[Noisebridge-discuss] Job Creator

[Jeffrey Carl Faden]

"My best friend / relative is ___" and "I donate to ___ charities" are not good excuses to use hurtful language willy-nilly.

I don't consider this to be censorship, personal or institutional. As per the anti-harassment policy, I'm simply asking you to stop using the word as a jocular metaphor as I consider it harassing behavior, and expecting you to comply. As a non-member, I am not advocating your removal, nor can I.

Yes, I get upset when people say 'thats gay' because Im queer spawn, but i have never corrected anyone on it because I knew they werent really serious, just ignorant and ignorance is suffering, so reacting to ignorance is reacting tp suffering.

If anyone chooses to consider my use of the word "rape" as a tongue-in-cheek metaphor to be an expression of insensitivity toward women's suffering, then you're mistaken. My sister was raped once, and she still suffers from it. That's one reason i have done volunteer work for Women Against Rape.
