    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    I explicitly said that there are people out there who'd want to get rid of the Sietch. The thing is... Well, remember when I commented on the Zizek/Peterson debate? One of the good points Zizek made was that a claim made for ideological reasons can be pathological even if it is in fact true...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    I've pretty much said my piece in this topic and don't think I need to say any more. I feel that I have adequately made my point and supported it with consistent evidence. I did not, for instance, "call people Nazis without evidence" - I once said that you 'look like Nazis' and then clearly...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    To what I've said in private, I believe I have generally maintained that that post is a true representation of my feelings. Maybe I was slightly meaner than I had to be, or I could have more decisively said that I didn't personally see egregious racism or bigotry, but that's at most a minor...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    I admit that I use the term somewhat casually - recalling that in context Zoe/PCG's post was not "I'm a Nazi" but "I'm an Italian/Austrian Fascist, who were anti-Nazi" - but I do stand by the implication. That is to say, the reason people think this community is alt-right, far-right, fascist...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    I don't. I assure you that I am quite comfortable and welcome, and the SB staff are fully aware of my presence and participation in this thread. The SB staff know what I say and do on the Sietch. I tell them - I believe in transparency and responsibility. In posting in this discussion at all I...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    I said nothing about the social justice left. There are other people out there who you might want to appeal to, though. To be fair, the majority of the Sietch's staff have years of staff experience on SpaceBattles. I would very much hope that they would share that experience in order to help...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    The SB mega-PM had enough members to beat any SB spin-off after SV and QQ. To be blunt, this isn't an attitude that will help you or your site in the long run. Optics do matter, especially when you're trying to promote the free exchange of ideas... while simultaneously struggling with a...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    That's a good question for a lot of us, really. And to be frank, for me - insofar as I'm here at all, and I do feel at least somewhat removed from this community - the answer is 1) continue a few PM conversations with people who've left SB, 2) morbid interest, and 3) um, seeing if I can...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    To be blunt, a big part of the reason you're seen as Nazis is because you, well, act like Nazis. Obviously I don't mean everyone by that, but you have to admit, the owner/administrator outright saying "I'm a fascist", and then posting a site-wide announcement asking people to rally to help her...

    Commentary on the current affairs of The Sietch

    This is a post I will probably regret making, but in this case I feel it's necessary. After all, one of the lessons of the PM scandal on SB was that I ought to be more open and direct in speaking up in times of controversy. Should I have been clearer about how and why I participated in that PM...
