[removed comments on moderation] It is time for me to say goodbye. I will not post in this forum again.

Most quarters? Where is your evidence? But even if it is a majority. In the past, a vast majority were Christians. They were in error. No, you do not. That would be when you have done something rude and you realize you have been rude. There is a vast disagreement here about who has been rude to...

Of course, I never called you 'pronoun police' for that. It was because of: 1. The moral condemnation of those who do not use pronouns as you like. 2. The false and unwarranted accusations against them.

I have been trying to discuss the matter without getting into personal matters, but that makes it difficult. But let me try to put this matter into some perspective, so that perhaps you too can try to understand how uncomfortable some of us can feel as well. In meat space, I interact with...

Yes, the threads tend to get locked, and sometimes I am unable to respond to what is posted right before they get locked - or maybe after. It happens. People can read the threads and assess by themselves who was right. Unfortunately, nearly all will be mistaken, and on your side. But you will...

Those are not mistakes, even assuming for the sake of the argument that Woke English is consistent. The pronoun usage that is not allowed here is nevertheless grammatically correct. And it makes no false statements. I explained why that is so here. I have not seen a single case of that. I...

[removed for consistency] Thanks for drawing my attention to this. It was the wrong thread (though still a good read). The thread I was looking for is this one.

No problem, and it seems I was unclear. I realized you were referring only to post#70. I was asking about TomC's classification because I didn't understand the 'pronoun-anarchists' part, but now I think I do. :)

The word 'police' has more than one usage in English. Terms like 'grammar police', 'word police', etc., are in use. One can ask for clarification when something is not clear, as done in this thread, and that's it. No problem. And there is more than one way of coercing. Making false and...

You made it very clear that you consider the use of pronouns other than the preferred ones rude. You also made it clear that your usage of the pronoun 'it' when referring to me, was not an instance of your being rude unintentionally. It seems rather obvious that you were being rude deliberately...

Yes, you are clearly attacking me. But your point fails entirely. You are apparently trying to show me that I feel offended by your usage of the pronoun 'it' to refer to me. But that is not remotely so. If you, say, actually called everyone 'it' because you like the sound of it or because it is...

I'm not sure whom you mean by "'it". But no matter, the reason I believe that you are part of the pronoun police is that make a public moral condemnation on those who do not use pronouns in the way you want them to; moreover, you accuse them of having nefarious intentions they usually do not have.

Okay, so let me point out what appears to be a potential case of miscommunication here. You claim that the correct pronoun usage depends upon is that person's opinion, so using a pronoun against that opinion would be incorrect. But it would not be grammatically incorrect. Nor would it be a...

As far as I can tell, TomC is part of the pronoun-police, given his moral condemnation of those who do not use pronouns in a way that matches the preferences of the person they are speaking about. Or by 'pronouns police' are you talking about those who would use force or the threat of force...
