It is encouraging to see such a topic debated in a way that can really open people's eyes to it without turning them off from the discussion altogether.  The pro-feminism side certainly had a platform to make their voice heard, and it's unfortunate they began selectively quoting those whom they were debating and claiming personal attacks were being hurled against them.  However, this just highlighted the other side's ability to keep their composure, continue to debate against that person's claims, and leave no stone unturned. I hope this thread not only causes people to think about what feminism means, but also learn the difference between the good and bad ways to debate a subject which is potentially controversial and emotionally charged.  Bravo to moozooh, Warp, and IronSlayer in particular. Thanks for helping to make this such a unique community (how many other internet forums would have kept things this reasonable?).

"<dada__> everything is about sex to Swordless. typical. That was in response to Swordless telling me I'm only a feminist because I'm using it to elicit sex from women." Dada's right on one thing that I did take this quote out of context.. That if you have sex you'll lose your sword or something. Then I looked down and contemplated it until I saw his reply. There's only one thing. Dada's reply made him look worse because that swordless d00d brings up a good point about people who want to get closer to the core. In fast paced IRC waves there's less room for thoughts. But to draw the thread I created into something it wasn't intended to be is one thing. To reply with personal attacks is another. I recommend the people who reply to each other back and forth to wait 5 replies from toher users first to not make it look so personal. there's irc and direct connect and sms for those things. I waited over 120 messages before replying. Had I known it went like this I probably would've replied sooner. Course I know the truth. Dada is pirate_sephiroth's sock puppet. You fell into his spell. maybe I did too, dunno. It's a little funny when you think of it that way. I can't help but share some responsibility for the pages though so I made some amends by ordering some pizza. Hopefully that will help.
