I think she deserves all our respect.

i understand she is pm'ing her friends to try and end the thread and to stick up for her in the thread, but she did what she did and the community

thanks robinette ...since the start of this ïsseu i was looking for the right words....just knew the dutch saying : de pot verwijt de ketel dat ie zwart ziet ..so i really thank u for these words i was puzzling aboutRobinette wrote:in a nutshell... some of you need to learn to be a little more tolerant of people who think differently than yourself...
thats one way u can look on it....but wenn she is really that person wo stands for her valeus its a pitty she dont even put a remark here , and also i miss an explanation why she prefers woman be looked upon like "rubber play dolls " instead of a singing lady with a cute smile ...but thats just my way of looking at some things brought up herempjh wrote:I think violet is principled because she is leaving this thread without a response.

First sentence, ok.Robinette wrote:I don't know violet, but after reading all this, i am inclined to want to defend her also...

Indeed, that was it. I've run a few tourneys during the past 6 months. Have a few players on my foe list for various reasons. In one case, one of them was signed up. I accepted of course, I don't think my own personal foe list is an excuse to deny entry to a tourney run with TO privileges. Would be different of course if the foed player had messed with a tourney in the past or could be reasonable expected to mess with the one signed up for.nagerous wrote:I think alstergren is questioning whether you've fallen out big time with another user on this site but you know the player on the most part to be an honourable player and he hasn't tried to sign up to the tournament to mess with it do you still have the right to not let him join?

No I don't know where it comes, therefore it doesn't affect me. Is it something bad?mpjh wrote:Really, red, then you obviously don't know where the second one comes from originally.
elaborate?mpjh wrote:yes
doesn't matter where it comes from, it is not against CC's avatar rules and as i said before it has stood up in the C&A forum. if there were a nipple showing, he would be violating the rules and his avatar would be offensive. if you have to take an avatar's complete context to deem it offensive, a context which if it exists i doubt many would even know, you are stretching. i seriously doubt Violet took the avatars context as a reason to toss the OP out of her tourney... nice try...-the black jesusmpjh wrote:Really, red, then you obviously don't know where the second one comes from originally.

serious ...u also say a lot without even realizing u say nothing at all...how do u call it ....even wenn u got proof thrown for ur feet u just ignore this?mpjh wrote:I think that is a false equivalency. Violet was defending dignity, trying to advance the principle of respect. That is a form of intolerance, but one that is not comparable to the intolerance of racism or sexism which is designed to embarrass, degrade, or ridicule.

pascalleke's avatar (denied entrance to VioIet's tourney)
Which is more offensive to me?
That would be: the top one. The top one. It's just wrong.
Would either of those have been a reason to stop someone from being in one of my tournaments? No.
I don't get this. Most tournaments should have the whole 'foes must be removed for this tourney' rule anyway. So a TO can say none of their foes are allowed to participate in a tourney? That rules out my friend jefjef from ever running a tourney.
Hmm I guess this whole situation doesn't make sense to me. I'd just let it go for the current situation and maybe bring up a different discussion about TOs and how much liberty they have to choose the rules for their tourney, etc.
As far as the discussion about VioIet's tourney, let's just bury it and let it go. Nothing is going to change there. But a discussion about if we should allow these types of things should be brought up, definitely.

She is using her own free time to run a tournament for the community. She didn't want you to join because she was offended by your avatar. She was then told she couldn't do this. I think you should be grateful she is still running the tournament.pascalleke wrote:do we live in a dictatorship?sdh wrote:Can this thread please be locked, the matter has been dealt with.
