I have only been active on hexbear since last year, and checking in from time to time before that, so some of the taglines don't make any sense to me. Can someone please explain?

Thank you! But like, why were these topics struggle sessions? puzzled

Cats kill birds, lizards and small mammals at a truly ridiculous rate and have caused the extinction of several such species. Rock stacking is a problem because sometimes stacked rocks are used as a marker either by natives or the national parks service and you making a bunch of fakes could end up causing confusion. Like setting up fake signs at a hiking trail. It also risks damaging the habitats of small animals.

Both of these arguments were contrasted with arguments about personal autonomy and how little damage is done by each individual who does this, compared to other forms of damage that can be done, and an argument followed.

I mean, I think this description is pretty strawmanny and not a fair representation of the struggle session, but I'll say no more because this thread is already bait enough.

I could obviously have framed things differently, but no part of what I said was wrong or misrepresenting either side.

Well, maybe one of us is misremembering/misinterpreted, but I posted in both struggle sessions and I completely disagree with your representation of the sides.
