Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Sigh, yeah, I suppose it's a time-honored practice with those who make blanket statement which are obviously "out there" and get told so by most of the rest. It takes courage to stick it out, I know, but I believe it also takes common sense and some understanding to be able to back up what you say, so running away seems a logical extension of being called on things. Except when it can be turned into a flame war, then I notice they stick around...probably for the sheer fun of it!

It's a shame, all in all. But not much of one, in truth, since debating with the people who DO have arguments and points worth making is much more fun, educational and illuminating. Just think what incredible discussions would exist in the world if...ach, I'm off in dreamland,

me!

But I find it strange that you have no desire to stand by your opinions, or back them up with facts, and would rather run away than continue in a debate. If you truly believe you're right, most people would have more interest in defending their views. We'll never know if you even understood where you went wrong in the first place, in thinking I was comparing being gay to being Black, rather than what I was trying to say, that discrimination was the same no matter WHY one is discriminated against. Do you accept that now? The rest followed from that initial chastizing of me, and the opinions you expressed were pretty strong.

You're free to come and go as you wish, of course, but what you do is reflective of you as a person, and your expressed opinions, so you need to remember that when claiming superiority over others or that others pick on you.

I am not in the business of proving you wrong, Niki.

You think Im wrong in what I said... ok. But look up how black folks feel about "their" struggle being put in the same box as gays.

And yanno, you might have noticed that's what results in the verbal flamethrowing on my behalf.

Just sayin.

Oh yeah. I've noticed, in spades, and appreciated it every single time.

Oh, and Wulfie? You say you're not in the business of proving Niki wrong. Why was it, then, that you felt the specific need to chide her for equating discrimination against blacks to discrimination against gays (or, to be more accurate, her equating discrimination to discrimination, in whatever form)? Why did you feel the need to say things like, "Shit, girl, you don't even want to go there. You're insulting an awful lot of people."

You say that kind of shit, and when called upon to provide evidence or back up such claims, you disappear.

And since WHEN do you not feel the need to argue every single point? Seriously, you're just embarrassing yourself now.

I call that the AURaptor pattern (granted, he doesn't do it anymore - but he perfected it).

AuRaptor was by far the worst at this crap, which is why for a while there were some of us who would just keep bringing up his posts and quotes to him, and asking, "See? See what you said right here? See where it was 100% refuted, and where you were proven to be not only wrong, but a fool as well? DO YOU SEE?"

Yup.

Actually, I was reading quite well. The post was a bait to see how ppl would react.

Because I actually have 1st hand experience with don't ask don't tell, something that no doubt seperates me from almost every person who posts here.

Ah, you saw that one, Gino, eh? I had to choose only a couple to put up, so I passed on that one, but it was pretty good, too.

And?

Your post was a bait; were the results what you expected?
