You're here protesting someone (who already agrees with you) because I didn't care to soapbox about my view since the discussion didn't call for it and we all already agree. This is slacktivism at its finest.

You very explicitly stated "I haven’t taken any moral position on that", but after I point out how weird it would be to not have a position on that, you suddenly always had one, just conveniently adding "in this thread" to the end.

You chose to say that you're actively deciding not to voice an opinion, ie you're proclaiming a neutral position in the context of this conversation. That is a position.

It's not soapboxing to not be pathologically avoidant of ever having an opinion publicly.

The sad part is you honestly don't even what I'm talking about. I'm yet to figure out what it is about the Finnish language / culture / mentality which breeds this sort of thing. It's infuriatingly common in Finland.

You’ve misunderstood. I have a moral position, I haven’t made a moral stance in this thread.

I already explained it to you in an earlier reply. At this point I'm really not sure what you're hoping to achieve.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You've excused something, yes.

I'm hoping to get through to you, and failing miserably, I'm honestly having a hard time coming up with a more explicit explanation than the dozen I've given. I bet you haven't even looked up avoidance.

You sure are. Because I have no idea what you were trying to achieve.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We agree on this, definitely. If you reread the thread a few times after informing yourself of how avoidance as a coping strategy works, you'll have a chance, I'm sure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Coping about... what, exactly?

This was a fun discussion, started out of nothing and never went anywhere
