Jarbaby
Check the time signatures. I wrote my OP before the (sort of) admission. I’m not defending my OP anymore — I’m defending the fact that I reacted to what I THOUGHT was gay bashing. And I’m saying that I’d do it again.
A hypocrite? Fuck you, too.
Yes? Do they also argue to have gays admitted in the military? I really wouldn’t know, it’s been a while since I visited stormfront…
(Just to clarify, back in my idealistic youth, when I thought I oughta keep up with the enemy, I did visit stormfront.org. I thought they were shitty web designers.)
Oh, wait:
:smack:
This is hardly a lambasting Jar.
Carrot
Allow me to attempt to be serious because I think this is important.
Yes, Storm Front does use rhetorical satire and sarcasm to bash gays, blacks, Indians, and everyone else they hate. Look, I’m sorry for mistaking you for them. I’m relieved that you’re not one of them. But I still won’t apologize for reacting the way I did. I did it because I love my gay friends, and I’ve promised to stand beside them and fight.
As you wish, Lib. But you know, when YOU do your parodies and whoosh people, and they don’t get your joke - as well-written as it is - you jump their case for not getting the joke.
Well, you didn’t get the joke. Look, you might not have realized it was a parody, and if it really had been gay-bashing, your reaction would have been laudable. But it sounds to me like you’re pissed that it WAS a parody and that you didn’t get it. That’s not carrot’s fault, that’s yours. Am I wrong?
Geez, you guys really gotta calm down. I mean, dantheman’s over here calling [someone] a hypocrite, Libertarian’s just telling everyone to fuck themselves, World Eater seems to think I’d be better off just not saying anything at all, and I think I nearly hurt myself laughing at the ‘Department of Dead Horses’ remark, jarbabyj.
Can’t we all just get along?
And seeing the post you just made, never mind. Good post, that.
Look, he can’t be that bad, he thinks I’m funny. 
Huh? When have I jumped someone’s case for not getting a parody? I’m not pissed about not getting Carrot’s joke (it wasn’t a parody). I’m pissed about being scolded for reacting to what I thought was a Storm Trooper.
Okay. Truce.
Besides, you should parse out your “fuck yours” a lot more … well, parsimoniously! I mean, if we all get them, they’re not as valuable. I want one all my own; I’m not sharing one with jarbaby. Nosir.
carrot, I think you’ll fit in quite nicely around here. It doesn’t hurt that I think carrot’s a funny name, either.

Wait, Libertarian, maybe it WAS a parody…
Hear me out, here. dictionary.reference.com defines ‘parody’ as:
So, it’s quite possible that it could turn out to be a parody of a joke!
I’m a little new here, so I was wondering…Do I need a smiley thingy here?
Better be on the safe side.
Not the most graceful entrance to the SDMB, but we’ll see how this plays out.
Winkies help, but a real parody doesn’t use them - it’s like explaining the joke.
Hang on–I don’t want nobody staring at my winkie. That’s why I don’t want . . . them . . . in the military.
Okay. Well, you’re nothing if not charming.
You don’t want giant mutant ants in the military, andros?
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted SDMB personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
