Word count has absolutely nothing to do with intent.
We've been debating this at pretty much the same length of any other subject, including RPG related discussions. And again, word count and the length of a discussion have nothing whatsoever to do with anything.
Where is this vehemency you...
Things I've been doing since the lockdown:
Watching a shit-ton of anime.
Preparing for a Scarlet Heroes campaign.
I mapped out the whole fucking Westmark using Hex Kit.
Taking a hard look at Labyrinth Lord.
Watching even more anime.
Reading. Lots and lots of reading.
Doing a lot of...
I'm actually glad it's getting some play. Contrary to what some might assume, I have no problem with that cause getting monetary support.
Again, once again, like for the umpteenth time, it's not about the goddamn bundle or who it supports; It's about political fundraising on on a no-politics...
@The Butcher
You seem to be under the impression that Dumarest, myself, and others who've argued against fundraising for political groups on the Pub, are acting from some political acrimony. This is not the case, as can be demonstrated by actually reading anything any of us have written on this...
In what way, Butcher?
A perfectly fair argument.
Or you're misunderstanding the point that's trying to be made, due to your own biases. No one here is strident, except you, just now.
@Bunch
I've rested my case on this topic, as I've said everything that I need to say. My answers to the issues you've raised above can be found in my earlier posts.
I'm content to wait for the mods to hash it out, and wait for Baudertones' reply to my inquiry.
EDIT: edited for clarlity
I'm the same. I enjoy discussing politics. My problem is, like you, my politics exist outside the Right / Left political divide. I share common cause with both sides, and because of that, I'm accepted by neither.
Bauderstone, I ask that you review the recent comments I've made on this. Nowhere have I said or suggested you and the rest of the staff are required to police bundles.
Also, could you please clarify if this comment is directed at me:
Because that's not the place where I'm coming from.
@CRKrueger
As you and several people have pointed out, the lines are blurry when it comes to charities vs. political groups, as all political groups receive donations, and some charities cross into the area of the political.
I'm fine with that; I'm happy to color outside the lines.
But this...
To a large extent, yes. BLM is obvious, as the OP suggested when he put it up. Nowhere have I said the mods need to go into the details of every bundle.
@CRKrueger
No, I'm not suggesting that the mods check each bundle to see the beneficiary. I assume some people missed it when I said this:
The idea that the mods need to check every bundle is not my idea: it's yours, and it's being used as a counter argument that doesn't even address the...
There's no school here and no theme. We're either a no political site or we're not. If we're linking to activist groups, political groups, etc. then we've abandoned the no politics commitment. As as a result, I can post whatever the fuck I want, and the mods can screw right off, because any...
We are running a donation drive this month to help offset the costs of running the Pub and to avoid running intrusive ads in the future. If you would like to help out please visit this thread for more details. Thank you!
