The real question is, do black lives matter or do they mattress?

@M.A.R. Erm ... not sure what you are trying to say here ... but that might be considered offensive ...

Way to ruin a joke. Who would it be offensive to?

@M.A.R. Well I don't think it's funny ... and offensive to black people?

O.o

Which part is denigrating?

@M.A.R. I personally don't find it offensive, but making jokes about hotly contested political topics may not be the best idea if a room is not for discussing politics.

It could be interpreted as mocking the slogan.

@M.A.R. Comparing black lives to mattresses?

Don't think it's worth making a big deal out of, just slap @M.A.R. with a wet trout and we're good

slapped @M.A.R. with a dry trout

@Mithical I'm not making a fuss, just pointing out that it's not a nice thing to joke about ...

There are a lot of "Group X lives matter", why not "All lives matter"; why one before others isn't a slight to the remainder.

@MetaAndrewT. For maximum effect you are supposed to use a wet trout ...

@DavidPostill I know and happen to agree

wet anchovy...

@ArtOfCode 1851 vs. 1865 ...

@DavidPostill It's just a pun. It's not comparing anything to anything.

I happen to be in a part of the world that doesn't care. So I know for a fact that I'm not racist.

I'm open to correction when I am, but this is certainly not one of those times.

{sigh}

@DavidPostill Streisand effect in the small right here.

I don't agree with the sentiment of, say, "white lives matter", because it's yet another coy disguise for disagreeing with the sentiment of the whole thing.

@M.A.R. The point is there are many people who do care ...

@DavidPostill Okay. They care about injustice in the judiciary system. In the social standards. In whatever else a skin color is considered "inferior" to another. My message has nothing denigrating the cause, it contains nothing undermining the injustice.

I'd say drown it in meaningless witty remarks or ignore and move on. As I have no particular reason to be here, bye for now.

I wanted to do the same but I saw there's an implicit assumption here that I'm being labelled something and I do need to clear that on my part.

@ArtOfCode Ah yeah, the good old house that's so far on fire that it can't be saved anyways, yet we're not saving the neighboring building ;)

I think it's time to move some things to trash.

I guess.

shrugs I did not jump to conclusions

@AnnZen What do you want to achieve with the appeal?

To clear my name, obviously.

Did you not know the account of your sibling?

?

What do you mean?

You said it was your siblings account

Did you know it before suspension?

@Dharman My sibling did nothing wrong either.

But you interacted with each other. You should have known better not to answer each others posts

Is there a rule against it?

We welcome both you and your siblinng on this site as long as both of you are over 13 and you do not interact with each other.

We can't tolerate any sign of cronyism

Hey y'all. (@Dharman I don't think you were here last time this was said, so I'm not scolding or anything) but talk of this suspension (and generally all suspensions) is off-topic here. Please move it somewhere else. @AnnZen I know you didn't bring it up, but please remember it.

@Rubiksmoose Sorry, I did not read this room's FAQ

@Dharman New room?

@Dharman No worries! I'm not even sure if it is in the FAQ, but it's something the mods/ROs have discussed about this exact issue before. I can understand you not knowing that naturally.

@AnnZen I don't really want to discuss this because I am not a mod, but if you need some more information I can help you find it.

@Rubiksmoose I will punish myself and leave this room now. Thanks

@Dharman You don't have to do that XD

Oh well, there they go. Safe travels.
