Aka "Special Rules for Special People."

Though started on the occasion of multiple examples in a Market-Related thread of Board Members, regarding US Women's Soccer Players' insertion of their personal politics into the sport, taking pro/con positions, it is my hope that Board Members will use this or other threads to express positions so apparently deeply-felt and clearly Off-Topic.

The point of this thread, its "raison d'etre," is to provide a forum for exposing / supporting / objecting to what has become a rampant pattern in modern discourse in the West, namely appeal to a justification I name "Special Rules for Special People" for societally-significant application of Double Standards and Relativism.

I cannot move the relevant posts entire to this thread, so the following post "quotes" the un-conversation as it has so far developed and my commentary thereon.

Let the lambasting of me, or anyone else who may object to such Double Standards and Relativism, occur here rather than as a distraction from market-related commentary.
