La Trahison Des Clercs in the Fulness of Times

[_Droopy]

Everyone, from Wade to myself and Will, admitted there had been some over the top ad hominem language in a tiny, disparate part of Will's long posting history.

And that's everyone qua everyone.

Well, uh...

Hardly.

So "things as you see them" leaves a bit to be desired. But in any case, Jesus---you know, the guy who said not to say "raca" to people---doesn't like it if you say the "s" word, but doesn't mind if you call people retards. Is that the principle of the Restored Gospel we take away from your statement?

This is one of the classic tactics of the demagogue: make people angry by viciously attacking them on a relentless basis, and when they shoot back, attack them again for not being mild little lambs ambling, head bowed, to the slaughter.

Why don't you just admit that you can get away with saying anything you please, but I'm not supposed to say anything back with any sternness or negative personal observation, of any kind, no matter what names I'm called or what smears and cut downs come my way.

You're overwhelming concern for the welfare of my soul and the rigor with which I live gospel teachings is deeply touching, Darth.

Darth...yeah, very symbolic screen name, that.

No, its not. Its rude and uncivil (this board seems to bring that out in even the best of us), but hardly misogynous....

So, when you call the guy working the fastfood window at MickeyDee's a "lazy n-word" for taking too long with your Big Mac, that's just you being rude and uncivil, because you're not a racist.

Ha!

These boots are made for walkin'...

Are those boots qua boots?

Care to detox first and then try that again?

Care to detox first and then try that again?

Care to answer the question?

I'd love to, but I have no idea what on earth you're talking about.

[_Kishkumen]

I'd love to, but I have no idea what on earth your talking about.

In other words, you can't truly claim that Will is not a misogynist with a straight face, because you know you are wrong or simply lying.
