I took my punishment for calling out someone for the way the wrote how they treated women and other people in society in general. I have a very low tolerance when people treat others badly, or go after others (ie marginalized communities based on race or sexual orientation) because they fear what they don't understand. It is a character defect of mine that has gotten me in trouble before, but I will always defend anyone against bullies and haters. That being said, I realize we are a community here with a specific purpose and will try to do my best not to call out someone here based on how they treat others, or at least post here how they treat others. It was worth it though. In the meantime my mongering has not stopped and I will post a review later. Monger on.

"every action has an equal and opposite reaction". Newton's Third Law. I don't know the context of your situation, but my general SOP.
Sometimes, it is better to walk away (ignore) rather than adding fuel. The more fuel added, the more attention you give to your offender. This is different from seeing someone actually being bullied on the street and I would applaud you if you intervene. When I said intervene, I mean trying to stop the immediate danger (if you can) and call the police. Here in this forum, if it is so offensive, report them and let the moderators' job to shut them down.
Here, most don't want to hear opinion outside of "AMP REVIEWS". Regarding "marginalized communities", I may consider myself as one and know others that don't want to be defended. Of course, unless there is a "clear and present danger." The more defenders coming out, the same number of offenders push back. What happening that the "victims" will be more offended. Prime time TV start their new seasons now and if any of them starting their stories with what going on the news, they will loose me.
Anyway, I don't mean for my comment here to be a defender or offender. Just ignore the ones that you don't want to hear and they will become irrelevant. If you want to do more, report them. There is a "report" link for every comment. Or volunteer to be a "moderator" if possible. Peace.

I mean, that's not really the way most of the thread went down.
Much like you claim here, I also have a character flaw of calling people out on their bs. And I also don't go over the top and treat these women with anything but respect unless disrespected. HOWEVER, that wasn't the platform you were standing on. You made it all about your flavor of politics, and quite literally spit nothing but disrespect to anybody who might have a difference of opinion.
And THAT is the problem with the discourse. It doesn't matter who you want to punch your ticket for. You sounded like the type of guy who would just slam somebody who didn't punch the ticket for YOUR guy. The threads still out there floating around for anybody who would care to see it. So please, let's not pretend you were just riding in on your high horse to the rescue of helpless victims here. You were just as much an aggressor.
Now, hopefully, you turned over a new leaf and actually want to improve the experience going forward. At the end of the day, this really isn't the platform to be defending the world from bullies anyway. All those guys we love to hate on all those stages, participate in the exact hobby that this forum is here to discuss. So when you go off on a rant on those guys and anybody who supports them, just remember, we have probably got a lot more in common with them than any of us would like to admit. Lol
