Ok I see the distinction you're making between being a reformer and imposing will on others. That makes a lot of sense.

    I'm pointing out that if you like comics, go to a comics store. If you want to open a comics store, open a comics store. But don't open a comics store because you want to buy comics. Stores are a lot of work.
Alright I get that. Stores certainly are a lot of work, and finding what you're looking for is certainly easier than trying to create it.

    Let's be clear - I'm not advocating "never change things."
Well surely not. I was having some trouble understanding exactly what you were advocating for, that's all.

    I dunno. I'm frankly appalled that a flippant three sentence comment in response to the question "should you move or create your ideal community" has me painted as some sort of jim crow apologist. Feelin' awfully mutey this morning.

Huh. I was just looking for some clarity there. Racial division was the first example that came to mind, I had no intention of painting you as a "Jim Crow apologist..." Mute away I suppose if I've so terribly offended, and you've taken it so personally, but that was not what I had in mind.
