Rules for the R'lyeh Forum
May 15, 2013 at 9:20 am
(This post was last modified: May 15, 2013 at 9:25 am by Love.)
As regards the R'lyeh forum, the subheading states: "A sunken forum where people may continue heated, controversial threads, or start new ones in a relaxed rule atmosphere." I would like to respectfully suggest that you tighten up the rules for this particular forum, so that people like catfish are prohibited from flaming and trolling in extremely sensitive topics of discussion (such as serious health conditions, for example). Catfish acted extremely inappropriately and ultimately got away with murder in the "Mental disorders and supposed "crybabyism" thread. In this instance, it appears as though the rules were not just relaxed, but rather completely nonexistent. I hope it does not happen again.

Didn't you try to deflect some argument along the lines of "well, you have npd" not too far back?
I don't know, the pot seems to be calling the kettle black, and then asking for a rule change.
Maybe don't post in R'lyeh or something....  I mean, I think R'yleh is great - though I don't spend enough time there.

In a completely different ballpark. I mentioned that you were coming across as condescending, (ETA) and I inferred that it might be as a result of you suffering from NPD. That is not the same as trolling and insulting people with mental health problems.

Yes, perhaps that is the best solution.

Sorry, I disagree. If you claim someone is narcissistic based on a limited amount of posts, or any amount of posts, not taking into account their real life behaviors, you're being an ass.

I disagree with our disagreement. 
I did not claim that he is narcissistic without having any knowledge of his background; you've misinterpreted what I have written (or maybe I did not convey it correctly). I was already aware that he suffers from narcissistic personality disorder, and I inferred that the condescension might be a symptom of it (which it can be).

It was my error to split that thread from the HoS into R'lyeh, given the nature of the subject. Like CD said, hindsight is 20/20. Thread closed now, best thing I could've done to ameliorate my error.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
