Maybe it reflects on my own weaknesses, but I have bitten twice in the last couple of weeks on this board, over posts which I consider to contain hateful and inciteful language - both have been defended as being "tongue in cheek".
(1) Responding to Basestealer, even hidden under a changed ID that I did not recognise (Generally Dynamic), is well established to be a waste of time. However the defence of the post by Generally Dynamic in this thread (http://p077.ezboard.com/fross98289ross.showNextMessage?topicID=3800.topic) still rankles me. (I have linked to the full thread, so that I am not accused of taking the vile post out of context) :
When the issue was raised in this thread (http://p077.ezboard.com/fross98289ross.showMessageRange?topicID=3749.topic&start=121&stop=152). Generally Dynamic (the author) defended it thus:
The stumpid strikes again... taking my post out of context. I guess the tongue in cheek relevancy of my post escapes you. That's good, because I don't consider the target audience on this board to be of such, shall we say, "low" intelligence. Lame effort, stumpy. Really lame and very desperate, and even more obvious.Bolding is mine (and yes the tongue in cheek relevancy does escape me).
In the same thread, Admiral II, also defended the post by pointing out that I am a "fetid pile of fecal matter", "a mental pygmy", and, I think, someone called Ian.
When it was pointed out that Generally Dynamic was previously posting here as BASESTEALER, I realised and accepted why people here ignored his well known racist and bigotted overtones.
BUT THEN.....
