Myxie chimed in saying that some people do think there's a point to it, and backed it up with ratings and PMs. You then start arguing that the opinions of those people are irrelevant, again, implying that there's no point to this discussion. But apparently it has value to the people who rated it up. So the only pointless thing here is your argument.
No. Â I did not say it was pointless. Â That's an outright fabrication. Â Here is what I said:

Â In a game where there is a pretty clear secular outlook on things (with a few notable exceptions, such as the Ishgardians), why does something that only have relevance to a rather personal part of Mi'quote life have such a rather lengthy and thorough thread on the subject which basically revolves around sex?
While I can gather that a good foundation of their culture is partially based on this, I don't quite understand much point of it at all. Â I see this thread for no other race in this forum: only the Mi'quote. Â Why? Â Are us Roegadyn players not good enough? Â Would Lallafel be considered too weird? Â Hyur too mundane and elezen be having too much of the pointy ears?
While some of the conjecture is interesting, I really don't see the point of it.
I said that I could not see the point, not that it did not exist. Â And from that I got opposite spectrums of responses: one which was incredibly insightful and helped me to see the point of the thread and the other chastising me for supposedly making a mandate that suggests everyone believes as such.
I was, in fact, speaking for myself.
I wasn't going to post in this thread after thanking Siobhain for some very interesting and insightful perspective, but when I'm called out like this, that is unacceptable. Â I've only JUST started participating in this community. Â I did not realize such hostility was par for the course.
