@ LiSi :

My sister (Serene Girl) isn't here, and I would not presume to speak for her - She would kill me - but here's my take on it :

You are right, of course, and I agree that my sister could have phrased it better. But, in all fairness, I don't think that the generalization came out of nowhere. It was a reaction to certain comments made on the Seddie page earlier today.

A few of the Seddiers were themselves making blanket statements about the Creddiers, saying that they were being hypocritical by not simply letting the Seddiers "have the moment" in the days leading up to and following iOMG, and then saying that the Seddiers should let the Creddiers "have the moment" here.

I'm guessing that my sister took exception to that because she felt it was also hypocritical for the Seddiers to attack anybody who tried to argue against Seddie in iOMG, and then complain about being criticized just for stating their alternative views on the iPWV promo.

In both cases, it was never ALL Creddiers or ALL Seddiers who were doing this, and fair enough, my sister's statements should have been qualified to reflect this.

The statements made by the Creddiers and Seddiers today do not necessarily reflect the views of the communities as a whole. Also, the people who were talking today may not have been the same people who engaged in the relevant behavior during the time surrounding iOMG, in which case, they weren't being hypocritical at all.

As I said, my sister could have phrased it better ... But, as I also said, it didn't come out of nowhere. I believe that what happened here is that she saw other people making blanket statements, and she responded in kind. Not that two wrongs make a right, but it wasn't one-sided.
