Sidestepped something there, didn’t you? Where do you get racist defending anything? Where have I defended racism in anyway? Show me where I have agreed with those who have said racist things. You said it, step up. ---

I don’t think I called you a fucking idiot. Either way, you started a Pit thread and called him a shrieker. Insults are to be expected, aren’t they? If you wanted a debate you could’ve started a thread in GD. ---

Marley, no, not addressed to you. I quote MrDibble from above: Anyone who ever says anything remotely scientific-sounding, that uses the commonly used races, is a racist. As soon as someone says “Blacks [something scientific]”, he’s a racist. anyone, ever, remotely, racist. Broad, broad, broad and not true. ---

Uh, wrong. First, where did you get nip from me at all? Secondly, I can attack you for what I feel you are wrong about and regardless of whether it plays to the advantage of some idiot elsewhere on the board, that does not remotely equate to defending that third party. I absolutely am not defending anyone here. My issue is with you. ---

Well, you do seem _way_ more torqued up about a guy who, at absolute worst, made a slightly over-broad rhetorical flourish, then the people who are literally arguing that black people are dumber than white people. If I didn’t believe that you’re as genuinely stupid as you’re presenting yourself, I’d probably assume that you’re deliberately misinterpreting him to deflect his entirely apt criticism. But you appear to be authentically too dumb even for such a clumsy feint. ---

Fine, I will concede that perhaps it isn’t as broad as it could be. There is nuance and perhaps my view of it varies from MrDibble. My point stands, nonetheless. ---

OK, you got me. I stated that nip was a word and that it has no value until used as a weapon. Dead ringer there. ---

No it doesn’t. Even now I don’t think you really understand the “nuance” of **MrDibble** was saying - in other words, his entire point. > [@MostlyUseless](#): > > Miller, really condescending. Really, that is lame. You really should aim higher. If you start an extremely lame-ass Pit thread over a point that you don’t really understand, and then keep on digging the hole deeper and deeper for several pages, you’re lucky if all you get is condescension.
