I see that as being different. Maybe I'm being a hypocrite, but I see someone telling you to avoid a whole subject that you're interested in talking about or to just shut up in general as being different from asking you to avoid a certain word. Usually there are plenty of good synonyms for those controversial words anyway so they can still say what they want to say. And again, they're always free to say no.

I'm just confused about why "it's my blog" is a good refusal but something like "it's my comment" isn't when someone here asks you if you could avoid saying "retard" for example.

[jaybie_jarrett]

Ah ..I understand.

and if you're attacking another person or doing things to harass or bully them it's not "you doing stuff on your own blog"

Just with the word thing...where would it end? I mean people should be using a word to mock or belittle a group, or telling them tot die, but i just seems iffy. especially on tumblr where there's a neverending list of offensive stuff. and "that offends me is often treated like a magic wand of rightnesss.

But people should avoid calling people stuff or using slurs.

[sarillia]

Yeah there are definitely people who say "this is offensive" and expect everyone to go along with it without question. But I welcome discussion and I'm not going to attack people for questioning it. I'm also okay with people ignoring me and going about their business if they're not as interested in this stuff as I am. Again, all I'm asking for is the same benefit of the doubt that I'm expected to give other people.

[jaybie_jarrett]

Ah

I see. I apologize, really. I probably sound like a huge jerk.

Like you said, maybe people are just different but I think most people think of it as an ownership/territorial thing. Your own blog = your space, your home, your own personal forum. You wouldn't want someone walking into your house and asking you, even politely, not to do something they didn't like while you're in your own home. (this has limits of course, if you're a serial killer and hiding the bodies there or whatnot... but if you're just, for instance, cursing, or smoking, or looking at porn..)

On the other hand, a comment ANYWHERE ELSE, whether it's a community forum or in someone else's personal journal, you're either a guest and/or at most a co-owner of the space-- you are expected to be respectful either of your host or of your fellow community members... well, I say respectful but this is fandom.

Anyway, to my mind that is where the distinction lies, and why someone would use an "it's my own blog" defense.
