When you posted "I’m not saying I condone what happened to Nicole Simpson. But … " you remind me of the guy who goes to the NAACP website and posts a thread title “Now, I’m not a biggot, but…”
Poor Nicole Simpson. She was brutally murdered. Therefore, she must never have committed a crime in her life, or if she did, they ought to be pardoned immediately.
And we know that OJ did it. It’s obvious. He was in Los Angeles at the time, right? I rest my case.

Does any crimes she may or may not have committed justify what happened to her? Then isn’t bringing it up in the search for her killer, the administration of justice and/or prevention of that killer killing anyone else rather vulgar, out-of-place and insane?
[tepid qualifier]We need to get the people who slashed up Nicole and Ron. Murder is bad. [/tepid qualifier]
But perhaps most importantly, the Nicoles of the world need to do a lot of introspection, really examine their lives and the things that they do. The O.J.s have a lot of points, and it’s high time that the Nicoles stop and consider them.
Milo I have yet to read the Susan Sonntag thread. So if you start a thread in the pit which has all the appearances of a stupid post, HOW IS ONE SUPPOSED TO KNOW? Just because I know you as an intelligent poster?
Sometimes we get TOO CLOSE to our craft, and we take shortcuts. WE know what we are doing. But, DO OTHERS??
I didn’t. Grean Bean didn’t. Probably many others didn’t.
Well sam, I guess I was counting on the healthy irony quotient I know many of the good folks at the SDMB to have.
I was also hoping to get a good long list of why my stated viewpoints in this thread are dispicable, so on Page 2 we could keep the same plotline, but change the characters, and see why the same admonishments of the viewpoints no longer apply.
