Ever.** I hope that wasn’t too ambiguous. And no, we do not think better of you for trying to rationalize this after the fact.

Can we say something like “Mark Twain uses the word “nigger” in _Huckleberry Finn_?” Need answer fast. My neighbor is having a barbecue.

Ah, my bad. This thread has gotten plenty long, and I lost the thread of it in my head this last weekend.

I did re-read and see that neither **liberty3701** (who is the subject of my post that you quoted) nor myself called you any such thing.

My point was that **catsix** ’s histrionics about what kind of person must be in real life based on the thoughts they express here are a rather nonsensical.\* Similarly, I don’t think **liberty3701** was calling you a bigot, just that the joke in question was in bad taste.

And I think people were calling you a troll because you were using “lighten up” as an argument. I have never seen the argument “lighten up” do anything but make an angry person angrier. Hence the accusation of trolling. I’m not saying I agree, but you might want to avoid this in the future. Your (presumably honest and friendly) tone doesn’t carry over very well on a message board.

- In the interest of full disclosure, I should say that I am actually married to **liberty3701**. Let me emphasize that I didn’t find **catsix** ’s remarks about her (and me!) offensive, just completely misguided and ignorant of how many people live.

catsix is one of those women who thinks men will think she’s cool if she lets them call other women bitches around her. A large part of her personality seems to be designed to ingratiate herself to the kind of men who she still doesn’t realize usually have no respect for her anyway and just see all her pro-man/anti-PC bullshit as the equivalent of a retarded puppy doing some trick. Aww, it thinks it’s people! She’s the last person whose opinion about any gender-related topic should be bothered with.

My disdain for feminists has nothing whatever to do with men and everything to do with the fact that feminists are, by and large, the kind of people who would rather whine about the rules not being fair from the sidelines of a game they don’t intend to ever try to play.

I hardly give a damn who thinks I’m cool.

I don’t kiss ass, and I can’t stand those who do. I’m not about to go around begging for respect, or diminishing myself to get it. Either someone wil respect me for the work I do and the things I have to offer, or they won’t. I don’t see the need to concern myself with those who won’t.

Well, I could have wasted time getting to be an expert in gender studies, but no, I had to get in the game rather than just watch it.

I suppose I’ll have to base all my opinions on real life experience. At least I have the satisfaction of knowing I irritate you. 🙂

Yeah, I’m totally coming from an ivory tower of gender studies here. Try that on someone who wasn’t too busy working for a living to finish high school.

For someone who doesn’t care what other people think of you, you seem deeply invested in getting across how awesome cool you are whenever possible.

It’s never too late to finish high school. Sure, you’ll look like a dork and nobody will ask you to the prom, but who cares?

Well, if that’s how you see it, Sparky. I’m not going to be apologizing for having a successful career and a very comfortable and happy life.

Oh, wait, did that sound like I was trying to get across how awesome cool I am?

Should I have pretended to be a spectacular failure who lives in Mommy’s attic to make you happy so that you will stop accusing me of ingratiating myself to men?

Sparky? I like it, I think I’ll keep it. Maybe you really are awesome cool.

Yes.

That’s not what I was referring to inre ingratiating yourself, but never mind. More importantly, there’s a line between constant bragging and fake humility. You’re frequently like a drunk frat guy in a bar shouting about how much he can bench-press. Many successful Dopers manage to post without giving themselves gold stars and trophies all the time. Because you feel a need to announce your awesome coolness so much it starts to seem like you must be insecure about it. Though actually, I don’t think you are insecure. I think you’re just really in love with yourself, and so distracted by your own glory that you don’t yet realize you’re making yourself look like an ass by constantly perpetrating acts of public self-affection.

Frequently? What have you been reading?

I haven’t even been here ‘frequently’ in a long time.

I could tell you what I think, or you can get to know me and decide if you like me later. Up to you.

OK, cancel the honeymoon.

What I just did in my last post, that was deliberate, and done to take the piss out of you. If you ride me about not being humble enough, I might just have a little fun with you like that.

You shouuld see how many trophies are in my apartment. If I give myself any more of them, I might have to throw away some of the older ones.

Or I’m messing with you.

I do love myself, but not nearly that much.

Want to have a beer\* some time?

I was going to post a lengthy rant about racist/sexist jokes/slurs and context and all that… but screw it, I found one sentence that gets my point across much better:

Ladies and gentlemen, THE ARISTOCRATS!

All I know is East and Southeast Asian pussy is not configured in accordance with the old army joke.

Oh my! I didn’t realize until I read Siam Sam’s post that spell check must have replaced “ethnicities” with “elasticities”. No _wonder_ my point wasn’t responded to. :smack:

Firefox doesn’t have the plural for “ethnicity”, who knew?

And I didn’t even realize it was a mistake. I’ve seen some stretched pretty wide.

Well, me too, but I didn’t know wide vagina was a protected class of individual that was often discriminated against.
