What point are you trying to make, **F-P**? Looks like you’re trying to imply some sort of Double Hypocrisy :eek: on the part of **LHOD** , even though what you quoted from this thread and the one you’re referencing are in total agreement regarding hypocrisy and optic mote discovery versus beam removal. What do you wish us to glean here? ---

> [@xenophon41](#): > > What point are you trying to make, **F-P**? Looks like you’re trying to imply some sort of Double Hypocrisy :eek: on the part of **LHOD** , even though what you quoted from this thread and the one you’re referencing are in total agreement regarding hypocrisy and optic mote discovery versus beam removal. There are two separate issues. One is whether LHOD should have made the remark he made in the prior thread. That’s the issue he deigned to address here. He said he shouldn’t have made that remark, and he said that’s “the end” of it. The other issue is whether he should have made the remark that he made in this thread (i.e. impugning users of that term). That’s what Crazy Canuck accused him of. CC went to some length to make the point that this was his issue, and not the use of the term in the prior thread. LHOD’s response was to deflect that post by once again focusing entirely on his use of the term in the prior thread, and declaring that to be “the end”, nothing else to discuss, thereby excluding the exact issue that CC raised. My link was to an instance of LHOD taking a stance against the exact sort of hypocrisy that CC pointed out here, and which he (LHOD) now feels to be unworthy of discussion. ---

Great, now I think we’ve found your error! May I offer a counter interpretation? “The end” is an admission by **LHOD** that he has no defense against the charge of hypocrisy. That, yes he too has done the assholish thing he’s just criticized, that he shouldn’t have, and that he won’t try and justify his assholishness. Not because the subject is unworthy of _discussion_, but because his part in that discussion is to admit hypocrisy, full stop. There. Feel better? ---

Perhaps \*\*LHOD \*\*could film himself explaining that through interpretive dance and post it on Youtube for **F-P** to see? ---

By the way, I have to admit the exchange has done absolutely nothing to diminish my regard for **LHOD** , his general posting style, his character, or the typically excellent content of his posts. If anything, I’d say his simple admission increased my regard by some insignificant factor. Hypocrisy is a human failing, exhibited by everyone who has posted prolifically in a continuing on line forum. And even by less prolific posters like me. It’s not the self-reflective ones who can recognize their errors when they’re shown to them that typically need further “correction” by their peers. But as usual YMMV. Have your own party. ---

But I believe your interpretation is incorrect. The sentence which preceded “the end” was “I used it, I shouldna”. That was about his own use of the term “butthurt”, and was not about his implying in this thread that cochrane was “an asshole” for having done the same. If he wants to clarify that he was indeed a hypocrite for the statement in this thread about cochrane, then that’s something else. ---

The full context is very easy to follow, it’s all in one post and that post is right up there just a few posts above us. [Here’s the link to post 147.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21078205&postcount=147) If you _need_ clarification after reading that, then I don’t think the exactitude of the exchange between **Crazy Canuck** and **Left Hand of Dorkness** is the problem here.
