ORIGINAL: Psychonaut23 quote:
Also by participating in a forum a person gives tacit consent to many things including other people replying to their words. That's a dodge. There is no such thing as tacit consent, and I wouldn't run around trying to convince admitted sadists that such a thing exists. Claims of tacit consent are made by people who have done wrong to another without their express consent and are now trying to backpedal. Maybe, but for the purposes of reductionism it doesn't work that way in practice. Verbal 'battery' is a matter of perception and can't be morally supported across the board with any logical foundation. And the only community-specific ethical structure pertinent in cases like this are the ToS of the website containing the events. quote:
ORIGINAL: Psychonaut23 Neither of which actually address the point. You're right, people won't always agree and won't always be nice. Some people are assholes. What's going on here is that first Lockit and now you are trying to defend behavior that makes one an asshole while denying that you are, in fact, assholes. Which is what makes you both passive-aggressive bitches. See how that works? I'm thinking you're approaching this from an analysis of the web-clique-mob phenomenon. Purely on that level, I'd be inclined to agree. Although I think each situation presents different elements or reasonings for what can appear to be said phenomenon. I suppose what would dinstinguish the situation is a retroactive assessment of whether osf's cumulative contributions to the fora merit (to some sensibility) the reactions he receives.
