Flyboy, I PM'd Haus an apology about my first comment on this thread, as while I was trying to come off as funny, it nwas actually very confrontational. So maybe I'll post it here as well so that we can move on from that first comment.
As said before I have asked Haus about a comment he's made. If you look at the pattern of my posts on these types of board it goes 1) Sarcastic 2) Thought about. I usually say something flippent first, then have to get my point across in further posts. Again, having to do this here which is entirely my fault.
I have read the threads, and if you've read my post to Mr Six you'll see that I do call him up on his reaction to comments. But while everyone seems to be dancing round the actual idea behind this thread - that Haus has pissed a guy off by going OTT on him for a comment which has offended, no, irratated 10 people, I thought maybe I could turn the discusion back onto that, what with that being the idea and all.
Again, this is not a personal attack on Haus, and if it feels that way then again I'm sorry. But, and I love buts in apologies, does it not feel to anybody else, am I entirely on my own in this thinking, that Haus can be OTT in the way he cuts people down, and all we as a board do is stop and cheer. Maybe his reaction isn't always the best way? My point.
Now I've said that what Six said hasn't really bothered me. It's not my place to call him up on a slightly myopic world view. It reads super arrogant in the thread, but so what. If someone wants to call him up on it fine, but is the way Haus did it the right way?
As for Haus being "OTT", I suppose it rather depends what's considered "TT".
I notice this alot on the boards, and I perhaps feel it could be a double standard. I do consider the way in which Haus has responded to be OTT, as I said he's pretty much badgered the guy.
If Six hadn't made the comment, or if he'd taken Wonderstarr's reasoned comments on board within the thread itself, arguably there would've been no Haus with his big pointy snarkstick. Same with creating this thread: build the duelling pitch (ostensibly to end hostilities) and Haus will come.
But seriously - who asked him too? Was in needed?
Your contribution was to trot out the boring old "you must be looking for things to be offended by!" cod-psychology:
You're right about this, and it was a bullshit throwaway remark. Sorry.
t's very difficult, Math, not to start to suspect that you have become one of those people who sees following Haus around looking for an excuse to complain about him
Well, its not so much following him around, more that this stuff just appears on the boards and I comment. I have no problems with Haus, just a small problem with the way he sometimes handles his business.
And flyboy, if you read the entire thread you posted, you might notice a change in my thinking, that I came to understand the reasons behind that. So please don't make out I'm some kind of rape apologist or whatever you're trying to put across, becuase that's quite fucked up.
Id - you're post as beautiful, becuase you completely explained your position in a heartfelt way. I agree that the dehumanising of groups is wrong, and often a way of allowing people to then attack said group. I don't feel this was Six's intention, I believe his comment was an arrogant throwawy line that completely backfired. |
