1	What is so hard about just being decent to everybody? The only solution is to be honest about your unreasonableness. I think this is a good sentiment, but it is hard because as you said people tend to think that they are being reasonable even if they aren't. I would suggest that it is also important to try to be as tolerant and forgiving as you can of [what you perceive as] other people's unreasonableness.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/10/13 01:24 AM
2	What is so hard about just being decent to everybody? That's not the only definition of harass. For example from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/harass harass: to annoy or bother (someone) in a constant or repeated way or harass: to create an unpleasant or hostile situation for (someone) especially by uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct or harass: to annoy persistently In point of fact, rape is a crime, and to "label" someone as a "rapist" is to assert that they are a criminal. Have all, most, or any redpillers been convict…	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/10/13 01:20 AM

1	[serious]The Distilled Essence of TRP According to Someone Who PM'ed Me Angrily. TRP--is this What You Believe? If Not, Please Explain that to TBP I don't think changing or hiding the usernames would be sufficient. I haven't used this name in other subs, and in the thread I mentioned above I hadn't taken a RP or BP position.	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/10/13 01:31 AM
1	What is so hard about just being decent to everybody? You don't think calling people "rapists and misogynists" is harassment? Or that that isn't the purpose of TBP?	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/10/13 12:11 AM
2	[serious]The Distilled Essence of TRP According to Someone Who PM'ed Me Angrily. TRP--is this What You Believe? If Not, Please Explain that to TBP Possibly. Re-reading my post, I think I sounded a bit harsher than I meant to be. But on the other hand, in one the first threads I participated in in this sub, I couldn't get a pair of BPers to agree that you could amend a cooking recipe without rendering the entire recipe meaningless. It made me think they were either not reading what I wrote, or not actually understanding what they were arguing against.	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/10/13 12:03 AM
1	[serious]The Distilled Essence of TRP According to Someone Who PM'ed Me Angrily. TRP--is this What You Believe? If Not, Please Explain that to TBP I'm non-RP, but I think I understand them somewhat. How did that happen? I read some of their material, and I tried to put myself in their position. This seems to be something that most BPers are unable or unwilling to do.	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/10/13 11:44 PM
1	Surely You're Joking TL;DR: Two simple models for interpreting interactions. One focuses on favors ("Be good to me because I'm good to you!"), the other focuses on requests ("Be good to me because you are invested in me!"). Both approaches can look disrespectful to the other. I wanted to try to explain some of my thinking a little. I'm oversimplifying a bit, but I think that there are two models of interaction at play here. Despite oversimplifying, it still got really long, sorry. I. The first model I'll call the "F…	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/10/13 05:39 PM
3	Surely You're Joking I think I agree with your answer, at least in part. I think Feynman went so far ("bitches", "not worth anything", etc.), to try to compensate for his previous habits and inclinations. I'd be tempted to say that he's overcompensating, but as the story makes clear, even with this preparation he ends up (almost) buying something for Ann. You're discussion of being respectful is important and is part of why I asked this question. Feynman is clear that he thinks he's being disrespectful by not buying…	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/10/13 03:10 PM
2	Game. I think you are misrepresenting this CH post. It seems to me that CH is using this as an example of what not to do, and views it as a hilarious failure, not a "win". CH does note something as positive though, which was the timestamp and length of the woman's responses. She's supposed to be at a party, doing fun things with other people, yet she responds fairly quickly to the man and at length, indicating that however busy she was, responding to the man was more important to her.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/08/13 09:38 PM
2	What's TRP opinion on abortion? You said: "Birth control isn't perfect, though." I am aware, that's why I included the very next sentence: "And as I quoted above, many RPers are pro-choice," referencing the RPers who either didn't see anything wrong with having had an abortion, or who thought it might be positive. I apologize that I didn't elaborate.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/08/13 07:36 PM
0	What's TRP opinion on abortion? I only saw one comment using the the words "irresponsible" or "low-IQ", and that comment was talking about a group of people that the woman does not necessarily belong to. I actually found that sentence of the comment confusing, and I interpreted it as the commenter implying that the woman is probably contained in that group, but not necessarily so. Assuming they are aware that accidents happen then the suggested interpretation would be that they view it as a risk factor, but not a guarantee, th…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/08/13 07:19 PM
1	What's TRP opinion on abortion? When you quoted me you left out the beginning of the sentence which was "The ones with low opinions of the woman", meaning that I was not talking about all RPers in that sentence. As AdmiralRedShirt noted, there are multiple RPers and they don't all want the same thing. Some RPers place high value on their long term relationship partners having a low "number", so those RPers might answer with something like: "Correct, ideally she would not have had sex before being with me." However, I believe t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/08/13 05:37 PM
3	What's TRP opinion on abortion? You said: "This thread is very against abortion, and condemns women who get one." There are a number of comments on that thread that are anti abortion, but also many are pro abortion, for example one person is arguing that judging someone harshly for having an abortion is actually a "starkly Blue Pill position", and another says "I'm more worried that she WON'T have an abortion". I don't agree that the thread is "very against abortion". The RPers there mostly seem to be complaining about people …	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/08/13 04:35 PM

1	Why I think Red Pillers Deserted this sub. Do you intend to also remove the comments that they cited that they found problematic? Or the other comments of banned users?	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/08/13 04:20 PM
0	I think this is kinda cool, so I'll start. What do you think about the 3/2 ratio for affection from the 16 Commandments? If you implement it, has it enhanced your relationship? First: fhqwhgads_ said: "It's meaningless because "You should show slightly less affection towards your girlfriend than she shows to you" changes to "You should read the situation and determine how much affection to show."" They're saying the statement is meaningless. You said: "Because "read the situation and determine how much affection to show" is basic human interaction." You're saying the statement is basic human interaction. These are mutually exclusive. You seem to be agreeing with me, bu…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/08/13 07:33 PM
1	I think this is kinda cool, so I'll start. What do you think about the 3/2 ratio for affection from the 16 Commandments? If you implement it, has it enhanced your relationship? Why is "You should read the situation and determine how much affection to show." a meaningless statement? To say that something is meaningless is a very strong claim. There are whole swathes of art that I don't find to be very meaningful or interesting to me, but I don't claim that they are actually meaningless. In the case of your statement, I don't think it is meaningless, which makes it seem to me like you're contradicting yourself. It might be an unhelpful statement to some people, but I don…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/08/13 08:09 PM
3	I think this is kinda cool, so I'll start. What do you think about the 3/2 ratio for affection from the 16 Commandments? If you implement it, has it enhanced your relationship? You said: "If you're going to tweak 2:3 to fit your relationship, then it's x:y, and all meaning is gone." Redpillschool's making the point (as I interpreted it) that just because you change the numbers slightly, that doesn't mean that "all meaning is gone". For example, if the brownie recipe calls for x amount of sugar, and you use a different y amount of sugar instead, you don't suddenly get something completely different (like chicken instead of brownies). You just get brownies that have more…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/08/13 06:21 PM
2	I think this is kinda cool, so I'll start. What do you think about the 3/2 ratio for affection from the 16 Commandments? If you implement it, has it enhanced your relationship? You do somewhat give the impression of someone who doesn't see meaning because they aren't really looking for meaning. But in case I'm wrong, and for the sake of being constructive, imagine two hypothetical examples: First example: I'm baking cookies following a recipe. Unfortunately I don't have all the same ingredients as the recipe writers, so I make substitutions but try to keep as close to the recipe as possible. The recipe ends up calling for 1 and 3/4 cups of flour, and because I have flo…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/08/13 04:57 PM
