OK, it's on.
Eh, some questions.

In case it was lost on you, I'm more trying to say that if the crux argument is that opinions should be evaluated on their individual merit, notwithstanding contextual circumstances, then a nation of origin is equally as irrelevant as the individuality of the individual.

The identifier of a person is unequal to the identifier as a person of origin so and so.
I am a person, i have my opinions and so forth, but what i am against is that by associating an individual with their nation, they somehow become representative of the nation in question. That's what i'm against. My nation is not me, and i am not my nation. Period.

@elliptoid: apparent obscured identity guaranteed by the forum and technically consistent anonymity through encryption are not the same.

Tone it down both of you.
@washti
The hostility is unwarranted. I agree with your position but your aggression is entirely uncalled for.
@Salmoneus
You aren't your flag, or your post count, or your join date.
It's just information. Once people are discriminating against each other based on that little flag, we'll reconsider. Until then, try not to melt in the sun.
I'm leaving this thread open because some people were being reasonable, but if anyone gets aggressive again they're going on holiday.

But yeah, some of the changes to the forum seems to be whims of ragnar (?) or just automatic updates which he didn't care to alter (?)
At least you weren't here the couple of days where you could pinpoint a user's exact house on a map to a stalkingly and serial murderer's accurate degree
That being said, I don't think most people here would give a shit about other people's nations (/current living place)?
I understand the concern for privacy, however. Since the information of nationality is unimportant (in topics where it is, you can inform of it if you want), I don't think it should be available. But it's not a big deal so I don't care more than privately thinking it's unnecessary. And publicly saying it in this thread.
