Well, yeah I don’t intend to apologize to MrDibble. He’s kind of a dick and less “offended” than happily scoring internet points.
If DSeid thinks I twisted his words and insulted his wife, he definitely has my apologies.
Way to miss the point. When you’re apologizing for your poor writing, the apology isn’t to an individual, it’s to everyone who reads what you wrote.
Sorry, everyone, if I failed to make that clear.
Fuck that. Dibble accused me of trolling right off the bat. I was pretty clearly not stereotyping Jewish people/therapists. So no, I’m not apologizing for people jumping to the wrong conclusion even if I chose poor wording.
My, what an impression I’ve made on you, in your short month of never interacting with me.
And your ability to see into my soul after a month is just a tribute to your awesomeness?
I didn’t jump to a conclusion based on what could have been a misstatement.
But you have done all the work of making yourself pretty clear here.
Fuck off, troll.
I don’t think anyone here wants to stare into that abyss.
Oh, we both know it’s been a lot longer than a month, when you add the identities up - which was my point. So no, I’ve had years, troll.
You suck harder at ignoring than you do at trolling, BTW, and that’s saying a lot.
I’m going to briefly join the fray with these examples of not arguing in good faith in this thread. An exchange between @amanset and @FigNorton in which amanset is correctly arguing that we shouldn’t simply focus on covid death rates. So FigNorton decides to grill amanset on one specific aspect of long covid (amputations). I found the exchange so frustrating, I jumped in. He then focuses on testosterone levels. Nope, not interested in further engaging.
Whatever. Bored now.
Wow, a guy with a plain white avatar is bored of me. I must be super duper boring. My apologies to all!
True, you didn’t say “you are a bigot”. You deliberately misquoted DSeid to suggest he was talking about bigotry, and you trolled it in twice with fake concern suggesting that my “bigotry” might be an obstacle to therapy. For someone not accusing others of being a bigot, you sure seemed to have fun introducing the term and throwing it around.
You’re not a troll, but I understand why people think you are. You’re a lying moron who seems to accidentally fall into sealioning out of stupidity, butthurt, and overconfidence.
I think refusing a therapist because they aren’t religious is bigotry. YMMV.
True. I refuse therapists because they are religious. Enlightened self-interest.
Or maybe they want a therapist who is already well-versed in the arcane requirements of the orthodox culture.
Nope. If you read the thread it was specifically mentioned that they could make do with a religious christian.
Yes, but my point is there could be reasons you’re not aware of.
Like? Their therapy sessions will centre around being religious? Sure that’s possible but it was framed as a general comment.
There’s nothing you could say that would be too dumb to surprise me, but it’s a real shitbird move to misquote DSeid’s wife to fluff up your little opinion party. Shitbird, but nothing more than I’d expect from you.
Here’s the quote so you can see HMS is being something of a nutjob:
“Bringing up the religion analogy her response included pointing out that some Orthodox Jews would exclude a more secular Jew as a therapist - to them they are apostates and better to see a righteous Gentile than an apostate. And they are right that it might get in the way of developing a functional therapeutic relationship.”
How the fuck anyone sees that as anything other than religious bigotry is beyond me.
