Not happening.

It's almost happening, imo. Exaggerated criticisms to the point of ludicrousness break their credibility, and can call related criticisms into question. "Hmm, maybe some of those other claims are false too?" Of course, that will only happen among those who favor cognition over dogma.

why should anyone give a damn about the private lives of others.

Because humans are a social creature, and most of us participate in society. Those who go out of their way to corrupt or damage our society (faggots, trannies, pedophiles, etc.) need the same kind of attention a T-cell pays to invading disease vectors in the human body.

I like conspiracy studies, if there is sufficient reliable evidence

You'd have to watch TAMs account, because he deletes the evidence on a regular basis. But you've undoubted seen a number of his attacks on saidit users from his position as an admin...

I don't care if he wishes he weren't destroying saidit. That is what he's doing when he drives users off the site in the name of saidit. I think it's related to his level of insanity that causes him to pretend to be a girl.

But to be fair, perhaps we should congratulate him for at least sticking to the human species? He hasn't had hooves made for his hands and a goat suit made so he can eat grass on mountain hillsides with the native fauna. Afaik, he also doesn't believe he's a member of the deer species, who just happens to be able to speak English and work in the tech field.

Perhaps I would have retained some sympathy for that creature if he hadn't made all those false claims about me, and threatened to "report me to the FBI"? But he went ahead and revealed his true character, and that's something you don't just forget.

I see your points, and I understand how anyone who fought with TAM might also be quite upset.

Not to drag out the conversation, though as a historian, I think I can confirm that cosmopolitan societies, where different kinds of people have mixed for millennia, for the purposes of trade, secure settlement, and generally for economic and social benefits, have also been remarkably tolerant of the "melting pot" of very different religions, customs, classes, economic backgrounds, and - in many cases - sexual preferences. The periods when these cosmopolitan regions developed resulted in some of the most innovative, interesting, solutions for a better quality of life for people. Fundamental to what works in the cosmopolis is: tolerance, relative freedom speech, relatve freedom to choose of one's way of life, and some opportunities for upward social mobility. Not that this has worked perfectly, but all of this is why I see your point about society as a good argument for the acceptance of same-sex couples, or those who identify as the opposite of their sex at birth. Of course, no one should agree with pedophiles, for reasons that are perhaps part of a very different discussion. There is unfortunately a long, continuous history of pedophelia, some of which includes tolerance for pedophiles (which was wrong).

Not to quibble my day away, but the definition of cosmopolitan is "*including or containing people from many different countries. *". That's why those societies are called 'cosmopolitan'.

What's happening now is an attack on our society by introducing non-compatible elements that are tearing it all down.

There will undoubtedly be humans left after our current society is destroyed, but it's not going to be anything like the people promoting moral corruption are expecting.
