You are entitled to your opinion, and if you don't care about my story that's okay. However, common sense is subjective and doesn't qualify you to speak on behalf of anyone let alone the members of this communityBane666 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:13 amWhat qualifies me is common sense that nobody wants to read the nonsense ramblings of someone who admitted to creating a fake persona, your multi-paragraph long threads have nothing of value to anyone who reads them nor did they when you were here originally. What exactly have you contributed to this forum?Radioactive wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 4:55 am It would be more accurate to say that you don't didn't ask and that you don't care. But what qualifies you to speak on behalf of everyone on the forum, even future members?
It is important to remember that no one person or group has the right to speak on behalf of another person or group without their explicit consent. This applies to individuals, organizations, and even entire communities. Each person has their own unique experiences, perspectives, and opinions, and it is not fair or respectful to assume that one person can speak for another.
Speaking on behalf of someone else is not only disrespectful, but it is also arrogant. It assumes that one person knows what is best for another person and that their perspective is the correct one. This is not only unfair, but it also undermines the agency and autonomy of the person or group being spoken for.
When someone speaks on behalf of someone else without their consent, they are essentially saying that they know better than that person what they should think, feel, or say. This is not only arrogant, but it also diminishes the credibility and experiences of the person or group being spoken for.
Furthermore, speaking on behalf of someone else can also perpetuate stereotypes and misinformation. It can perpetuate harmful narratives about marginalized groups, and it can also prevent those groups from being accurately represented.
It is important to remember that everyone has the right to their own voice and experiences. Everyone has the right to speak for themselves, and it is not our place to speak on behalf of others. We should always strive to listen and learn from others, rather than assuming that we know what is best for them.
You asked what I contribute to this forum. As a member of this forum, I understand that not everyone will agree with my contributions or perspectives. However, I firmly believe that my input is meaningful and valid, regardless of whether or not it is met with unanimous approval.
I understand that discussions and debates are an important part of any community, and that different opinions and perspectives can lead to valuable insights and growth. My contributions to this forum are made with the intention of sharing my thoughts and experiences, and I hope that they will inspire others to engage in thoughtful, respectful dialogue.
I also understand that I am not always going to be right and that I can learn from others. It's important for me to be open to constructive criticism and willing to admit when I am wrong. But, I also respect my own voice and it's important for me to stand by what I believe in.
It is my hope that my contributions will be received with an open mind, and that they will spark meaningful conversations and exchanges among members of this community. I value the diversity of perspectives and opinions represented here and I believe that my contributions can add to that diversity.
It's important to remember that diversity is what makes a community thrive and it's okay if we don't always see eye-to-eye. My contributions are valid and meaningful, even if others don't agree with them, and I will continue to share my thoughts and experiences in the hope that they will inspire others to do the same.
