Well, of course!
How the hell can you act all offended and pompously pronounce, "I'll fix you! You are going on ignore dammit!" if you've already got everyone there.
I think, for you, it makes perfect sense.
Disagreeing with my politics is no reason to hate me, and from what I can see, that's the only thing you have against me. I disagree with millions of people about politics. I've long since gotten over it. So should you. Life is more than politics.
You are just determined to hate me. That's your problem. I never did anything to you. But hate me if you must. That's your right. I'm used to that kind of shit. I get it at work all of the time.
You've made countless false assumptions about me, too. Many of them quite laughable. Talk about prejudice. Get off your high horse. You don't know me at all.
If you are a straight male, especially white, that is enough reason for Safe Bet to hate you. At least to her mind.

See, making assumptions. I have yet to see where Box and I are homophobic (news to people in the GLBT forum, I'm sure, not to mention my readers), misogynistic (where she gets this, I just don't know.....certainly would be news to my wife, mother, stepdaughter, niece, female colleagues, female supervisors, and readers), or feel "white entitlement" (whatever that this, I'm not out wearing a bedsheet, shaving my head, or calling for a return to chattel slavery).
Again, it comes down to Box and I not sharing her left-wing views. I'm not going to apologize for sincere anarchist views, just as Box shouldn't be expected to apologize for what seems like fairly center-right views. The only "entitlement" I feel is the ownership of my own body and the right to do with it as I please. That hardly makes me a racist.
At one point, you assumed that I'm straight (wrong), old (at 35, I may feel old at times, but I'm not ready to retire anytime soon), a racist (since when....trust me, if you want to see real racists, I can take you back to West Virginia and introduce you to quite a few of my former classmates, neighbors, cousins, uncles, etc.....or for that matter, read the trolls on Lit's LW and Interracial categories), or senile (seriously, WTF, my mind might not be as fresh as it used to be, but I'm still able to write worth a damn and help my wife with her college coursework).
Enough assuming that people who don't share your political views are racist, sexist, or homophobic. That's a just a bit too convenient, rather than consider that they might simply, honestly disagree with you. Grow the fuck up.
You need to take a long look in the mirror and see things through other people's eyes. Personally, I'm just a little tired of the damn race-baiting and other labels. It's getting very old and, yes, offensive.
I can be obnoxious, but only toward those who are more so, such as Safe Bet.

Other than them, I'm fine with everyone else.
Well, except for senile, obnoxious assholes who make shit up (like you do). I do hate them regardless of there orientation, gender or color.
I tend to agree. It's almost impossible to prove a negative but, if you read my posts on subjects dear to the hearts of gays and lesbians, or my stories about them, you would not honestly call me a homophobe. I'm also not sexist. I sometimes criticize some people for dumb things they do, but that applies to men and women. I have never expressed any disdain for women in general, certainly not to the degree Safe Bet expresses her disdain for men.
I have never expressed any sense of white entitlement, nor have I ever felt any. I am old, though, but senile is rather too strong a word to use in describing me.
