Explain how this is backing away?
My statement was very simple: You are accusing a member of spreading hate. So far no other member or even the admin agrees with you.
Several members have explained what "snowflakes" is and what the point of this thread is, even Mety made an attempt.
I tried to explain before but here it is again:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/snowflake
To note:
So all those articles that morekaos and others have posted are examples of people overreacting or being easily offended by things.
Is calling a big giant metal disk a "manhole cover" really sexist? Posting an article where someone overreacts to something and accused them of racism does not mean the person is racist. It means they are pointing out something and asking "Are they really racist?".
Criticizing an American chicken company's marketing effort does not mean they are anti-American. Talking about how you know important people from other countries does not mean they are anti-American. It's just talking.
While you may not agree with other members, their politics, their job or their comments... sometimes you overreach with your commentary. But that's fine, that's your right as a TI member here. But just like you want to point out their faults... you have to be receptive of the same criticism.
And even after all these words I'm typing, I'm sure your next post will be something about me avoiding the question or that I'm wrong and that's what I mean... there is nothing I can say to change your mind, so why even say it? You keep asking me to respond to you but you don't agree with my response so that gains us zero.
We don't agree on the topic of Snowflakes and it's purpose. You think it's spreading hate, others (and myself) think it's pointing out what people think is hate... and really isn't. And that's the irony.
Says the judge, jury and executioner.
Keep trying to insinuate this. There is no conflict for me at work... I said it's easier to deal with my kids than with some co-workers/managers and that was in a general sense, not my own situation personally. You're always trying to dig for negatives... is that the Christian way?
BTW: You should look in the mirror about conflicts. Have you noticed not many members are backing your positions any more? I can't believe how many times you've called out Mety when he's been nothing but nice to you. I think you owe him an apology.
More false news... show me where I called anyone stupid... I said the decisions were and I was talking about anyone in general at work who has ever had to deal with stupid decisions from management.
You keep bringing in discussions from other threads... I thought you didn't like that but you do it everywhere now.

I dislike Hillary because she is a carpetbagger and stayed with her cheating husband. So I did not vote for either one in 2016.
When we vote in 2020, we really should look at accomplishments and policy rather than personality. I don't think anyone likes trump, but he is doing some things I agree with while taking a big fat dump on the constitution of the USA.

What really is needed on Trump is finding the debt and exposing the whole success lie.

There is no confrontation. Just a statement. As I said, it?s no use trying to explain.
The irony is lost.
Additionally, no one else has supported the accusations of hate.
Seeing that the admin has not said anything and no other member is complaining should indicate the general consensus.

Let?s be real: when a person critiques a restaurant they talk about the taste of food, service, maybe the decor/inside of the restaurant.
But to call the patrons/restaurant stupid without giving a reason is kind of odd.
But it makes sense, if you take a step back and say wait a minute his best friend/family member owns a foreign restaurant franchise that competes with the top American franchise.
I call it like it is.
