Freitas, while I don't share Haus's feelings regarding your speculations - I quite enjoyed 'em - I think Haus had every right to be angry. I was angry, and not a little disappointed when I stumbled across your dismissive hand waving. Regardless of whether you enjoy discussing the political undertones of a creator's work, you should understand that such discussions have value - perhaps, in the grand scheme of things, considerably more value than the identity of the Black Glove. In addition, Haus's point about politeness is bang on the money. It's just fucking rude to dismiss what are quite clearly the thoughtful contributions of a sizeable number of people.
Finally, Haus doesn't have issues, he's using the only tool available to him, as a non-mod, in instances like this - he's using strong language. He's trying to make you feel uncomfortable, he's trying to get you to stop short and think about what you've said, he's trying to uphold a culture which doesn't just dismiss the kind of discussion that we've been having here. He's doing it passionately, yeah, he's being severe, yeah, but these are just the kind of issues that demand passionate and severe defence. Unlike the comings and goings of batvillains, which while endlessly fascinating to me, aren't really that important. |
