That's easy to say when you're not the one that's offended with something that's been said. I doubt seriously if you would be saying that were the shoe on the other foot.

Sounds like the unconscious, unspoken, assumed white superiority mentality coming off from that little comment, but then again I could be wrong.

Fk you, 6213! You have no idea what's coming off that remark; you don't know me--how dare you presume to know what my motives are, or what my mentality is? My point with Shadow is that it's easier to say "Get a thicker skin" when you're the one doing the offending than it is when you're the one on the receiving end! So now I've been accused of being a Klan member and of being an bigot. Beautiful! And all because I object to having the entire white population of FFF.net painted with the same brush. Ridiculous! If the shoe were on the other foot, once again, and someone on this board (God forbid) felt that a racial slur had been made, I'm sure we'd all be apologizing all over ourselves to make it right, and rightly so. But what's this? I take umbrage to being called a Klan member, and I'm the racist?!

RiveR6213,

It's nice to think that if something has no Merit it has no effect, but it isn't true. I ignored you because I thought it was pretty clear you were just trying to be an ass and I thought we'd already had enough of that, but you had to keep it up didn't you?

So you say that he's a white supremacist and the fact that he objects makes it true, interesting that. So what's next? He's a rapist perhaps? There's plenty of unsolved ones out there, I'm sure you can find one to pin on our Causal, and of course if he's offended by the allegations he must be guilty.

Nice the way that works, guilty by means of accusation. Must be nice to set it up so that you can say whatever you want and no one can object without being condemned twice over. My only question is, "Why?"

Why do you want to hurt people?

But I'm betting you won't answer so let me ask you something else, you told me you sold your soul, did you ever buy it back?

If there was no merit to what I had said, then you have no reason to get your boxer shorts in a bunch, but since you are getting all upset and sensitive, and somewhat defensive, then I guess I must have struck a nerve.

I'm white but I found no reason to take offense at what Shadow said. It was funny in a way to think that us Browncoats could ever stoop to something like klans, and that's what made it funny, but yourself and a few others read more into that sort of humor then what was there. I guess your beer and television must have somehow been interrupted.

Oh well, live and learn I suppose.

I feel compelled to apologize for swearing at you in my original post (as if I fooled anyone with using the dealie). I lost my temper, and I shouldn't have done that. I was wrong to do that, and I hope that you'll forgive me for having done so.

No B.S., seriously needed to say that. Mad or not, I still need to do the right thing, and cursing at you wasn't it.

God help me because of the age. It will be quite a shift from sophomores/juniors to 7th graders. I do look forward to the subject matter, it's my primary endorsement. Grammar, grammar and more grammar!

Here is where I was going to make what would have been a poorly recieved joke about religiosity and permisucious sex.
