I'd like to reiterate this. The RtL vs LCN bashing can go here (and also the LCN thread) but the GP vs LCN bashing needs to go in the LCN thread: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=444783

that sucks. imho, in a thread talking about LCN relations where all of LCN's vocal members are commenting, GP discussing LCN doesn't seem very off-topic. plus going to their thread would simply allow them to bask in the attention, in a sense rewarding them for being controversial. :unsure:

They'll get the same amount of attention regardless. It being in a different topic will change nothing.

Unless you post that you don't believe that homosexuality is inherently a sinful belief that if ever acted on constitutes a crime against god similar to adultery, in which case they just remove your ability to post your opinion at all.

Still not as bad as when Roborian went full Hobbes and dropped this beut on their RMB- "Human nature is not intrinsically good, and following nothing but animal instinct means behaving like an animal" in reference to homosexuality.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=39760266 specifically the "My biological impulses would love for me to have all kinds of sex, consensual or not." part

I think no one should discriminate against blacks and gays. and all nations have a right to post their opinions as long as they don't break NS rules.

You carry your ego heavier than Jesus carries his cross, take a breather and relax. It's 2020, 2020 years after the death of Christ. Calm down, chief.

This is totally not the point, and I'm usually loath to post in Gameplay, but AD starts with the birth of Christ, not his death. He supposedly died around 32AD, give or take a couple of years.

I feel as if this case could have been handled so much better if standard guidelines were followed instead. At this point, it is clear that this grew out of proportion and it seems as minimal attempts were made to mediate this disagreement. Taking your disagreements in the public forums hardly proves any point either. If you've done it in order to gather support for a vote you disagree with, well LCN is not the first or the last region that voted in the way they did, you'd have to probably cancel most of your embassies as well.

It's not the right move to flex your egos, because you would never reach any resolution via that. Try to sit down and talk things out about how you see the world and carry on.
