[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4787815, member: 63706"] Never heard of Poe's Law. I read up on it, it sounds as though, even if this is not the original intent, it is being used to justify being offended without taking the time to understand context. Sure, people will use ambiguity to get away with stuff, but if it's just words, why is anyone getting upset? I think that what we are seeing now is the unforseen consequences of people of differing cultures mingling so easily, with everyone assuming that everyone else shares the same values and conceptualizes everything within the same framework. That creates a lot of room for misunderstanding, and viewpoint supremacy, hence the woke crowd thinking it's their duty to police everyone's thinking. I'd say that the solution to Poe's Law would be it's inverse, always assume someone is pulling your leg, or that you are missing something, until you confirm otherwise. [/QUOTE]
