Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on November 30, 2024, 09:28:04 PMI do not support legal action, since I dislike the precedent set by someone having their speech suppressed for being gross and unpleasant to a member of an opposing political party.

However, the last person to act in this specific way was Iusti Canun, who would sometimes write me to tell me that he thought I was handsome. It was creepy.  As we all know, that sort of behavior didn't bode well.  I hope Breneir reconsiders this course of action upon reflection.  It's possible to make a comeback after almost anything in Talossa, but no one has ever continued in the country after openly establishing themselves as a sex pest.

Breneir, obviously you'll never just think about your behavior, realize that even "playful" sexual harassment is wrong, and apologize.  So I would encourage you to just do the same thing you did with your grudge against Txec: seize on some plausible shred of principle that's involved, and loudly pretend you were trying to make a point about that principle.  If you do a good job, it might even seem real.  Do not double down and make a big deal about how it's somehow really important that you get to say creepy shit to a young person.  He doesn't deserve that, and no one will tolerate it.

Maybe this is really about freedom of speech, for example?  You just want to be able to speak your mind without Government censorship, perhaps.

Agreed that legal action would be too much, but I do think the comments made violate at least wittiquette #8 and maybe #3 (although harrassment isnt explicitly mentioned), so on that basis a moderator could intervene if it happens again, either by editing the offending bits or giving a warning. Obviously we should be careful not to censor political debate for minor violations, but when comments seem purely intended to be patronising or bordering on harrassment without making any sort of political point moderators may decide to moderate.

Yeah, fair enough. Definitely at a certain point, things would have gone too far and just become plain sexual harassment, which merits action. There's definitely a line that can be crossed, regardless of free speech concerns.

Fortunately, he seems to have taken another route out of this, shifting to less problematic language and choosing other targets.

Folks, I've not chosen "other targets" and have not chosen another route.
