You might want to point to an example of Haus' racism. Like, an actual example, rather than him saying that you're a bit thick and you deciding that the only reason for it is because you come from a different part of the world than him.
If you can't, then pack in the baseless accusations right now.
Well, following the "concentrate on what they did, not on what they are" line of reasoning, I didn't say Haus was racist, I said that Portuguese-speakers at large were feeling like he was saying or acting in a racist fashion, and that he should make a pause and make an effort to examine such fact. As such, i accuse no one of actually being racist. But, hey, if you want an example of what I'm saying, this comment right here:
I keep getting sidetracked on that by my burning hatred of the East Timorese in Tetum.
is an example of what I'm saying. People in East Timor has underwent a couple of very nasty decades due to their cultural identity, and using them as a sarcastic way of telling Portuguese speakers off is a no-no in my book.
Already, I think we have a reading problem, or a reporting problem. What I said was that your attempts to rot the thread were aggressive, which seems self-explanatory to me.
Well, it's not. It's a baseless accusation, a "frivolous claim" based on prejudiced opinion about me, as you state yourself:
In the context of your role in another thread in which geekulation about Heath Ledger's death had run beyond baseline taste and decency, your arrival in the immune response feels pretty aggressive.
So, because we had a fight in another, loosely-related thread, my pointing out that your sense of humor was on a weak day in that threat must have being aggressive? Now, that's not a rational argument. I was trying to spare you a lot of unnecessary trouble. And you probably should have listened.
And I'm not even sure on what you mean with "geekulation". I only expressed how awful was his death using the Joker as a reference, and later linked to an article that related insomnia problems with and accidental overdose of sleeping pills. It was other people who started talking about he Joker's psychic power and stuff like that 9which I kept trying to point out it was not what I meant). but we've been over this at least five times already, so screw that, you'll never believe me anyway.
I seem to have managed to get on with Alex Thoth, Impulsivelad, Money Shot while he was out of his tree and Pacha Perplexa (before your time, which is probably for the best because woman), to name but a few, all of whom spoke Portuguese.
The fourth person I was mentioned was Pacha. Alex Thoth, Impulsivelad I did not know, so kudoz, It was not 3 out of 4, it was 3 out of 6. Sooo much better.
Money Shot was not included in that figure because his primary language was not Portuguese, but English. And, on a side note, he told by PM before leaving for good that he was going to leave due to the "high level of snide and arrogance" [I'm paraphrasing] in the board, which still pissed me of about all who signed up to such attitude, the so-called "barberoyals" (Haus included), but that is another thread completely, and one I don't care about to start.
Also, as we have already mentioned, Portuguese is a language, not an ethnicity. If you are saying that I hate all speakers of the Portuguese language, then (a) that isn't racism so much as linugistic chauvinism and (b) you are, although this is not uncovering any deep secrets, an idiot. As I asked before, does this mean that I also hate Angolans? The dreaded men from Macau? They race dogs, you know.
Again, with the attitude. Ok, not racism, just a more generalistic prejudice, then. Is that more acceptable to you?
The term "euthanasia" seems to suggest (to me) a concerted effort to finally put the site out of its misery. Is that what you're suggesting is happening?
No, I'm suggesting it just looks that way, but that's certainly accidental. To think there is actually a ploy afoot to that end would be conspiracionist paranoia. But still, it does look that way, which is bad enough |
