I think that Safira's post sums it up rather aptly. If you get lost in my ramblings, feel free to refer to her post.
Jan, Bloodworthy, you shouldn't pick on someone else's issues as a way to reinforce your own argument. Everyone here can make their own statement on the issue, whether they agree or disagree, and their own lifestyle and thread should have no impact on whether or not they can speak here, not to mention your posts were borderline insulting. Don't do it again.
That said, Liv, while you shouldn't have to receive flak because of another thread you made and because of your lifestyle, your first post was insensitive, so I wouldn't be too surprised at some of the replies you're getting.
In an ideal world, of course, everyone would have thick skin and be able to completely ignore what would otherwise be hurtful comments, or what they perceive as hurtful comments, even if they aren't in reality. However, this isn't an ideal world, and when people already have issues it does no good to prod at them in such a manner. This applies to both Liv and the OP.
What's worth mentioning, however, is that just because someone doesn't agree with your post doesn't mean they're not taking you seriously. People are entitled to an opposing opinion, and you shouldn't get offended over it (unless of course the post is blatantly offensive, which has been the case for one or two here, but just live and let live; no point making the argument worse by jumping at the bait). While some of the disagreeing posts are a little insensitive, I don't think they're that big of a deal.
As you can see, I think that everything that has happened in this thread is a lot more overstated than it should be. The worst thing of all is people flaming and bursting into argument over one comment which could otherwise be ignored. If you have grievances with one another over things said in this thread, you should really drop them; it isn't worth it. Continue to discuss the potential for games to cause ADHD and such, certainly, but there's no reason to continue the other arguments. Further off-topic arguing will end up with this thread being closed.
