Re: 129

Um, I don't think anyone's going to come by and shut down your computer.

Gee, anything written is subjected to criticism; that's the nature of the beast. Nobody ever made everybody happy. All they can do is the best they can, try to be sensitive within the confines of the text itself, and be willing to take some hits once it's posted/published.

Re: 129-not op

[(Anonymous)]

why are people missing the point?

it's not about writing something and being subjected to criticism.

it's about writing something and if you get it wrong (by whatever nebulous definitions the PoC reader considers wrong) not only are you criticized, you are held up for ridicule and people descend on you like ravenous dogs.

if you don't see that, you aren't paying attention to this hotly debated issue at all.

Okay one, you're not going to win any points here by comparing PoC to "ravenous dogs."

Second? If you were actually paying attention to this issue (which I've been following pretty much from day one, personally) you'd have noticed that the initial criticisms were very polite and calmly stated. Things didn't get "ravenous" until those who had been criticized began making asses of themselves, dismissing the opinions of their critics as misinformed and implying that they lacked the sophistication to properly read a text.

THAT was the point where people started to get angry.

Yeah, I got the point of the OP - I'm not stupid. But I'm pretty sure part of the point of the ongoing discussions everywhere, and the fact it keeps getting brought up, and at least some of the criticism, is to show what POC go through in their own lives on a regular or semi-regular basis. It may be the closest thing a non-POC will experience on constantly being judged and criticized even while trying to do the best they can, since a non-POC really can't know what being a POC is like.

Do I get tired of seeing the same unpleasant conversation come up over and over again? You bet. No matter what it is. Most of us dislike unpleasantness and continued confrontation in any form. I figure compared to some POC I've probably gotten off light in how I'm viewed in my everyday life, so when I want to grind my teeth at the continued discussion, I just think How would I feel if I didn't have the choice to scroll past or click away in real life? - like we all do online.

I'm hardly PC. But this isn't really a PC issue, it's more of a "well, hopefully someday nobody will be slighted based on anything other than their demonstrated individual behavior and ability." You know?
