The place is OTC.

OTC neatly encapsulates everything that is wrong with this forum.

There's also some needless drama in the OTC thread.

To be honest, to me, when things spice up in OTC is usually when folks begin to spout views that make me cringe.

I remember when people were trying to defend forced sterilization...ah the memories.

I won't say that some of them don't actually think that forced sterilization is okay, but I think some of them were trying too hard to play Devil's Advocate.

No, no, I saw the discussion when it was going on. I posted in it once or twice and gave up.

That was one of the very few times I've ventured to that neck of the woods, and that neck...HAS A BEARD. *scare chord*

It wasn't a pun. I genuinely don't care that I don't fit in with the community.

…oh, I thought you were referring to the "neckbeard" thing in my post above. I didn't realize that that was supposed to be a post totally detached from the current conversation.

Some people have very strange views about some things.

Forced sterilization... -cringe-

So what?

Please don't take it as if I agree with forced sterilisation or whatever - but them agreeing with it, sincerity or not, should not be a problem or cause drama

If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common

Do you think forced sterilization is okay?

No?

Okay then, good. You're sane. They're not. Their loss.

go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagine

I don't think it is okay.

But who knows, I might turn out to be wrong. And anyway, it is come thing they have a full right to say

@inane 242

I suppose that's the main difference. I've used to like this site specifically because everyone can feel safe and say what they think here, as long as it is technically polite. But I am glad that the site is changing in the direction you like. It's not like it has to suit me (shrugs)
