Well @Jackmannii . When even the one being roasted for illogically abusing the no true Scotsman fallacy and others, tells you that there are many who are not imaginary; one has to realize that it is good to take the lurkers and other readers into account. (Even I did modify and corrected some of my positions thanks to the SDMB) ---

I want to commend you for being open-minded enough to listen to the points of others and modify your thinking accordingly. Many people would rather die on whatever hill they are defending than admit they might have been in error. You can also feel good about having a 900+ thread created for and centered around you. I think I’m jealous! LOL ---

> [@GIGObuster](#): > > (Even I did modify and corrected some of my positions thanks to the SDMB) Pfft. the SDMB has modified and corrected some of its positions thanks to me! That was sarcasm. There are posters with that attitude, though. At least they think it should be that way judging by the endless rules-lawyering threads. Fewer nowadays, thankfully ---

I really do think that Max has made a lot of progress, but then he suddenly drops a steaming turd. > [@News item: Sheriff in Oklahoma laments that he can't lynch Black people or kill journalists](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/news-item-sheriff-in-oklahoma-laments-that-he-cant-lynch-black-people-or-kill-journalists/982834/28): > > The part about the charred body and barbeque was definitely a joke. It had a punchline and laughter and everything. The rest sounds like casual talk, shootin’ the breeze. Without further evidence I wouldn’t say it amounts to a conspiracy to place a hit on a journalist, but it still reflects very poorly on them. Longing for the days when sheriffs could lynch Black people sounds just as bad as it looks in print. ~Max Maybe he’s still hanging out with (IRL or online) with such a group of deplorables that this make sense to him, but good god almighty. ---

Well, I _did_ typo the word “gave” (typing on my phone can do that) but by the time I’d realized it was too late to edit. I wouldn’t think that would change the meaning. I even put in an emoji at the end to express how Max’s posting affected me, to help make it a bit less ambiguous. > [@k9bfriender](#): > > exotic French cheese I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a thing in some avant-garde Parisian cafe. ---

The fuck? My ignore either timed out (didn’t think I had anything less than permamute) or broke. So today, I get treated with Max’s absolute BS comment equating calling entire classes of groups dehumanizing / demonizing names, with calling professional asshole (empirical truth that) Donald Trump names. > [@Dehumanizing language should not be allowed](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dehumanizing-language-should-not-be-allowed/985435/85): > > > [@Dehumanizing language should not be allowed](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dehumanizing-language-should-not-be-allowed/985435/60): > > > > We’ve pointed out specifically what we mean be dehumanizing(or perhaps, demonizing) when it comes _from_ the right.

For the record, I’m 100% against a rule that would prohibit this kind of language in Politics & Elections. In the context of politics, civil discussion tolerates a bit of “dehumanizing language”.

Yeah, that was the double-shot of Max stupidity in one post. First there’s the “I, a non-oppressed person, will explain how everyone else should feel.” And then there’s the complete lack of understanding of the difference between a personal insult and othering a group of people. ---

Topped with a sprinkling of “sometimes it’s rhetorically useful to dehumanize people in order to make a point” which comes off as infuriating self-justification from a long-proven racist. ---

After a year, I’m still trying to figure out where you can get food delivered from 25 miles away. As for tipping, it’s a flat 20% for me. Food delivery is a hard way to make a living, and more than one driver has had their directions be incorrect. I’ve even had to flag drivers down after watching them go past my house three times.
