What were you THINKING?

Dinsdale–read the room, dude. Discussion of a racial slur is not the place to be flippant and cracking jokes about how people are too sensitive. And when someone explains to you that the term was used against them, you don’t make light of it.

In case anyone isn’t motivated to go back and read the exchange, his flippant assholery was not just in response to someone who had been called that term, but a person who had been called that while being whipped by apartheid police.

I don’t know how that level of shittiness doesn’t merit a warning.

@MrDibble

Eh, it’s Dinsdale, he’s always been troll-ish.

Fucking Dinsdale rears his ugliness again in my Jon Stewart thread in CS. Several of us were discussing Stewart’s highly emotional, heartfelt tribute to his dog who had passed away the previous day (at the end of last Monday’s show, Feb 26). It was a mutt that they adopted from a no-kill animal shelter of which they are patrons; the poor guy got hit by a car and lost a front leg, but continued to live a happy life and bring joy to the Stewart family for more than 11 years.

Stewart’s emotional tribute brought some of us to tears. Fucking Dinsdale had this to say:

@Dinsdale

That was my least favorite part. Impressed me as self-indulgent.

Well, you impress me as a callous inhuman jackass completely devoid of empathy. Which should already have been clear from your idiotic and mercenary views on health care. Fuck right off.
