This is not a dishonest debating tactic and you are defending the idea that people with inhibition problems that threaten others need accomodations in the form of never being called out
Imagine we stopped using “mad” because some people have anger issues.
Imagine we stopped using “nonce” because, some people are pediphiles.
Imagine we stopped using “narcissist” because some people are narcissists.
Doesn’t make any sense. They’re pejorative for a reason. These are abusive tendencies towards others.
I’m going to leave it there cos I’m sleepy. The one concession I’ll grant you is that you may have become a little confused since a number of us are using the same profile picture.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that at some point in this thread you may have gotten me mixed up with another user. Please re-read the thread again and pay attention to the usernames if that is the case.

And there it is. I said nothing of the sort. Read my comments again. I never discussed any pathology at all.
Literally right after I call you out for saying you would try to paint one of us as defending a group category [people with inhibition problems] you go ahead and do just that.
I think the issue here is that Magicker is medicalizing bad behavior. They’re not saying someone behaved badly, they’re saying someone has a medical condition that makes them inherently evil and untrustworthy. You can say someone is being selfish, or lying, or being unreasonable, or whatever, without diagnosing them.
totes fair, i was thinking it through myself and trying to explain it is one of the ways I do that. i had to go hunting around to find that the term has always been medical.
I hope you understand why I’m treating you with mistrust. Saying that these posts are being shared with chans means that the audience is much wider than just us here, and I don’t assume that things are being written or read charitably.

How does not calling out negative behaviors help people who are themselves trying to limit them
I’m not sure, to be honest. I’ve got lots to learn in that regard. I am not OP, btw, I made another comment about that.

Ty Frank. I imagine if I’d thought on it longer I would have worked something out, but it was past midnight and I was tired.

OP is deliberately misrepresenting what’s going on haha, whatever it’s not important. You have a good one
