You could just avoid the 1000th post like I do.
And yeah, the title sucks. :p
 
I wasn't expecting to get the 1000th post!

Otherwise it would've been more dignified than me saying you shouldn't put condoms in wallets.

Fundamentalists are hard to talk to, but here's an honest stab.

J has uttered bad thoughts. And it was demanded that in order to be worth speaking with, or thinking positively of, that he speak good thoughts. He expressed good thoughts in a post that was "on the script" of "good thinking people." At which point, he gets a like, and then an admonishment to silence his honest admissions to his anonymous acquaintances due to their badness. His harmful bad admissions even. Not because he might act harmfully, but because expressing them is harmful and gross. Which is what heresy is. I'm calling you, among other people, hurtful fundamentalists. We like to whine about how men hold it all in, and here we are. Being disgusting to one of them.

The fundamentalist attitude of, uh, not viewing your preferred orientation as meat to be sexed?

We whine about men not being capable of seeking help due to society's silencing of their concerns. Not sure "View women a little better than you seem to." falls under unceremonious censorship of the male experience, unless you're willing to argue the male experience genuinely revolves around viewing every voiced encounter with a woman as a pathway to sexual conquest. And in this case it isn't even censorship being proposed, but instead to analyze one's posts and ask if the gender in question may be uncomfortable with their contents.

Your flex doesn't even parse. Mary has made sexual posts. I have. Lexicus has. Being sexual, having hopes of sexual satisfaction, isn't what's bad. You were clever in reducing the complaint to "bad thoughts," but it doesn't really work. It's a noticing of a pattern of behaviour. J hasn't made one post and now he's being "cancelled" (reeeeeeee). There's been multiple posts over a lengthy period of time that all express the same sentiment.

Rant: What a horrible title !
 
I think titles can be changed.
 
Is that a threat?
 
Not by me; I gave up my moderator assets years ago. But I think you can. :p
