marion: Do you read things completely? It’s a serious question and motivated in part by your responses. Did you read tomoeDave’s follow up to my response? Clearly not. It follows:
You misunderstood.
* I called all of us fools – that includes me.
* I disagree with your presumption of what is biased and what isn’t.
* I didn’t ask you to respond without bias. I just said that you are as biased as all the rest.
* I am suspicious of people who label other comments as being “race card”, “biased”, “knee jerk”, and so on.
* Everything is of questionable merit.
* I said you were a fool IF you believed that you’re able to somehow free yourself of bias. I didn’t actually call you a fool.
For you to refer to someone as a fool is beyond comprehension. You seem to feel that attacking someone’s core: Their race, gender and sexuality is okay, so long as that person doesn’t agree with you or your core beliefs. However, when you feel the same treatment is shown you, you cry foul.
One cannot have a rational, reasoned discussion with an irrational, unreasonable individual. Partypup is, by my measure, an intelligent, rational and articulate individual. She attempted to engage you on that level and, in return, was treated to a series of embarrassing diatribes.
It is unacceptable conduct, as Bugs rightfully pointed out. It also needs to stop. You want to call me arrogant? Fine. Now go look in the mirror.
