Some favorites of mine:
10. "I was just posting the stupidest thing I could think of, to see how many of you idiots would take it seriously. Dance, puppets, dance!"
When you decide on a definition of 'lie' that doesn't change from day to day, come back to me and we'll discuss this.zipman said:They're your words from less than a month ago, moron.

And then there's BlackShanglan's favorite move for when his buddies are hopelessly cornered:BlackShanglan said:Better! He hath thrown the Holy Hand Grenade of Hyperbole. No, wait, that's the pin. It might be best to duck anyway.

"Well, that's not a racial slur. It's just a word uttered in a conversation."
or:
"The fact that there are fat admirers and indifferents out there, is not actually a fact."
Rich stuff indeed.

^^^^ Oh man, I love it when people just walk right into a bear trap like that.BlackShanglan said:Thank you for reminding us that whatever number we're on needs to read "Make up things that people didn't say. If you're feeling particularly energetic, post links to threads in which they didn't actually say those things and dare people to read through the entire thread. Then ask them to prove where the alleged offense didn't occur."
"I always never said his name was Popinjay, sir."
There are more complex ways in which such words can be used. Personally, I like to avoid them because they lead to just this sort of bad feeling and resentment. However, I recognize what appears to me to be enough of a difference in motivation that I am willing to listen to the rest of what Rediciva has to say, and I've not seen her mount any racial attacks on people. I still think she'd be better off not making the comparison she made, but I don't think it's a serious attempt to sling racial slurs in a hateful way. Certainly it's on the borders, and certainly people will take offense and with some good reason, and certainly I think it would have been better not said. But if that's the worst comment she ever makes on race, and thus far it is, I think she doesn't deserve to be tarred as a racist.
No. It was my way of observing that not every sentence with that word in it is an attempt to attack someone's race. Some are; some are not.
Me, too. The death ones are always my favorite, like the people using them really think they're being creative and coming up with something new.ksmybuttons said:Damn. I could put a name to every one of those!
