[r] Flaming in Abortion Thread

[Godular]

Again, being dismissive and disparaging doesn't change anything. You can insult women until you're blue in the face, that won't make them want an abortion any less.

No but the states can make it very hard to get one. Like they did in South Dakota, Texas, and Utah.

Get stick bugged lol.

That ain't kosher...

[Godular]

Which does not solve the problem of an unwanted pregnancy. You're functionally saying something similar to 'she should just let the rapist finish! It's just a short-term inconvenience!'.



'promiscuous women'

'don't be promiscuous'

If you don't think that's shaming women, that's pretty shameful.

How long did it take you to put this together?

Incorporating this as well for flamebait. The reformatting for legibility is mine, their response was within the quote of the post they were responding to.

Its not flamebait its a legitimate question.

It was a snipe that did nothing to address my point. That said, I'll let the mods decide whether it's worthy of action.

Addressed.

[Godular]

Much appreciated! A basket of sugar-cookies has been left in tribute.

See, your not allowed to have opinions on this site, or the mods will attack you.

[South Americanastan]

YOU brought the mods into this. So YOU can shut up.

I don't think this is kosher either.

IF people are now getting offended by shut up, well.

It is not whether we are 'offended'. It is whether you have violated the rules.

You could have 'stated your opinion' without telling another poster to 'get fucked' or some facsimile thereof.

Thats not what stick bugged means. ITs basically a rickroll.

It is unreasonable to expect the moderation team or any other posters to have the entire urban dictionary memorized. Whether it's an attempt at a rick-roll (which does not necessarily preclude it from being a euphemism for sodomy, which is what it looked like to me) or something else does not address the fact that its inclusion in the post was unnecessarily provocative.

If you don't like our rules, you're free to scramble your password, log out, and never come back.

"But it's my opinion" and "it's just a meme bro" and "I demand that people put up with whatever offensive thing I say" never were and never will be acceptable defenses here.

Unless you want to appeal your ruling and have a second opinion from another Mod, stop spamming this thread.

Look, I understand your just doing your job here, and I read the rules, but my point is "Was it really a rule violation."

I'm treating this as a "yes" to requesting a second opinion. Signal flair up.

I am treating this as your appeal: The warning stands.

• Yes, "get stick bugged" is a reference to a version of the Rick Roll with a video of a stick insect vice Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.
• Yes, it can also be taken as a euphemism for having a stick shoved up where the sun doesn't shine when one takes "bugging" as a euphemism for "buggering."
• No, in context the posts that led to your warning came out as a potshot that lacked any semblance of good faith aimed at the participants of the discussion re. abortion, which in a thread concerning a topic such as this is something which is sorely needed.
