Your inability to read for comprehension doesn’t mean I’m slippery. I own my words, but I can’t understand them for you. Maybe small sentences will help. 1. It is human nature to prejudge based on appearances. 2. It’s not always wise to go with that prejudgment (I gave a pretty clear example) 3. Not prejudging based on appearance requires effort 4. If you expend the effort and it backfires, you’re less inclined to bother next time. I still don’t offer a moral judgment on that. Everyone has their own tolerance for getting outside of their comfort zone. At some point, if people consistently cringe when you approach, it makes sense to realize the problem might be you instead of everyone else. Or not. Maybe everyone in the world is a total dipshit but you. I supposed that’s possible–you got me sussed good, don’t you. ---

It _sounds_ like a moral judgement … I mean, usually when one speaks of morals the defining line is right/wrong and here you clearly state there’s nothing wrong with it.

You helpfully point out if you experience discrimination, it’s your fault for being “different”. Get back to me when you get your story sorted out. Actually, don’t bother. You “appear” to be a fairly shallow fellow and I’ve already reached my quota for those type of acquaintances. ---

> [@flatlined](#): > > I’ll bet that you have a very lonely rl because you only judge people by how they look. No friends who aren’t perfect enough for you, not willing look past appearance to find the person inside. How’s that for a generalization? > [@sylmar](#): > > Surprised you’ve been on the board so long when you seem to only want feedback that validates your limited worldview. Would’ve thought you’d gravitate towards organizations that were more homogenous in their appearance and beliefs… Westboro Baptist Church, KKK etc. And how’s that for irony? ---

And how’s that for bizarrely disjointed commentary? Did you just take a random Madlib page and struggle to fashion it into a comprehensible statement Flapjack ? Or are you into comment-bombing choice posts with inane contributions? Inquiring minds really don’t want to know, but I thought someone here might be putting together a field guide for cunthoses and would want to nail down what variety you were… ---

Lets go get that beer, **slymar**. Our favorite bar does judge people by appearance. Having a big guy like you by my side will inspire the server to bring us 2 big bowls of peanuts or popcorn. When I’m waiting for Bill, I never get any empty calories/salty goodness unless I ask for them. ---

Hah. I’m not looking for a fight. I just think the rabid reaction to Sun Jester suggesting that appearances do matter to an extent was a fair one. Then, I suppose disjointly, thought the very people touting that we should not make generalizations leap to extreme conclusions about Sun Jester, and now me. Everybody gets dirty looks. Acknowledging that dirty looks stem from appearances does not make someone a friendless asshole, a klansman, or a cunthose. ---

No, Sun Jester did not “suggest”. He endorsed it with, “I see nothing wrong with it”. Me, make extreme conclusions about an ass wipe who comes along and _sniffs_ at me for calling out another ass wipe for pitching a philosophy I find distasteful? Perish the thought Flaps, I can see your point. It’s definitely not how one goes about providing the support and encouragement required to see this sort of “philosophy” grow. One would think it would, if not prevent it’s active practice, at least discourage people from pitching it as A okay. I don’t know what came over me. The world would definitely be a better place with guys like you charge ( At least, for you guys). So, back to my original question. Which type of cunt-hose are you? Sorry for the delay Flatline, just had to sort out some confused people following bad directions. ---

> [@sylmar](#): > > I’m sure in a past life I did something to traumatize these people to make them cringe so… Put the tarot cards away, I think I’m beginning to understand why people cringe around you. Has nothing to do with your _past_ lives. I think if I knew a twat in real life who was half as obtuse as you I’d ram nails into my ears just so I wouldn’t have to hear their bitchy little nonsensical blatherings. Jesus, you’re a tedious little shit. Thought maybe I misjudged you on your first post in here, but after drawing you out–yep: Pureblood cuntwaffle. Have a nice life and remember, when everybody around you is a douchenozzle, you’re the douchenozzle.
