Unsubbing/boycotting/protesting is NOT blackmail.

I'm not giving you my money unless you succumb to my desires and implement that thing I want you to do. If you don't then you won't be getting the money I have that you want....

Seems like blackmail to me.

Boycotting and blackmail mean two completely different things. You might want to look the meaning for them words in a dictionary... Why are sooo many defenders of SE fanatics, ugh.

You sure showed 'em filthy white knights, heh? Who are they to dare say that toxicity is bad.
Besides, if threats, insults and labels went away, what would be left of these forums? It's clearly constructive criticism!

Cause clearly calling people that have a right to boycott childish(an insult), is constructive cristism. Oh and labeling them as blackmailers too. But whatever...

Rage, Sadness and their opposites cloud rational judgement. Even the most rational of individuals may lose themselves in the moment and let their emotions do the talking if they're pushed enough.


Sadly, when an individual(s) do fall to that, it makes their case look rabid and incoherent than reasonable and thought-out.

You might want to look up the word dictionary in a dictionary, because it doesn't mean what you think it means. A dictionary is not prescriptive but descriptive with regards to usage, and that is why dictionaries often list a number of different meanings for a given word (in order to reflect how it is commonly used). A 'fanatical' position would be that 'the' dictionary definition is eternal and inviolable, and that if people are using the word in some other way they're transgressing some the sort of divine edict handed down by Holy Oxfordia Himself.

(By the way, I noticed that you don't have a problem with using the word 'them,' as in 'them words' in a colloquial way. Bit of a double standard.)
