Heck, I’d be impressed if Artist even mentions X (i.e. charges against Sandusky other than rape), even to say they are irrelevant, but his stance is that X is utterly nonexistent; it’s the only way he can tenuously claim to keep “winning”:
As long as SA chooses not to recognize any other crime of Sandusky’s, Paterno remains in the clear.
I don’t think that’s true. A very brief search turned up any number of acknowledgments by SA that there were other crimes committed. Including:
I mention this particular example because it was in the course of an exchange with you specifically. He was responding to you, and you quoted him in return.
Perhaps you are going to claim there is some minimum number of times that SA is required to post that Sandusky is guilty in order to carry on with his defense of Paterno. Regardless, I’m not inclined to research this topic at length, and remain unconvinced of your thesis.
Well, I said I’d be impressed and I stand by that. However, I suggested to you a while back to check his posts for specific references (and I should clarify - exclusive references) to “rape” or “raping” and there are a lot, to the point where Starving might recognize sexual assault in one post, then return to exclusive analysis of whether or not rape occurred (or was physically possible - hence the discussions of cardboard tubes or what “squatting” means) right after.
I started to compile cites, but then realized “this is Starving Artist I’m talking about, and Fotheringay-Phipps I’m talking to” and sanity prevailed.
What’s the relevance of any of this?
None, if you don’t or won’t see any.
Well I guess that answers the question.
None.
Sure, if you like.
Suits me fine.
I mean, ideally you wouldn’t post irrelevant tripe to begin with, but there’s only so much you can ask for …
Feel free to ask for anything you like, as far as I’m concerned. This “irrelevant tripe” request of yours is moot since the conditions didn’t occur, but far be it from me to suggest you restrain yourself.
Yes sir
So it’s a last word contest you’re wantin’, eh? heh-heh-heh…
Said the man with 44K posts (and about that many sentences) …
That’s irrelevant and possibly tripey.
It’s relevant (to the topic of last word contests). Unfortunately once you have to explain it …
Oh, I’m okay with the concept that your comment was witty and relevant, if only to you.
Well that pretty much sums up my assessment of about 80% of your comments, so I guess we’re good.
I think I saw this in a movie once. Soon, one of them is going to say something heartwarming, and they will realize that the love between them is greater than the differences.
Dammit, John… I was hoping a moderator would step in and declare that this thread about child-rape had degenerated into immaturity and needed to be closed. You ruined it.
That actually relates to the thread a bit, in that it’s similar to how a lot of violent homophobes turn out to be repressed gays. (I suggested upthread that something similar might apply to frothing anti-pedophile lynch mobs.)
I trust this an especially generous interpretation of “relates”, comparable to the shared genetic heritage of humans and mushrooms.
