Questions for Callaway

Is it as serious as a death?

Of course not.  That's a straw man and irrelevant to what Callaway is saying.  Honestly, I can't even tell what the issue is here.  You changed a post and she changed it back and that pisses you off?

Huh? How is it irrelevat? SHE is the one who brought sophie up, not me. She was equating someone mocking her death with someone mocking dunc's post about leaving.

How the hell is it irrelevant?  Callaway brought up the death of Sophie herself in the first place and compared someone editing Soph's post about Sophie, to what Soph did with Dunc's post.

Whoa    Almost like a single mind over there. 

My point is that the severity doesn't have to be equal for her analogy to make sense.  I think most people would agree.  Again, this is the internet and people can't go around with score-cards to determine which analogies are acceptable based on a point scale.  An analogy is a device for helping someone understand a point by putting it in overly-simplistic terms, it doesn't have to be perfect to convey a point.

[Adam]

I still don't see how her analogy works. Mocking a death is completely different to mocking someone leaving a forum

[Binty]

Not to mention, why bring up something that is a sensitive issue for Soph?

Callaway said that it's the only thing that Soph takes seriously, so naturally her analogy is that Dunc's leaving post should be treated equally seriously, which is laughable.

The fact that the example I chose for you was about Sophie was because that's one of the few subjects you take seriously and so you could understand that such a change would be intrusive.

You still don't get it, do you?

It is NOT - THE - SAME

It's a communicative device.

And what does it communicate to me?

I think that you are the one not getting it.  It's not meant to be exactly the same.  It's an analogy to help you understand that changing someone else's serious post for laughs is intrusive.

I think you two are not getting what a serious post consists of.

Yeah, I get THAT. I just don't think it shows that at all. If you used an example where someone was changing a post I'd made which was similar to Dunc's, then yes, that would show me whether it's intrusive or not. Using the example of a post about a friend who's died is obviously gonna have an entirely different affect. I wouldn't give a shit if someone edited a serious post which was about "serious" internet stuff. Someone dying though, that's not just a "serious post", is it?

Do you think you would feel the same if someone edited a post you made bout I2 as you would if they edited a post you made about your daughter's problems?

This ^

A "serious post" about an internet forum is not in the same category as a serious post about a death ffs. You need a better analogy, Callaway

[Osensitive1]

Have always understood guest posting and editing of the past was only allowed in the Free for All sub-forum. It that correct?
