This is the first OP to combine the words “Jesus” and “cunt” in quite a while.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but the last one used the one to refer to the other so there was quite a lot more outrage in the backlash. It certainly was entertaining, I’ll give you that.

Well, I like you, hon. [pats Argent consolingly on the head]

However, I tend to avoid lissener’s threads (not because of his personality but because we don’t have the same taste in movies and I wouldn’t want him to kick me in MY cunt)

Well, if he does, you should go to the doctor to get checked out, make sure you’re not hurt.

It’s always so lively around here when that happens, kinda like two galaxies colliding.

I’m not either, believe it or not – but I’m also aware that other people find certain words offensive, and I know what those words are, and use them – or not – accordingly.

I have always thought that the outrage was due to it being used as a description, not as a noun describing a body part ~50% of humans have. He wasn’t calling her a cunt.

Jesus, I laughed out loud for about 10 minutes. Who the hell was their english translator?
Am I the only one who was offended at the idea of actually BEING “kicked in the cunt?” My girly bits practically crawled up into my rib cage.

I assumed it was a female-aimed variation on “so I kicked him in the balls and…” meaning “damn, I wish I could smack someone for being that dumb but this is real life.” In other words, I barely thought about it other than seeing the word “cunt” used which isn’t a frequent thing - unless I’m driving, then I’m yelling it occasionally at other drivers.
I took the line about cunt-kicking as a joke. He was playing wth the reader’s expectation that such behavior would be a ridiculous over-reaction with the unexpected and incongruent element that “of course” this was the normal way to react to a disagreement about movies. (Explaining jokes is never that helpful, but there’s my attempt).
Some people just have an abrasive sense of humor and don’t care much about tiptoeing around other people’s delicate feelings. I suspect that lissener will think it’s funny that people took him seriously and are offended.
If you don’t like it, I’d say it’s best to either ignore that kind of comment or make a joke about kicking someone in the balls in return.
“Cunt punt” is a phrase I’ve seen a few times lately, sort of like people are trying not so successfully to make it a web meme.

This is one of those “I wish I’d thought of it first” posts.

Oh wait – “other people.” Never mind.
[/QUOTE]
I could sorta see the offense if he had called the woman a cunt, but just the simple use of the word? I thought we were long past the idea here that certain words are just too profane to use in any context. Or was the context of violence, even obviously not actual violence, that pushes it into offenseland?

Apparently not.

Not that he needs me defending him, but I just wanted to point out that the **Red Shirt ** plays perfectly nice in Café Society. The more vocal outbursts seem to be confined to GD and the Pit. Note that I’m not assigning value to that, only that if you only ever read his posts in CS, you’d never get why he gets pitted so much.
[QUOTE=Q.E.D.]
Do people even read OPs anymore or do they just glance at them and make their own assumptions like you did?
[/QUOTE]
Bingo. And not just the OPs. I bowed out of the Ted Stevens thread because people were parsing what I said and putting spins on my responses that in no way were in keeping with my intent. And the more you try to explain/clarify, the more the attack dogs pile on. Makes me crazy, I tells ya.

But see, it’s not that you and **Lissener ** don’t share the same taste in movies, it’s that you’re wrong.

I know, I was pretty much just joking.
The word “cunt” generally doesn’t bother me, depending on the context. Just that lissener has a tendency to be a complete snob when it comes to movies. That’s what makes him, well, I guess, a “cunt”.

Cunt loves you, everyone else thinks you’re a Jesus?
I don’t get it.
So he’s defensive about his opinions and tastes, who isn’t?
Alot of people do that, especially when they post drunk like he did.
