Haus, I'm not entirely sure what should have been done to my mitigating* policeman, all those years ago, and I'm not really sure what ought to be done with the boxer. Perhaps they should be found and fought. If indeed they exist; I can only find one example of the latter name (somewhere there, if anyone really cares) and it ain't a boxer.
But it is nice to have the former perennially brought up, perhaps in order to prove I am not to be trusted on vital issues of race such as this? Yes, John should have realised this was enormously Anglocentric and now we have two pages of fighty-fighty fun for the lack of a disclaimer.
My primary concern here was, as it often is, to diffuse the levels of ire directed at certain posters (most often noobs) who transgress Barbelith's mores, mostly because I think a gentle(r) telling in lesser cases (which I believe this to be) suffices. What Vladimir said was revolting, and dealt with accordingly, and I don't think John or I really need to see our names in a roll of shame alongside it.
*Incidentally, not really used to mitigate, per se, given I did not and do not use the term that was then in question. Except in a debate about it's lingual properties, during which I attempted to offer up an argument for a side I've little affinity to. Please exhume that Head Shop thread if you have anything further to say on that particular topic, where I promise I will discuss it, and desist with the annual naming and shaming. Thanks. |
