What the fuck is wrong w/these people?

[Sounder]

Thanks Nordic, coming from you, that means a lot to me.

Small aside; The father of a friend of a family member who is a retired cop and into police brutality issues, found and made public the kickers facebook page.

He closed his account rather quickly after getting an earful.

I haven't been following this post since the derail into beer, and various other things but WTF? Why has Alice decided to leave? She was a major reason I joined. Please don't let these dinks run you off Alice.

It was apparently something that happened in the Gilad Atzmon thread. I stayed out of that thread from the beginning, so I missed it. One could go back and look it up, I suppose, but the whole thing got so ugly and nasty I personally don't really want to go study it.

The bruh-ha-ha seems to be continuing in the "all worship c2w" thread.

The censorship and political correctness is getting a little stifling around here.

Oh well, I guess only time will tell if it was the correct move.

I think it's a seasonal thing. It was pretty hard to say something that wouldn't piss somebody off from March to June last year, too.

Alice wrote that personal attacks drove her off and furthermore, she wasn't thrilled with the idea that everything she wrote would be attacked because she wrote it (a different fallacy that I can't remember the name of.)

I'm with you on that, I'm glad I took the time to listen to it.

Nordic,

I guess you didn't think much of C2W or believe her contributions here were very worthwhile. But lots of other people did. You're of course free to voice your displeasure with her, especially now that she's not here to respond, but personally I would prefer you refrain from spitting on her memory. But carry on as you please...

AlicetheKurious has provided more well formulated content and context than any ten other posters on this board. This is one reason that I will stand by her in preference to some sanctimonious claimants to righteousness that seem to love nothing more than propping up existing vertical authority distribution systems.

What the fuck is wrong with people that they cannot see the difference between context stripping, leading to forms without substance and attempts at adding substance by expanding context or range of understanding? Institutional attempts to guide our narrative ALWAYS seek to bury context that may threaten institutional power.

We have a love/hate relationship with the folk that provide illuminating context because they expose our ignorance that is bred into us through ‘culture’. These folk are easy targets for folk that are determined to maintain their façade or self belief in their own righteousness established through their ‘diagnosis’ of the ‘problem’ that places blame for social ills at the foot of some narrow class of humans.

Sadly this effect is so deep seated that nearly all us spend most of our analytical efforts at identifying what is ‘dreadfully’ wrong with any given writing rather than seeing the elements that support more broad based understanding. I attribute this to the general assumption of a split reality that creates a medium where eventually we all become merely more objects to be manipulated.

While it may be easy enough to see institutional support for the status-quo, we must also realize that every individual act of repression or denial of ones shadow is also in implicit support of the status-quo.

Why else pray tell do so many republican homophobes get caught having same sex trysts?

^^^^^ what you said.

Since you apparently agree with this, perhaps you could interpret it for me.

I'm with you on that, I'm glad I took the time to listen to it.

Funny you say that, because I thought it was hilarious and I don't agree that:

The censorship and political correctness is getting a little stifling around here.

In fact, I think that's a ridiculous contention. Got any examples?

yes there is EXTREME political correctness here, no doubt....(a recent addition)


can't give examples because I am for the first time in 7 years afraid to post something



....and a couple real bullies also


thanks to Saurian Tail for being brave enough to be able to say how she felt....at this point I have no bravery and that makes me sick to my stomach


.......but lots of other people didn't

[brainpanhandler]

I didn't answer your pm because I didn't see that there was anything I could say that would make you feel better.

No there isn't imo. I could be wrong, of course, but if you won't provide any examples then why should I take that assertion seriously?

....and a couple real bullies also

I suppose you include me in that.

thanks to Saurian Tail for being brave enough to be able to say how she felt

I'll thank ST once they respond. But they are of course not obliged to. It's no skin off my nose.

....at this point I have no bravery and that makes me sick to my stomach

What could you possibly be afraid of? My opinion of you? Really?

I know you said you respect me, but that's giving me way too much respect. Respect yourself.

Excellent. What are you afraid of then?

[seemslikeadream]

am I on your ignore list or not? It's hard to tell if I am suppose to respond to you

and I do have total respect for myself...why would you think I didn't ...cause I tried to reach out to you and you slap me in the face?
