Yeah, it seems like those posts are merely tearing everyone apart right now...

What makes you think you're about to be banned, though?

This. Believe me when I say that as much as I love you guys over there, I am seriously considering telling him to go [expletive deleted] himself and his sexist crap. He pulled the same thing on my journal a few months ago.

See, this is why the argument is making me so depressed - I'm not even sure whose side to be on. On the one hand, shy_james could be an alright guy who's just being misunderstood because he didn't word his posts well, but on the other hand, he could actually be sexist. I don't think there's any use arguing until he says something that either further proves he's alright or further proves he's sexist. But, then again, that's probably a stupid statement that's gonna make the argument completely restart here.

Every single comment thread in my journal turns into the ones in those posts now. For that reason, I've even thought a little about leaving LJ altogether...

There is nothing stupid about it. He posted a direct response to someone on this last post, where he said he was going to take the weekend to think about it and post something on Monday. Unless it is another flounce (which, why wait for Monday?), I am thinking he probably is well-intentioned, and has just dug himself into some really weird ideas about girls and relationships. He may even be expressing his ideas well, and they are just terrible ideas, but he doesn't know any better. Speaking as one who staked out a side a couple of posts back, both sides are looking pretty muddy, so being on the fence is probably a smart move.

Don't leave, that would suck. :(
:X No more talk about community drama, yeah? (Just ignore my LJ rant tonight, I'll even put it under a cut...)

[matt1993]

Come to think of it, I think the reason I'm feeling so anxious and depressed is because people seem to keep changing their opinions about it; it seems like some of your comments are written with the belief that shy_james is undeniably sexist and will never do anything about it, and some are, like this one, expressing that he might be being misunderstood. Which is the same thing I've been doing, especially since the fence seems like a side of itself.

But yeah, no more community drama. (I hope we don't just wind up with community drama with each comment ending in "no more community drama"...)

Ah, to be young and indecisive! Oh, wait, I'm not young... :P

P.S. Emocrat icon cracks me up.

Thanks!

Thanks again! I really need to stop talking about this debate so that I can get to work on my biweekly assignment for English. Which, ironically is going to be about this debate, as even when I'm not participating in it, it's still the #1 thing on my mind.
