What a sign of the times. A time when disagreement = blacklist. If there ever once was a time and place where people actively engaged in the exchange of ideas, this is neither the time nor the place. At steamgifts, where people are so molded in ideology and character... where everyone has already created a cemented idea of how everything in the world should work - and damn everyone who doesn't agree to their blacklist - I cannot help but feel so jealous of those individuals and their staunch ignorance to think that their opinion is beyond questionable.

So as I continue to be added to other people's blacklists for having a different opinion, let me tell you all how none of you are on my blacklist... see I celebrate the differences of ideology, I do not punish it. 11 unfortunate leechers are the only individuals who reside on my blacklist, not the people who insult me on the forums, not the people who are rude on the forums, and certainly not the people who I disagree with on these forums and have debates - in fact most people who provide an insult free debate are added to my WL.

Stand up for what you believe in, fight for those who cannot defend themselves, listen and be heard... and above all else celebrate the differences of others whether that is race, color, creed, religion, beliefs, or opinions. The real secret of the world is that you do not limit others through racism, religious hate or silencing opposition to your opinion - you truly only limit yourself.

Have to agree, I'd added you to my whitelist a ways back because I KNEW you'd be taking BL from having an opinion.

I've gotten in a few debates with others on here (mostly about if blacklists are fair etc) but like you I never BL people even if I find their opinions ignorant, naive, or baseless. It's an opinion, you don't HAVE to agree with it.

I totally agree with what you wrote, dLo. In my personal opinion we would be much better off without blacklists and all that. But it's the internet and there are a lot of sad people out there... Fortunately there are also some nice people that make it worthwhile.

Thanks for the GA, and yes, I believe in magic in a young girl's heart.

Why does it matter if you're on someone else's black or white or any other color list? Why are people making this so personal, and are so loud about it?

I don't understand people, who come into a discussion and declare that they've added someone to their blacklist; like, what the fuck does it change? Oh, someone's small chance of winning a free game will become slightly smaller.

I don't understand people, who come into discussion and declare that they've added someone to their whitelist; do you expect, a fucking medal for that, or are you just trying to make someone like you a little bit more because you pressed an arbitrary button on a website?

I think that white- and blacklists were created as a helper tool for your giveaway management, for cases when steam groups weren't enough. But then this helper tool created this endless ocean of attention whoring and bland drama.

On a completely unrelated note, will appreciate any native speaking grammar-nazies taking a look at this little pile of text. Punctuation is my weakness.

That was honestly not my intent. And I also was added to about 20 blacklists for the OP. Not that I am concerned with GA/Win Ratios or all that, but I think you can see from my profile (if you cared to look at it) that I don't really enter many GA's nor do I entirely have much interest to - outside of a strict handful of titles.

Oh, for heaven's sake... why can't there be a week without somebody complaining about blacklists? Blacklisting somebody just means they don't wish to gift you anything, in real life you are blacklisted by, like, almost everybody, by default. It doesn't mean they hate you, it doesn't mean they don't want to talk to you, it means absolutely nothing more than "I don't want you to enter my giveaways". Would you complain about people whitelisting others just for their opinion? Whitelisting has much more effect btw. Personally, I blacklist for whatever reason suits me and feel no urge to justify it to anybody (and, of course, I'm perfectly fine with others doing the same to me).

You come across as a rude a-hole when you disagree with someone. So the blacklisting is no surprise. People here blacklist for less, honestly.

Still, it's wrong in my opinion to blacklist someone for differing views.

I am only a rude a-hole when the time and place demands that I be. There is no retreat, there is no surrender... there is only stand and fight and push forward. I am on a crusade to make all blacklists great again!

I mainly blacklist rulebreakers or leechers. Recently I cleared majority of my blacklist. I had almost 200 people on it and now only 60ish people are left.

Also thanks a lot for the awesome giveaway. :)

Yeah, adding someone because of an argument is a pretty stupid reason. Ive been blacklisted many times for whatever post im sure someone didn't agree with. Likely my trading post. I agree on adding leeches but making a GA with no level requirement kind of invites them doesn't it? When I first joined and made my GAs with no lvl or lvl 1/2 I was shocked by the winners. Gave 1 game, won 300. Gave 0 won 70+. etc etc. Or did enough to reach lvl 2 and then no GAs for 3 years. Just wins. Its a real shame.

It's not just SG. It's a common attitude these days in the U.S. sadly.

i'd say that sounded borderline racial but you're from U.S., but i'll still have to correct you a little and say "it's a common attitude in immature people sadly" xD people all across the globe are like that ^^

I didn't mean that it doesn't happen elsewhere. Only that I notice it's become commonplace in U.S. (because I live here). Everything has become so politicized and people can't just have a simple disagreement anymore. It didn't used to be like that years ago. It goes beyond immaturity. It's not just average citizens but people everywhere, especially in government, that think like that.

dude, you've been on my WL from early on when I noticed the good games you were giving away. I try not to disagree much in the forums as I've found it's generally fruitless and leads only to not happy place for no good reason.. (I did discuss something on one of your posts about something as you invited disagreement - you actually were playing devil's advocate I think rather than arguing your true views.)

Generally though, I'm here for games and cat videos ;-) Life is good.
