Basically, Kay, I was hacked off by that because what is going on in the jokes thread is really quite serious - and it is serious in ways that don't touch you, as a man and a rather empathy-challenged man. And for, you, it was an opportunity to make an idiotic, Gyles Brandreth little joke about how a very minor point was the annoying thing about it.
Ah, gotcha. As it happens, what I really found annoying about that thread was a) that your mate Flyboy appeared to have licence to exercise his potty-mouth and b) as I more-or-less agreed with what he was saying, I didn't feel like calling him on it. Besides which, of course, I wouldn't want to get into another of these tit-for-tat rants you appear to love so well.
Your own scholarly I weed on it. With my dick. seems a little idiotic to me, but no doubt you had a cunning reason for injecting it into that really quite serious thread, hmm? Perhaps you're empathy challenged? It might explain your perpetual treatment of this discussion forum as a battlefield, after all.
(And a joke based on false premises, since a) une femme blonde is perfectly good French, and b) the reasons for the phrase "a blonde woman", and the significance of that construction, are clear in the thread).
Er, righto. Except that we're talking English, in which blonde is blonde and blond is blond.
This is irksome for a number of reasons. Most obviously, it is irksome because it trivialises the very serious question of misogyny on Barbelith.
Yes, er, well, I wouldn't want to wee on it, would I?
Anyway, congratulations on your subsequent attempt to reopen an old battle you believe ((EDIT : "to be worthwhile fighting now" )) - no doubt due to your erroneous assumption that I was attempting some sort of parallel myself, a perhaps excusable mistake from someone whose approach to the forum is so Byzantine that he has a Five Point Plan of How To Be A Cock To People (which you have the gall to rationalise as some kind of "tough love"!). Unfortunately, I've no desire to talk about it any further with you, as given your feeling (which you've made abundantly clear, even through your usual weaselspeak) that...
I have long since despaired of getting you to show an iota of self-criticism or self-awareness - if this was ever going to happen, it would have happened by now.
...there doesn't appear much point in doing so. And then you attempt to affirm that...
it remains the case that you have pulled off the difficult sleight-of-hand of being an unapologetic apologist for your own unexamined race-based generalisations on Barbelith.
...well, you're welcome to your opinion on that, but, fortunately for the board, you're not quite as important as you seem to imagine - why, one of the most useful things anyone has ever said to me here was making precisely that point - and I've spent an awful lot of time talking with people around that point, but hey. It's not like you care.
Confronted with this, rather than consider for a moment that you might be displaying unconscious prejudice, you tried to insult, belittle, lie and sweep away with an Augean tide of horse dung the concerns of a number of people, most of whom have added more to Barbelith on the average wet Thursday than you have in your time here. Flyboy, id entity, alas, Eggs - oh, and all these other people.
Good heavens, your mate Flyboy? He of you are as dumb as a lobotomised pig that's been fucked in the brains by the corpse of Robert Anton Wilson and similar gutterances (and I need scarcely mention his assertion that (paraphrased) geography and climate are unimportant to a country's economy, which I fondly remember)? Let's see more of that, please do! I'd rather see that than insults and belittling, hell yeah.
(id and alas, I'll grant you those; I'm not sure who Eggs is, although if Eggs is Pegs is Illmatic then I'll grant you them as well)
So, I would say that it was entirely needful abuse.
Yes, you would, wouldn't you?
Etc. etc. etc.
No, I'm not going to look back at posts from a year ago. I don't have and don't wish for the stamina and interest in doing so that you so abundantly possess. If I implied, all that time ago, that you'd said something you didn't actually say, then I'm sorry. You might take back some of the crap you came out with back and things you made up yourself, and if you do so, you will have my heartfelt apology. In the meantime, let's move away from that sadly unlikely possibility and on to something indisputable, and demonstrated by your every word:
You, Haus, are a hypocrite. You assume others to be playing the same games as you, and treat that as being the epitome of Wrongness. You allow your friends leeway you do not allow the people you love to be your enemies. You accuse people of crying "persecution!" - and then you - as above - wade in with no justification beyond your own erroneous belief in your wannabe do-good-by-being-a-prick programme. You claim not to instigate endless fights with people - and yet you blatantly do engage them, time and time again. (Which is not to say that you're always wrong to do so, f'sure.)
But hey. You %know% I %wanted% to get into a fight with you, 'cause you %know% I secretly have a crush on you, right? I wanted you to have a go at me, yeah? Isn't that your belief?
Huh. Forty-five minutes down the drain. On you. I know that's a mutual feeling, so how about we just call truce again, hmm? I don't really want to read your dissembling answers to any questions I've posed above; I guess you think that's a mutual feeling, too. So why don't we stop boring the nice people, hein? |
