Bullshit. “Stereotyping” is descibing people you don’t know, and have never met, will never meet.
You just say this stuff, as if by stating it, it automatically becomes so. Like you throw shit against the wall, just to see what sticks. And this won’t stick. Just because you say it, it doesn’t mean it is so.
I mean, I could say, “Anyone who uses the name Diogenes, is a dorky loser geekwad. I mean really! “Diogenes” is such a geeky characteristic!”
Sorry if I offended anyone. At a certain point, I think I was just to trying to wind people up. The crack about priests was over the line. I apologize for that.
Tuck, I am not so sure we need moderator intervention here. I would place this under the same catagory as giving one enough rope… to hang ones self.
The original Diogenes roamed the land, looking for truth. Diogenese the Cynic may be looking for the truth as well. Remember, young modern truth seeker, if you celebrate freedom of speech, you must also accept the responsibility inherent. And part of that responsibility is to face the slings and arrows of those with whom you disagree.
Truth will come to those with an open heart and an open mind.
Macauley, too late, the e-mail’s already sent, and I shan’t rescind it. There was some healthy debate going on in this thing, but now it’s gotten ugly. Best it’s put down before it gets worse.
Go ahead , Tucker, put a fork in it. I was trying to amuse myself with your thread and it was inappropriate. I’m sorry. I went too far. I have an immature streak that gets the better of me sometimes. I thought I was being funny but i wasn’t. My sincere apologies to everyone. I’m an abject failure as a whoosher. I shouldn’t even try.
Yeah, ordinarily I’d have thought you were “whooshing” us, but I believe we are usually supposed to take each other at face value, unless informed otherwise. In order to control the accusations of “troll”.
Since you are an old-timer (or relative old-timer) here, I thought you would have known that. Yeah, your whooshing skills suck. Treading on thin ice, and all that.
But, your apoloty is noted, I believe you are sincere in it, yadda yadda yadda.
And the number of them who care about that now are exactly the same as the number of them who cared about it beforehand: Zero. I really wish I’d left my pecker out of this. (Yup, I’ve said before.)
