Who I am is someone that absolutely rejects the idea of accepting people uncritically and without making judgments based on my own experiences and values. I don't accept people for who they are, but for the case they've made for that acceptance.

And I haven't seen you be very accepting of that.

I do accept that. What I don't necessarily accept is the behaviour that can arise from such an identity. You can be whoever you want to be. You cannot, however, do whatever you want to do. That's a very important distinction, and you don't have to accept everything a person does to accept and respect who they are. Actions have consequences; just make sure you're making a clear distinction between acting and merely existing.

This exact line of thinking has been used to tell queers to get back in the closet. This exact line of thinking is behind every reactionary internet post about some movie or video game "shoving "the gay" in everyone's faces" when there's even a hint of something non-cis/het. This is a classic, "I'm all for [blank], but..." where they're fine with it, until it exists in some space they have to inhabit.


Furthermore you can't "accept that" without accepting the real world output of those thought processes, for that behavior is nothing but a reflection of who I am. Not unless we're talking about the most neutral and academic meaning of the word. I don't really think we're on the same page if there's some version of acceptance you're using where the following makes sense, "I accept you as a person, but I'm disgusted by everything you think and do and will take steps to change both or at least get as far from it as I can." (and I'm not saying you are saying this, just making a point).

It's who they are, and accepting people for who they are is absolutely an idea that should be pushed over any alternative.

Okay, I'll bite.

And I haven't seen you be very accepting of that. So I find what you're saying here very interesting, because it's not a lie, strictly speaking. You say the idea damn well should be pushed over any alternatives, and that's what you're doing. Not, for YOU of course, but for everyone else yeah.

Though there are free private servers that you can still play today even on Dreamcast, GCN, and PC if that's what you mean.

Definitely not

I think the reason the original had a fee was because it was the first online console RPG, among other reasons

I don't remember PSO ever having a fee other than the upfront retail cost.

The last couple have been far enough up there that if 2018 starts off anything like 2017, I'm done.

You know the swastika is coming, and it gets you anyway. That's good comedy.

Yeah think I'm just going to write them up and give them a free pass on the suspension.

It's all you can do. Just be sure to note in the write-up that you aren't going easy on them, the lack of suspensions in no way diminishes the infraction.

No, eggs were brought up in the context of potentially making my wraps not vegen. But they didn't contain any.

Hard to say. Lots of bread products with eggs, milk, or butter. In wraps maybe eggs but they might actually be vegan.

Well now I'm curious. You actually encouraged me to check the label: no milk or eggs, and the shortening is vegetable based.

I had a pulled pork and cheese burrito. I'm not even sure the wrap was vegen.
