Questions for Callaway

[Calandale]

I have no problem with anyone here, but nor do I understand why other members have such a problem with Cal.

You'd have no problems with being compared to various dictators or called a nazi? I guess we're all different.

Oh, come on. You KNOW that I'm prone to hyperbole.
I'm NOT insinuating that you want to kill off people here.
(well - maybe me  )

Just that you are being a petty tyrant about certain issues.

[Calandale]

By hounded, I mean the pack mentality. By away,
I mean told to GTFO. Both have applied to me.
Both applied to Lit. Both applied to Scrap.

You have accused both me and Callaway for driving them away, directly. No pack mentality; you accused us.

You? I don't think so. I'm not even sure Callaway intended,
but when she gets roused for a fight, the minions all come
yipping after her target. You've been a good minion, with your
'please go away' attitude.

I've been called draconian many times!     Wasn't he a bad guy, too??

Seriously, of course it would depend on the context.  But I don't know that I would take such comparisons seriously coming from someone like Cal.  He's pretty dramatic, by his own admission.   

AND, there is the point that I too have been accused of
such. 'Cramming rules down people's throats'. It's all a matter
of perception. Why is it ok for a large group to make such accusations,
but NOT for the lone wolf?

[Calandale]

Enter Key of the Tarsier Elite

wasn't me. maybe renaeden's little joke? just a guess; I remember she called GA 'backspace key of the aspie elite' 

Perhaps.

Because lone wolves tend to bother people, for some reason.  Try being a female one.

I'd rather just swoop down on them.

I can ignore it to an extent. You went beyond that. Did you really think that YOU get to define when enough is enough?

As far as what I'm allowed to say here,
yes. I'm not in any position of authority,
thus my words (so long as I'm not making
some sort of illegal threat) are pretty much
harmless.

You get to decide when I can no longer simply ignore you calling me a nazi? Cool, I didn't know that it wasn't up to me.

No. I get to define when I'm tired of calling you one.
When enough is enough. You can throw your hissy
fits whenever you like, so long as it's clear that your
not making some official proclamation about what is
and isn't acceptable here.

I don't, as long as it's not about site security or such, but then I expect you to listen.

How is the existence of an election about site security?

[Pyraxis]

That women who like [narcissists] are isolated (in a bad way).
That women only tolerate [narcissists] because they can't get any better, not because they genuinely like some of [their] qualities.
That a woman who has few/no female friends is isolated, and doesn't simply prefer males.
That homelessness implies a personal deficiency.

What mores does it reinforce?

The ones I stated above. But it only reinforces any if the majority of people reading it get the same message. I was fairly sure they would, but your reading leads me to wonder otherwise.
