Please raise your objections with Freeman on the land on the relevant talk page, instead of editwarring. Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 06:10, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
- I'd just block xem. Fidgetertalk to me :D 06:23, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
- We're a pretty sad community if we can't talk down a drive-by right-winger.

- 'Talk down'? What, we're going to try to convince xem of the error of xyr ways? Fuckertalk to me :D 06:28, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
- Please just say "they" and "their." "Xem" and "xyr" are forced failures of words. Adapt the language you have, instead of awkwardly soldering new bits on.

- Never! Flubbertalk to me :D 06:51, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

- I don't enjoy it, per se, but really, it doesn't bother me that much. And you have to remember, most parts of our language were new and probably seen as awkward at one time. I'm just taking an approach that's perhaps less natural than the norm. Fidgetertalk to me :D 06:59, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
- No parts of the language you're familiar with were ever seen as awkward. Every bit of it fulfilled some need that people had, some aspect of life that existing words didn't adequately address (e.g. "blog"). No one resisted the use of the word "blog." Reactions varied from "What's a blog? ...Oh, that that sounds [whatever]" to "Is that what it's called?" New slang is readily accepted and promoted by those who want to be seen as hip. Contrast that with any of the dozen engineered gender-neutral pronouns out there, and the active resistance they meet from anybody outside of the tiny, tiny subculture, that desperately pumps out new variations of them every year.
