Lenny,
I assume that by changing the title you see my post as random flaming. It is not
at all random and nor is it flaming. You have irritated me with your
holier-than-thou attitude and I have merely pointed out some of your character
flaws.
| |
| |
PS. Your dictation of what is valid and invalid humour based entirely on
your own cultural prejudices borders on racism.
|
Am I not free to make my own judgement as to what I think is valid? Am I
not free to express that judgement where I see fit? I don’t make any claim
to be the absolute authority on what is or isn’t valid humor. I have
expressed my opinions of Richie’s MOC as honestly as possible in a sincere
attempt to help him grow as a builder through constructive criticism. I have
never made a post with the intent to start a fight, on the contrary, I have
tried to move past this issue and reach a resolution. Richie questioning my
use of the word “sensitivity” is what brought this up again, in what I think
is a very obvious move to bait me.
|
You can make whatever judgements you want to make. As can I. We seem to have
a difference of opinion here though but since all our opinions are valid then I
assume you will extend me the same courtesy you expect yourself and let me have
them. Perhaps you’l extend that courtesy to everyone and let everyone have their
own opinion without them requiring the Leonard Hoffman stamp of approval.
| |
And I wouldn’t be so bold with the use of “racism” if I were you.
Establishing me as a racist just because you might not agree with all of my
opinions is insulting and ignorant. Such extremist labeling is just as
racist and bigotred as the racism you are accusing me of.
|
I don’t recall calling you a racist Lenny. In fact, I did not. I said some of
your behaviour “bordered on racism” which is a whole lot different to saying you
are a racist (meaning you regularly exhibit actual racist behaviour). And if
you think that saying that is extremist, you have a very limited view of the
world and I suggest you get out more. Perhaps read some newspapers too. Then you
can find out what an extremist is.
You have accused me of racism AND bigotry which is more ‘extreme’ than what I
said about you. I think that might be a little hypocritical don’t you? Squealing
and complaining does not make your argument correct, nor does it make you
intelligent, it just makes you look like a prima donna at best and a toddler at
worst.
| |
If you have a problem with my cultural prejudices, please highlight them and
refute them rather than simply calling them racist.
-Lenny
|
Why would I bother doing this. If I do it, you will ‘refute’ each one of them
with your cunning logic and if I don’t you will say that there is nothing. Since
neither gains me anything I will choose the path of least effort.

| (...) Actually, I saw my post as random flaming. But I feel that my recent posts have been over the line, despite whatever good intentions I may have had, so I had them cancelled. Please take that as a sign of my regret for what I've said. -Lenny (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
