Meta Gaming
I got a message from a mod accusing me of meta gaming (even though I have never done so), with a warning that I would be punished if I do not respond in three days. I responded almost immediately, but two days later, still have not yet heard back from the mod. Am I at risk of having my account banned while I wait for the mod to respond? I am at a critical juncture in multiple games right now, so that would be really bad. Thanks to anyone who responds.

Confused about defaulting to defend
I'm new to this, and am curious-- under what circumstances does a unit that is programmed to move, support hold, or support move NOT do what it's programmed to do, but rather revert to defending itself?

Help please?

Over-representation on the forum
It seems clear that people called "oscarjd74" are seriously over-represented on this forum. There are around 100% too many of them.

What can we do to address this serious imbalance?

Respect the elderly
I believe that the elderly are severly underrepresented on webDip. Obviously this is because the webDip community is too hostile towards the elderly. How can we solve this problem?

Someone made a serious thread highlighting a real issue. In response we get the group for whom that issue is most relevant being targeted in a hate-filled way. This isn't satire, a joke or anything close to funny or appropriate. I am offended that this type of attempt at humour is posted here.

Oscar, I ask again you please refrain from targeted insults in the forum.

I agree with Lando here. This is a real issue for many women. I know a number of them in real life and they would find this very offensive. We also have talked about making the site more welcoming to women, and this is not in any way shape or form conducive to that.

So, please stop and let this thread die. Thank you.

I don't think this thread is sexist. I think it is anti-fat, but not sexist.

If this thread was "Fat Men Eat More" would it be labeled sexist?

That said, it's a stupid thread.

Boy, you're all so oversensitive. FYI, I'm overweight myself, and yeah I eat a lot. Haha. But sure, let's let this thread die. It's not going to get any funnier by continuing it.

I don't know if I'm over sensitive. I couldn't care less about this thread's offensiveness, I just think calling it sexist is just plain false.

What the hell is wrong with me? I read this thread...and....and...I actually understood why some might find it offensive? Good lord....<pulling my hair>....I think....I think...I might be growing...sss...ss......sensitive!!

Oh....wait....then I realized that anyone that takes offense at this is a blithering idiot. If you are fat, you know you are fat, and you know that you eat more food than others. Chances are, therefore, that your fatness is a choice of behavior...the "I have a thyroid problem..." is, generally speaking, a bunch of shit that people use as an excuse.

I've been overweight in the past...I didn't like it. I changed my diet and exercised. Problem solved. Yes....it was hard. Never said it was easy. I have also beaten down alcoholism, which I assure you is significantly more difficult than than not buying potato chips and ice cream.

It's time, as a society, that we stop being such a bunch of whiny pussies and pretending that bad choices are acceptable. Yes...I said it....choosing to live a lifestyle that makes you fat is a **bad** choice. It has health consequences. It increases your burden on society through the cost of your health care, and therefore is a selfish choice. It increases your carbon footprint (the food has to be grown and transported...) and therefore is unhealthy for the planet, if you believe in such things.

Fuck. Get the hell over it. Fat people are fat. It isn't "funny" per se....but pointing it out shouldn't be "offensive" either.

Damn...

What's an Enemy?
I found that enemies are most enemies that aren't interested in the interests of other friends' enemies and most people are not people that I would make as an enemy because it takes a friend to make an Enemy with interests like those of your enemy. I always hang out with enemies but never with my enemies because our interests are the same.

So what's this thread anyway?
