The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.

That's obviously what you meant, these people have to assume the worst because otherwise they can't frame things in terms of Star Wars level good guys and bad guys.
They're not that deep!
Seems like you are doing exactly what you speak of. You assume nothing bad of the woke agenda and the left in general.
I don't think my enemies are evil. I just think they're stupid. It's the ideas themselves that are evil. The people are just victims really.
Also the right only engages with the dumbest most extreme left stuff and then pretends thats who defines us. You guys ignore all my basic objections to your arguments because you can't deal with reality.

Again thats exactly how I view you guys. Of course you are the ones actually voting against your interests. And you specifically are identifying with the team who has no value for you. You're a fucking comic book artist. Who do you think supports your shit exactly? Who makes space for eccentric art types who read phil all day? That would be my team. You turned your back on your home. It's so fucked up it's unspeakable.

I had one latinx student last year who used it when referring about themself in an essay, so I had opportunity to use it a few times in their presence.
My general view here is that I’m not going to bend over backwards to use all the latest terminology just to keep up. But if someone signals that it’s important to them and would help them experience a more inclusive space, it’s no sweat off my nuts to make that accommodation.
This only legitimizes the latest bourgeois etiquette speech codes that breeds exclusion and division. So now because of you more people not up on terminology or not willing to participate will be at risk at their jobs. You should have just explained that they are welcome, but that it didn't require special language.
Very disappointed in you. You didn't act correctly. You acted in a way that avoided conflict and hurt feeling. But no sweat of your nuts though, right?
Be better.
This is an all-timer. I'm howling.

My wife’s company is strongly considering relocating their NA HQ somewhere other than Texas, due to draconian stuff like that, along with the usual secession horseshit. The logic being that, soon enough, most sane people won’t want to live there.

If only there was a group of elite schools with multi-billion dollar endowments that could do something.

I'm truly racking my brain trying to figure out what it is you think Harvard could do to make it so that enough five star running backs refuse to sign with Alabama.
