Or might I?!
Ha ha, you didn’t see that one coming.
Anyway, the helium thing is not about the Irish, it’s how Leprechauns talk. (Seemingly from that ad, they also have Hungarian accents.)
Fear Itself is merely being Leprechaunist, which is why he called it PC gone mad. Heaven forbid he should find himself in a crowd of dancing Leprechauns during a hurling match without a box of Lucky Charms to placate them.
I don’t just call people stupid. I point out in logical detail why they are cretins, I talk about their ancestral shortcomings, their personal problems, and the reasons why they should immediately enroll in the ITT technical college location of their choice so that they can learn the skills they need to find a job in the market today.
Also, when I call someone stupid, I don’t tend to just use the word stupid over and over again. We have such a wonderous variety of words; why limit oneself to just one? (Other than being, well, you know.)
Here we go again. I do wish you’d stop carrying on. If you want to insult someone, just say it right out. No reason to take the long road and make us read letter after letter just to get to the point. I mean, why beat around the bush like that? We’ve better things to do. Get on with the business of being insulting and stop being so coy. Instead you’ve got to burden us with some long winded diatribe. Behavior like that makes me think less of you.
Well, after having familiarized myself with the entirely idiotic thread linked in the OP and the entirely idiotic line of reasoning set forth by Fear Itself, I have to come down partially against the OP. I don’t think Fear Itself was implying a racial slur about Irish folks – I think he was implying a personal insult directly to Fuji. In other words, the response that he did not make, because it would be forum-inappropriate, was something along the lines of, “ok, maybe all Irish people don’t sound like imbeciles, but you sure do.”
For serious though, I do regret being as strident and snarky as I was in the other thread. I probably should’ve been calmer, spent more time explaining my reasoning, yadda yadda. I posted an apology in the other thread before I saw this one but, ah well. Suffice it to say I certainly argued like a bit of an asshole, but I don’t have a trollish bone in my body. If I come out swinging it’s because I’m in a fighting mood, not because I care one whit whether or not I piss people off.
“Durr, the Australians are de racists but it ain’t cos we racists it’s cos dey got ads with black people and that must be racist cos Kentucky said so and you all stupid and racists. As such, my cite is your mind.”
Fair enough. Just for the record, I was not calling you an idiot - just saying that you were acting like an idiot in that thread. We’ve all been there. I actually think you’re a decent poster most of the time.
Now I’m just wondering if the guest of honor will make an appearance…
I might be more stupid than previously imagined, but what ethnic slur was Fear Itself (most likely) implying? It would probably help if I read the thread in question, but I don’t feel like it.
Yeah, but there was comedy gold, and villa reminded me of my favorite Boy George song, and I’m rocking out to it on you tube right now, so it is, in my opinion, worth the 10 points.
