Marriage Quest finally on the horizon! Yay!

Doesn't matter regardless, their statement (part I quoted) is what provokes these threads to turn for the worst and get locked. Whether their opinion is considered right or wrong, it's far from a tactful approach.

Ok, so because some people who have legitimate reasons for being wary act a little annoying that means their stance is wrong? Because that is what is being attacked. It isn't "calm down, you're right" it is "calm down and now I don't want you to have what you want".

The comment quoted was completely nonconstructive and provokes the opposite opinion to counter. Which in fact it did. Its comments like that which lead threads like this to being locked, ever since Beta Phase 1.

Their first comment which I intentionally didn't quote was their legitimate opinion.

My opinion as far as side on the topic didn't even come into play. I have no side on the matter.

Ok, so what does that have to do with the comment you quoted. You took out a single part of what I said an replied to it? Out of context quoting because? My point is yes those people are annoying, but they are right. And for some unkown reason you derailed the topic even further by saying so what they are still annoying.

Since 2.0 Beta Phase 1 there have been 100s of threads regarding Same Sex Marriage ingame. Past practice of everyone being locked and hidden due to overzealous opinions from both sides becoming uncivil and ill mannered.

I agree that LGBT people can get overzealous in their cause, but it is a just one.

My point is yes those people are annoying, but they are right.

Being uncivil, using an untactful approach, and breaking forum etiquette is no excuse no matter how just or right a cause is.

Straight people flaunt their sexuality enough without having yet another thing they can hold over everyone else.

This comment is just as discriminating as many of its opposition.

Also see Shioban's post above.

Repeating again, I am neutral on the subject and it is a sensitive one here.

You're taking things out of context. Again. I'm not saying they have a right to break the forum rules. I am saying discuss the issue not their behavior. This is like watching political mud slinging. You are attacking the speakers and not their points. You don't like how they act? Fine, report it. Don't turn the thread into a fight against their behavior when that isn't what this topic is about.

What started as a simple discussion thread based on new information regarding the "marriage system" (none of which detailed gender specific unions) as any thread regarding the subject has again derailed into a two sided discussion about same sex (for/against), way before my original post.

Again, the true issue is: The thread will be locked and hidden due to the behavior already shown by both sides because the forum community cannot carry a mature or civil discussion.

I am done explaining over a year of past practice to you from the forum community and SE. The debate has been beaten to death and there is nothing new the community has brought to the table from both sides of the subject as there is no new info from SE regarding sex/gender of the marriage system.

That is my true point.

The marriage system update was announced and info regarding it, including statements by Yoshi himself about same-sex marriage. Seems like a pretty normal progression of this thread. Much like SE is making this a big deal by not allowing it, you are making a big deal of a single statement by bringing it up over and over. Just let it go. You know why the threads are closed? Because it becomes derailed like this. Obviously I am contributing too, but I am trying to turn it back towards the issue, you keep turning it back to a statement. It wasn't even a bad statement. If wasn't the best to be made, but it wasn't a flaming one. (No pu-- nevermind.)
