If I may. I think the issue that is causing actual conflict here is the way that people our phrasing their opinions just a tad. Everyone is absolutely free to do as the wish as far as RP goes. Inclusion or exclusion of an individual, and to what degree, is absolutely a personal choice. No real way to argue or debate that point. However, putting things in a snide or outright exclusionary tone is really not going to help anything. Statements that say pretty much flat out "If you do not conform to what I think is correct, I will just have you not exist," are not helpful. They are pretty much just come off sounding like absolute dick levels of exclusion. You are not stating you opinion at that point, at least, not entirely. You are stating your opinion in a fashion that is pretty much meant to make someone feel like crap for not conforming to how you see things.Â
I mean, you are free to do that if you like. I am just advising that maybe you should realize you are coming off as just as stubborn, inflexible, and (to be completely frank) the mean/dick form of elitist. No civil discussion is ever going to be had on any subject if that is how people are going to continue to come across. Try to keep an open mind, or maybe just make less absolute statements. Only Sith deal in those, and those guys are dicks. No one here is the final arbiter of what is right or wrong. There is no pure truth, only the consensus. Try to add to that consensus in a kinder and more civil manner. I think things will honestly go better if we all try and do that.
Just some food for thought. Have a nice day.
