| Sep 1, 2017 at 12:13 | comment | added | Jesterscup | I don't disagree @Shog9 , and I accept my comment is sheer pedantry. I was perhaps heavy handed with my use of humour in the comment. I was criticising a very minor point, the answer states that if you ever see the term used its being used to demean people, and that's not always the case. and reclaiming a label does not mean you can't be part of an active and healthy discussion | |

| Aug 31, 2017 at 22:06 | comment | added | Shog9 | Whether or not you "own" the label is kinda irrelevant, @Jesterscup; if a conversation has degraded to the point where we've stopped looking to improve communication and are just applying (or wearing) labels, this site has stopped serving its purpose. | |
| Aug 31, 2017 at 11:33 | comment | added | Jesterscup | For the record, I proudly wear the mantle of 'SJW' because, yes it is a pejorative term, and generally the way to deal with these is to reclaim them. and when the uprising comes I'll be proudly up against the wall with my flaming sword of 'political correctness' | |
| Aug 31, 2017 at 3:24 | comment | added | Shog9 | I mostly agree with this... Except for the closing. If the answer can be edited to remove the grandstanding, don't wait for a moderator to do it - fix it ASAP. The longer it sits, the more it stands to detail the entire question. If you're 100% convinced it can't be fixed, then downvote and then flag (as abusive or not an answer, whichever fits). Vote to delete if you can. Mods will pick up the slack for whatever other users cannot, but they're a poor first line of defense. | |
