Not so far ago, in thread "Doom community happenings" I linked Impie's blog where he replies to criticism in regards to his mod's content on his own blog.
I have now sent a reply to anon's post on Mike's Toybox Blog (Impie) in thread. The wordpress initially said it awaits moderation, and that notification did stay there for a few refreshes. But then it was gone.
It seems it didn't pass the moderation somehow, or maybe messages in moderation queue don't stand visible indefinitely?
So as not to pollute "Doom community happenings" with more offtopic, I am putting this in a new thread. In case my case doesn't get approved (I don't know who is the one responsible for approving it, Impie or wordpress moderation), here is its contents:
So, the poster “Anon” would have us believe that:
1. calling a coward a coward is a privilege that only people espousing the right kind of views are entitled to
2. fascism is a logical conclusion of capitalism and conservatism
3. social media can compel a person to divulge everything about themselves, there is no right to privacy
4. if one is making mods containing certain political views, they are doing it to prove their badassery and not for some other reason
Sorry, but can’t agree with any of those statements. Now there were certainly some suspicions that DID get confirmed in this thread, and that is that you, a person who put “Anon” as his nickname, are considering capitalism an evil thing that must be fought with no holds barred approach and that you don’t consider people supporting capitalism as having the same right to have political views as you. That is, you are not being impartial and reasonable as you tried to present yourself, but rather oppose anti-lockdown and anti-riot statements because of your political views.
I would argue that having an anti-riot position is totally sensible, who the fuck wants to have chaos around where random bystanders can be injured or killed, whereas both pro-lockdown and anti-lockdown positions are within the norm. For some people lockdown can be a greater threat to health than a virus is, because lockdown can impact mental health and therefore immunity as well as push some people to try commit suicide – don’t underestimate the fact that some people are very vulnerable to social isolation. It also can and did result in couples divorced, domestic violence etc. you would think people would understand that the conflicts between them are driven by how social isolation impacted them and thus would try to preserve close relationships at all cost, but the reality is otherwise.
And mikemacdee is correct in calling you a coward, because you make insults while hiding behind anonimity.
