Thiefprowess, your attitude is extremely disappointing. You're acting like a sore loser and a spoiled child, just because a discussion did not go your way. You have ENTIRELY missed my point. I am not supporting Yorick because I agree with him - I am supporting him because he is willing to back up what he said by getting off his ass and DOING something. Too many people in forums waffle on with grandiose proclamations about this, that and the other, or carry on about social justice, but don't actually do anything about it. To me, these people just use forums like this to boost their own egos. I don't have a lot of respect for those people - to me, if you feel strongly about an issue and are prepared to argue passionately about it, then get off your ass and do it.
Maybe my subtleties were lost on you - since Yorick was prepared to kick up a big stink and make a big fuss about this issue, I challenged him to get off his ass and do something about an issue that he has been arguing for on this thread, and to his credit he got off his ass and did something about it. That is why I respect him - not because I agree with him, but because he wasn't just arguing for the sake of arguing, he was prepared to back his words with action.
If he had backed out of it and made some excuse to not do something after all he'd said about it, then I would have lost respect for him.
You, on the other hand, are acting in a petulant way when really, what did you lose? How are you worse off because of what Yorick did? Your comment about not doing anything because it won't make a difference is what is called apathy - like voters who don't bother to vote because they don't think it will make a difference. Guess what - if enough people didn't do that they of course they won't make a difference.
I hope that this is the last sign of negativity that I see from you on this thread, as I'm not going to continue arguing with you. If you don't think Yorick's thing will be successful, then why do you keep reading and replying to this topic? I'm sure there are plenty of other topics out there which are more interesting to you.
