DoctorMagnustein	I think you guys might have missed the point on this, but I'm pretty sure no one cares what I think about it
	thomas	DoctorMagnustein, explain
	DoctorMagnustein	For the record, I agree with every point that was made.
	DoctorMagnustein	I say that now, because I don't want to have people jump down my throat in a moment.
	DoctorMagnustein	But, that being said, just because you're on the right side of an argument, and are completely in the right...doesn't give you the right to be an ass.

	Roxie	I wasn't being an ass
	DoctorMagnustein	At the end of the day, if you want people to listen to your side, it doesn't help anyway.  When people feel confronted/challenged, they're not really gonna listen.
	DoctorMagnustein	Personal attacks, being all caps yelled at, being cursed at...not really effective argument tools, and are explicitely against the rules of the channel.
	DoctorMagnustein	Is that fun to deal with when emotions are high, and people feel cornered/slighted/offended?  No.  Is it the rules we agreed to?  Yes.

	thomas	okay but the conversation didn't start because we went 'let's educate some people about diversity in games'
	DoctorMagnustein	I agree with you.
	[INFO]	2 matches for “Do”: [DoctorMagnustein, Dora]
	DoctorMagnustein	But it's not about the message, it's about the method. At least, that's what the 05 thread details.
	Roxie	DoctorMagnustein: The rules can be wrong
	DoctorMagnustein	It's the same reason that when I got in to an argument with Roxie, and was being screamed at, cursed at, and personally attacked...I stopped having the argument.  Because had I continued, I would have been breaking the rules.
	Roxie	DoctorMagnustein: You personally attacked me in that fucking debate you prick
	DrYucatan	qué pasó?
	Roxie	You said I was selfish for being altruistic
	Roxie	Fuck off.
	Roxie	Don't you dare mention that ever again. How goddamn dare you?
	DoctorMagnustein	I knew that I couldn't have calm discussions with someone who would immediately respond with inflammatory responses, and did what I should have done from the start: ignored them.
	DoctorMagnustein	DrYucatan: Discussing the recent ban.  I was giving my two cents.
	DrYucatan	which recent ban?
	Roxie	Can somebody tell DoctorMagnustein to stop talking shit aobut me because I am right here.
	thomas	not to be rude but if you knew that then why bother even trying to have this conversation
	DoctorMagnustein	thomas: Because the topic of conversation seemed to be not really aligned with the reasoning that silber had.
	thomas	honestly I'm not sure where you addressed that reasoning
	DrYucatan	will someone tell me what happened?
	thomas	if the reasoning was "roxie was using caps and yelling" then I guess it showed up obliquely?
	thomas	but
	DoctorMagnustein	I suppose that's true.
	thomas	to me it looked like you just sorta started prosetylyzing about How To Be Enlightened And The Bigger Person
	DoctorMagnustein	Alright, lemme be succinct then: You can be right ,and still get b& for repeatedly breaking the rules. I was trying to get across why the rules were broken, and probably strayed too far in to venting.

	thomas	much better thanks
	DragonM372	I return
	Roxie	Yeah can somebody tell DoctorMagnustein that if they're going to block me, I'd rather that they didn't come into ethcom to talk about why I have been punished? It's incredibly petty.
	thomas	http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2013/08/gerrymandering_jigsaw_puzzle_game_put_the_congressional_districts_back_together.html completely unrelated
	thomas	this is a good and fun game
	DrYucatan	did Magnustein put you on ignore?
	DoctorMagnustein	thomas: man, fucking gerrymandering.  Florida looks like a quilt at this point.
	thomas	"Yeah can somebody tell DoctorMagnustein that if they're going to block me, I'd rather that they didn't come into ethcom to talk about why I have been punished? It's incredibly petty."
	DoctorMagnustein	And Indiana's the same way, and getting worse.
	DrYucatan	did DoctorMagnustein block me?
	DrYucatan	>_>
	DoctorMagnustein	I did, and frankly, no thanks.
	DoctorMagnustein	If everyone'd rather I leave, sure.
	DragonM372	DoctorMagnustein: No you're fun ;-;
	DoctorMagnustein	But I don't feel like watching f bombs scroll across my screen.
	thomas	I'm just ferrying messages from other people here
	DrYucatan	wait, DoctorMagnustein, why'd you block me?
	thomas	I have no actual opinions on anything at all
	DrYucatan	what did I do to you ;-;
	DoctorMagnustein	DrYucatan: I didn't
	DrYucatan	oh
	thomas	except that I want things to not exist
	DoctorMagnustein	thomas: ....like, everything?
	thomas	preferably
	DoctorMagnustein	Dang.
	Roxie	Tell DoctorMagnustein that I'm not having issues with them being here, just about talking shit about me, right in front of me.

	DoctorMagnustein	Right, I'm not playing this proxy game thing.  Kind of defeats the purpose of ignoring someone.  I'm still in 19
