Oh boy. "Fugitive of the Judoon" really missed the mark. (like, one spoiler) by

So, the very first Doctor is now a black woman, right? Right, so apparently all black people secretly desire to be a white man twelve times over. Because that's what this is really saying. She'll regenerate into Hartnell, and then proceed to remain white and male for twelve iterations. In trying to be progressive, this episode actually is really gorram racist. I'm really trying to avoid feeling glee that they've really screwed their own argument for why Doctor Who should be like this, but I'm failing.
If this is what Chibnall is going to give us, then I'm all for him staying around a bit longer. Please, Chibbs, give us some more funny stuff to laugh at. Please, tarnish your reputation as a writer even further. I'll be waiting with some popcorn.

Many a psychologist has commented that I- along with most other neurodiverse individuals- have trouble expressing things in shades of grey, so to speak. I’m self-aware enough to realise this, and I do recognise it’s a problem.
Just one I’m struggling to fix.

People were asking you to stop making these kind of posts. What kind of posts did you think they meant?
I wanted to know because I thought you understood.
If you want to talk about this through email, let me know.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that you could also DM me on Discord if you prefer.

"burst sewer main impersonation"? Really? That's solidly out of line, and I don't think we'd stand for people using similar words to talk about anyone else. It doesn't help anything, just makes a community a little more toxic.
(I have words for Minh, too, but those will take a bit more time to write up.)

If Doctor Who wanted to be diverse, they'd have picked a ginger for their 13th Doctor. Only 2% of humanity is ginger. ~50% is female. Why not a ginger man or woman? ;)

You seem to think I said "I would like you to explain your position more clearly over multiple Board posts."
What I meant was "I do not care a whit for your nuclear takes and I am not alone in this, knock it the hell off."
My apologies for not being clear.

You need to chill. And considering you were nearly banned from the PPC for it last time you were here, claimed you changed upon coming back, and then multiple times demonstrated you haven’t, I’m honestly considering re-opening that vote, because I am sick and tired of your constant crap.

The mere fact that this conversation exists is mentally draining enough I feel lightheaded when I think about it. I do not want this to happen again.

Or fourthing, or whatever the number is. I hereby make it known that I think re-opening the vote is a good idea that should be acted upon.

The fact that CZM has continually ignored requests to stop after supposedly changing is concerning and frustrating to me. I'd like to see some indication that this behavior will stop, because it's becoming increasingly frustrating. I'd like to see evidence that CZM is even aware of the numerous comments on each post saying to please stop the behavior they were asked to stop by a vote.

I'd like to see any evidence that CZM has noticed that flooding the board with similar threads rather than consolidating is considered poor form.

The impression I got from Minh's post was that it was the other Discord - the wossname, Whateley Academy - that was doing that. I certainly would prefer to believe that's the case. :)

Sometimes you can't even keep the smallest candle burning. Luckily 'I hope that didn't happen' is a fairly small hope to have extinguished, in the scheme of things, especially in light of Delta's comment.

I dug through the Discord briefly - the only "talking behind Minh's back" I could find started when someone linked to their own post in this thread, asking "is this too much?" I understand the "lets be transparent" rule, but does it really extend to never even mentioning anything happening on the Board?
There was some ranty language used in that thread- I quote, "I assume that's what Minh's referencing, but this involves him actually, like thinking so i'm not holding my breath," but that's the worst I could find - and it's milder than language that has been used here, to Minh's face, without protests raised.
