isn’t even intellectual content). I don’t know how common this is in SV or elsewhere, but it’s certainly prevelant where I am now. And I don’t care how someone feels about “cishet white boys”: that kind of thing is not appropriate for work. Ever. At all.

Agreed, I no more want to hear hate from the far Left tham I do from the far Right. Neither side seems to understand that the existence of the other isn’t license to drag people into the mud. Fortunately I think the loud minority is a minority; most conservatives I know aren’t hateful bigots, and most liberals I know aren’t “kill the white men” crazy.

...and frankly work can be stressful enough without crazy in both ears. It’s important to distinguish between hate/crazy and a real and present issue within the workplace though.
