If I may, I would like to say a few words. Precious few, because I am lying in bed with a badly broken arm pecking away at this with one hand.
I would like to preface this by saying it is not a recrimination against any
particular individual here on KF, or elsewhere.
Except for Preston, two cows, and two off-site pedo faggots; by necessity, and for reasons which will become abundantly obvious as you read this.

To my mind, the above image perfectly encapsulates the type of rank tribalism that has made Comicsgate unpleasant to talk about. Nor is this phenomenon limited to just debates about Comicsgate. It's prevalent in a lot of different places on the Internet.
To my mind, BOTH the "woman" swinging the hammer, AND the owner of the mailbox being destroyed, are certifiable cows. To wit, they both have threads on KF (both in the WW subforum, IIRC). They both strike me as unpleasant people.
To my mind, BOTH Slick Jimmy (ex-Comicsgate) and John Lamont (ostensibly anti-CG, by virtue of his association with Preston) should BOTH be placed up against the nearest wall and shot. Who cares if CG or anti-CG come out ahead. Human decently dictates that they should
both lose.
To my mind, being largely ambivalent about
@FROG is a perfectly valid choice. Perhaps even the most prudent one. I have been simultaneously told that I should either suck Ethan's dick, or rabidly castigate him as the Great Satan. Finding both of these options to be exceeding homosexual in nature, I indignantly chose to do
neither.
And speaking of gay: To my mind,
cliques are gay, I have had my fill of them, and people should laugh at stupid shit regardless of where it originates from, and the bad actors who perpetuate bad acts. I have come to believe that discussions of this nature should be "act centered," and not ideology or group centered.
Is this moral fagging? Yes... but no. The "but no" stems from the fact that while everything I said could certainly be distilled into a useful moral imperative, it also (quite fortuitously) happens to be KF policy. Everybody here has equal opportunity to be called a stupid faggot. Nobody is above criticism. Both white knighting and a-logging is forbidden, and ought to be.
I started this by saying that this missive isn't directed at anyone in particular. I said that because I think (read: hope) MOST people here would grasp what I'm saying, and possibly even agree with it.
But we also
all know "some people" don't. Some people can't. Some people treat these sort of things as if it were a zero sum game. It's not. It rarely is.
I just wanted to get this off my chest. Thank you. Carry on.
