[quote=@Inkarnate] This is pretty much the definition of false equivalence. I sent screenshots of a “private community” that was effectively conspiring to get Ruby removed from her place as moderator because of past transgressions and personal squabbles. Which by the way, I sent these images to the [i]Site Administrator[/i] that a [i]dangerous precedent[/i] was beginning to unfold that I personally found problematic despite being friendly acquaintances with the core group at the time. I never aired these images “publicly” and told Mahz specifically that I quote: [sub][b]“It seems there is a particularly vocal sub-sect of the unofficial discord server that are confused, angry, and disappointed. I’m not sure how to report things in this manner since I don’t want to waste your time – I’m sure Cynder is expressing her concerns. With that said, I wish you the best in this situation. I’m currently watching the situation unfold. I’ve sent several picture evidence that I have forwarded to you.”[/b][/sub] It is only comparable if you take things at face value alone. But I do appreciate you trying to sow more dissent, Nyt. [/quote] I think trying to make blanket statements regarding people who are legitimately frustrated and labeling them all as a threat to the stability of the guild sets a dangerous precedent. I think trying to obfuscate the truth and make up excuses for a person's actions sets a dangerous precedent. I think that sending images and indirectly alluding that something must be done to stifle a portion of your own community sets a dangerous precedent. I think that focusing on the diction and rhetorical design of an argument rather than its context sets a dangerous precedent. I think deceit and secrecy sets a dangerous precedent.
