Uh?

Pretty sure questions about what discrimination - specifically, classism - and slurs are and what protected classes ought to be are bang on topic to social justice (which is all about discrimination, including classism) and safe spaces (which usually exclude slurs). It's actually just about the most useful thing to have come up in the last few pages; most of it's been dog-chasing-tail stuff about people's debating practices. It didn't go anywhere at the time because of people sniping at each other, but I was considering replying to it (it just got buried under so much of the aforementioned shit that I forgot about it).

I mean, the closest thing to arguments that it's off-topic I've seen are "this isn't discrimination, so discussion of whether it's discrimination isn't relevant to discrimination" (which is obviously fallacious) and "you're talking rationally, thus it's off-topic to SJWs" (which would seem to forbid any productive discussion in the thread and mandate that it merely be a dogpile). Neither is particularly convincing.

So yeah, I really would prefer it if this particular injunction were undone, just so the topic remains open to further discussion. I know this isn't the 1000 words Biigoh always trumpets, but there's only so much I can pad "non sequitur" before it gets repetitive.

 

You are correct. This is not a one thousand word essay about what you specifically did wrong and I am not Biigoh. I do not offer an essay to undo my rulings, and this is not a threadban so even Biigoh's stated rule would not apply. Further than that, if you have a complaint about a moderator's conduct you should contact the moderator themselves via PM, not air your grievances publicly outside of designated spaces to do so.

This is the Announcements and Rules subforum, and this was neither an announcement nor a question about the rules. On second thought I was wrong. I was put off by the phrasing as a complaint instead of a question, but you posted in the right place.

And lastly, threads should also have titles that reflect their content, not "uh?" and "huh?" This is your official notice.

This is an attempt at appeal. If this is not the correct place for appeals, I apologise, but that is the impression I was given.
