Re: The Conspiratorial Clowns

I was waiting for you to call out actual homosexism with the same level of vindictiveness you’ve displayed toward people who have not engaged in homosexism. But you failed. Faux outrage.

You not only don’t see the gorilla, you don’t even see the basketball.

So what are you going to do?

Cultellus, aren’t you going to ask Atlanticmike to stop with the blatant, bigoted homosexism?

You claimed that doing so is what to do, and that doing so has real results.

Jump in there. Give it a go.

Every time you tear into someone about being a bigot for not saying anything bigoted, I'm going to repost as a reminder that your "outrage" is selectively applied.

What I'm not going to do is act differently depending on the political alignment of the speaker. That's your schtick.

I'm not quite sure what this 'homosexism' thing is.

Is it what most people (I think) called 'homophobia', a term that is generally understood as referring to 'an irrational and immoderate dislike, fear or hatred of people who experience same-sex attraction'?

[Res Ipsa]

Atlantic Mike: posts homophobic slur

Cultellus: reposts homophobic slur, attacks guy who didn't post homophobic slur as a bigot for not objecting to other homophobic slurs

Cultellus: (after inconsistency is pointed out): mildly criticizes homophobic slur as "not good," pivots to attacking person who did not use homophobic slur, doesn't call person who actually used homophobic slur a bigot

It’s a pretty dated term. Perhaps speaks to the age of the person using it.

This is the whole damn point of this board, right? It is the whole damn point of how moderation happens now. This lower forum is about Doc, Chap, Gunnar, Gad, Jersey, Lem, you (Res), Icarus and holding the hard line for a single ideology and making excuses for crappy awful behavior because the ideology is more important than anything.

Prove it. Show us evidence of Jersey holding a hard line for a single ideology in any post anywhere on this board.

If you can't do that, then leave my name out of your BS ravings.

I’ll add:

“Does not ask the offending poster to stop using homophobic slurs, even after saying that everyone else should do so and could have done so in the past, on the claimed theory that such a request would work.”

In other words: Won’t commit himself to his own demands of others, because he knows that his demands are BS.

Preceded in the same post by:

let's accept this as the basis for this conversation and every conversation on this board... I see things through my own biases. I am a terrible writer. I am even worse with logic...

Got it.

Res, let's accept this as the basis for this conversation and every conversation on this board: I (Cultellus) am fatally flawed. My flaws are not just obvious, they are so egregious they are life-threatening. I miss things. I see things through my own biases. I am a terrible writer. I am even worse with logic. I did not vote in the last election. I do not rescue kittens. I smoke as much meth as I can, and I sell the rest to children mostly. I am not a liberal or I am a liberal but too stupid. I am not right wing or I am right wing and also stupid. Assume everything I do is not just flawed, it is also just flat out wrong.

Now, given that I am so messed up and evil and wrong that what I do and say is nothing but chum for you and your friends here, what are you going to do? Are you going to take Atlanticmike to the shed, whoop his ass, comment on what he said, moderate his post, move it to prison? Or, like everything around here, will you just point out how bad of a poster/writer/human I am so all the crap that I said is not relevant and not as important as your favorite people and favorite ideology?

This is the whole damn point of this board, right? It is the whole damn point of how moderation happens now. This lower forum is about Doc, Chap, Gunnar, Gad, Jersey, Lem, you (Res), Icarus and holding the hard line for a single ideology and making excuses for crappy awful behavior because the ideology is more important than anything. I have given you all you needed about me since I got here. I have shown you how imperfect I am, and that I will be imperfect forever. And, that is used as a crutch for you and your clown posse to continue to hold this hard line for a single ideology and to absolutely hammer the everloving crap out of the people that post without kudos and praise.

It is simple to post here. Easy. Come on here, harvest old quotes from Ajax, mine pictures from google, and post racist crap from 4Chan . Easy. Call ourselves victims of the vast right wing conspiracy, easier. Insult half the country and praise ourselves. Super easy. And then sit on our hands while insults are made that are bigoted and just wrong, also easy. If my failures as a poster make it even easier for you, you are very very welcome. If my failures as a human make it even easier for you to go along with a single ideology, consider it my gift.

Gorilla.

That’s quite a number of words typed out just to prove that you’re unwilling to walk the walk that you demand of others.

You’ve presented one of the best examples of lack of credibility that I think that I’ve ever witnessed.

Although A-mike's patent inauthenticity in his reasoning is a separate issue, since they seem to work together we could also add in the huge number of other types of slurs A-mike continues to post regularly. That lack of commitment on Cult's part really starts to shine when you do that.
