Nov 30, 2017secretgiant posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemThis article is wrong to characterize anyone with sympathies to dimensions to complex problems as Nazi-lovers. Freedom of speech is a legal right, but harassment is sometimes illegal. People who say things we disagree with should be countered in a principled way or ignored. If speakers are mercilessly harassed (I don't know if Hambly was genuinely harassed) for their speech, that is not ok. I believe Sprankle has been insulted for sexual and gender reasons and I don't respect Hambly's position on how to characterize women. Behavior like Hambly's is known to exclude women from all kinds of environments, so I don't doubt that sometimes women avoid MTG because they don't want to be treated like animals. But harassing him as revenge accomplishes nothing good. It reveals that the friends of women in our community agree with these methods. The way deal with things we don't agree with are as important as our beliefs. Men in our community that hate women are harassers, it seems, and some of the men that defend women are harassers too.Posted in: Articles
People like Hambly and his speech and behavior should be condemned by the community and members of the community must stop tolerating an anti-female environment.

Gideon might not make it.
Go cry. Standard is full of 10-cent rares and the packs are $4. This is a weird anti-Jace boycott.
Karrthus isn't crunched out, but we already have Prossh, a Jund dragon, and we're running out of space at mythic.

It is too good to be true.
Wrong. Some of these Unstable cards are functionally different.
I remember when I saw this card for the first time I thought, how nice, a representation of a female player. I wonder how violent the opposition will be to this?
Thanks buddy. That's a pretty neutral-sounding summary. I just couldn't dig into this today because I've been buy with class.
I know that in our society there is a controversy about how men should organize criticisms of women, especially the on gender and sex reasons. Same when the difference is religion, race, etc. Some think being very rude is fine, others think not. From what little I did see about this case on my own, including reading the thread, a lot of the vocabulary from both sides of this debate are being deployed.
I don't want to hear too much about hearsay, but I have a question - is it thought that women generally feel welcome in the mtg community or do they experience gender problems? It's mostly men playing in the Des Moines and Minneapolis/St. Paul areas.
