I would post the specific quote in the Are female D&D players comfier around male D&D players these days? that I believe crossed the line, but it was deleted along with my reply to it, which I think was the correct move.
I just want to clarify something for the future however.
Can we at least agree that making general statements about men that would sound insulting if we replaced the words man/male with some minority group are inherently political and should be avoided?
I think the fact that we could have easily and heatedly quibbled back and forth for ages on this issue in that thread is evidence that we should discourage it going forward. I take responsibility for politically escalating the exchange, but I felt it should be called out to avoid an embarrassing double standard for the pub.
