Cause @HCP has a fucking sense of humor. Coincidentally he can crack on crackas all day and no one gives a fuck because he doesnt get butt hurt unless you talk about gun rights. @EL PRESIDENTE goes hard on cracka ass crackas but its ok cause when he does the math, the equation is balanced
That isn't even remotely what the thread is about. The OP asked you why you don't put them on ignore. Not that I'm saying you should.
I take it as "Let us insult each other all we want in the OT section, or close it down" Which is ridiculous.
Lesson not apparently learned: when you lock a thread, it only starts another even longer one. Someone's overthinking things. NateBishop has it right in the first post.
I took it as "waaah waaaah. I'm not allowed to be a jerk" Wait, no sorry. Thats what I said to my boss yesterday.
I do not quite know how to address this but it does seem like there is a deep cultural divide between us that stems from where we live an more perhaps how we live, with even a larger part caused by what our interests are. I truly do not know what some of this racist things are in dviss hand book. Nor am I of any mind to learn. I do not intent to harm him but I do not intend to learn the code anymore than I intend to learn to speak French. I still don't get the KFC thing. But it does ring a bell of how I may have step in it years ago. I have told this tale before so I will make it shorter. I set up a class dinner way back in 1961 in Lexington, KY. I didn't know shit about racism in that day either, and the guides at the Henry Clay house had told me there was none in Lexington. Well I got reservations at the consensus favorite Steak house but when we arrived in small groups they would not let the two Black guys in the class in the establishment! I took the whole group out of there to the Blue OX , Colonel Sanders' original Kentucky Fried Chicken place. The black guy bitched to the Boss of the IBM school about my insensitivity. Well fuck! I did the best I could think of at the moment. But did I step in it with the KFC thing here? I still don't know why! Not that intend to learn the code book, but I am curious about this one? I think there is more to this picture too in the differences between people that live in the City and those that do not. More in the type of people we are as I think we choose where we prefer to be and we perceive culture differently too. But for another day.
To me the ignore button solves a lot of these ping pong ugly ass arguments....I do think the insult rule should be used in the OT section like the Blazers section and I do think some folks around here should get the ban hammer......thing is these long drawn out arguments get Denny a lot of hits on the site.........maybe it's intentional!!! I read the site when I'm not logged in and it always amazes me how much people I have on ignore continue to insult me even when I don't engage them here....fact....the place gets ugly in OT....I think it keeps a lot of quality posters away from the site....I have no problem with smack talk if it's just smack talk but there's a contingency of members who take themselves way too seriously for a social media site...merging some of these threads would help...how many gun law threads do we need?
I have the victim on ignore now. But anyone wanna tell me how this shit he said wasn’t racist? Or any of the shit that bodyman quoted? Lmk.
Not that anyone asked my opinion but I agree with this. If people aren't listening then give them at least a temporary ban. But locking threads is not the answer imo and doesn't fix anything.
This post is a microcosm how out of touch our whole society is. I'm really not sure why I'm explaining this because I KNOW YOU KNOW... For some STUPID reason black people are associated with loving chicken and white people are not. EVERYONE ( except vegans ect. like fried chicken but why was KFC (a place I NEVER eat at) is brought up ONLY because of My skin tone...
I always talk shit about people I have on ignore. Like that Nate dude, god damn, he has these freakishly huge ears. I remember meeting him and I could stop looking at his ears. Very distracting.
Yeah it’s pretty weird. The first time I saw him just openly saying racist shit, I was like wtf?? Then I tried having some civil discussions with him about that stuff, and I was immediately called a racist. Ever since then, I just have fun with the black victim. I mean, I say factual stuff, but I don’t expect him to actually listen.
He doesn't believe the dictionary is correct. Can't argue with someone that doesn't agree on definitions.
