Difficult Thread Closures?
Well, if you've been visiting Otaku Lounge, you'll know what I'm talking about.
In fact, I've talked about this kind of thing before on myOtaku. Last time, it related to an abortion thread I think. That thread started to get a little more out of control, but nonetheless, I felt that it was the right time to end this thread.
I'm sure that there are some people involved in these threads that would rather I didn't step in. But I don't care. Honestly, there are a few instances where it's warranted...and this was one of 'em.
Sometimes, when I think about the way things are in the world, I really feel that it's easy to loose hope. It's easy to look at the massive tide of intolerance that exists and to simply crawl under a rock and try to let it pass over you. It's tempting, because going against the grain is always difficult.
If you look at civil rights leaders during the 60's in America...many of them were even killed because they dared to speak out. To some extent that still happens on various issues, though it's not as bad as it once was. But still, it's very intimidating.
I'm certainly not some beacon for human rights or anything like that. But in general, I find it hard not to feel physically ill when I read some of the stuff Crimson Spider posts. Some of it is so incredibly ignorant that it really does make me want to loose faith in humanity. Thankfully, not everybody is like that.
Oh well. At least I have things to occupy my mind...things to look forward to. And at least I do have level-headed people to talk to. Without that, I wouldn't be on here at all. |
