Not a personal insult. Is a personal insult, missed. Good news is we've added a new mod to the team so hopefully this won't happen as much. Not a personal insult. Not a personal insult. Not a personal insult. Not a personal insult. Not a personal insult. Not a personal insult. Not a personal insult. Not a personal insult.
I try to keep things very simple when looking for personal insults. To my mind personal means directed at someone. Dviss said, "Balls in your mouth all of you." But didn't actually name someone(s). If he would have said Barfo, Riverman, and Sly have balls in their months I would have considered that a personal insult. All of you could have meant Portland, this forum, everyone in this thread, the USA, the world. A lot of times I let things go because I try to give people the benefit of doubt. Cippy called Divss a racist. Also said Dviss is being a racist. That is a personal insult. Also I really don't know what to do about the racist posts. The KFC post was considered racist. If you notice I didn't touch that. I don't really look for racism in posts. I don't really want to look for racism in posts. Kinda of like what happened with the KFC post, you guys handled that yourselves. What I would like is just everyone having a more calm discussion about race when the subject comes up. Shouldn't really need a mod to come in and police that or pick a side.
He didn't actually call riverman a racist over the pork muslim stuff. I'd have to double check though
Okay but when I talked to Dviss today both publicly and privately he stopped. When I talked to Cippy not only did he stop, he escalated. He did not...
Just because you have black friends, think x black person is great. Doesn't mean you're not a racist. Prime example. Calling someone a black victim. Why do you have to add color in? Can't you just say he's playing the victim and make the same point? But you choose to bring his skin color into the equation. Then you get upset when people say you're being racist. Dviss says some off the wall things, and does look for ways to feel slighted at times. But that makes him no different from other posters on this forum. Dviss receives backlash for generalizing as well. Just because you don't see it in the public forum. Doesn't mean it isn't happening.
Marzy, I like you man. I only call out overt racism when it is, well, overt and quite public. And I would still grab a beer with you. I got sick around the time of our proposed meet up and just wanted to stay in bed with my fever. I would gladly meet up in person . Sometimes written word can be misread, and I fall victim to that as much as anybody else. Talking in person can let you know someone's true colors, and I have no doubt that you are a good person. Sometimes, your written words can come across as a bit racially insensitive. It doesn't happen often, but when I see it, I see it. Like I said, I'm as guilty as anyone else in reading into other people's written word. As an example, @MARIS61 And his wife visited me whilst I was living in Florida. We have polar opposite political ideas. But that doesn't matter if you have a couple of decent human beings meeting up. We hung out on the beach, talked about the wildlife, dipped our feet into the Gulf, ate oysters, etc. It was a good day. I would give you the same treatment, my man. And you know what? I'm sorry if I've read things into your statements here that weren't part of your intention. It's hard not to do occasionally. I would still happily grab a beer with you at any time. There is more that brings us together than separates us.
What's funny is, do you know what trash heap I'm talking about? THE TRASH HEAP FROM FRAGGLE ROCK!!!! If anything that's a compliment because the trash heap knows all and tells all.
@bodyman5000 and 1 If a muthafucka says some bullshit to me like: "Your boys in the hood" or "edumacate"... And YOU don't say one fucking word to them, YOU'RE A PART OF THE PROBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION. Those are on page 1 of the racism handbook.
Yup you're a part of the problem. How can you not fucking know??? Like, that can register on @PtldPlatypus radar but not yours?? Why is this???
The DUMBEST SHIT ABOUT THIS IDIOCY, IS THAT I'VE NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT... Edit: and I just took you OFF ignore. I'd bet dollars to donuts more people have YOU on ignore than me. And you know what I NEVER SEE?? You EVER call someone white racist.
