[QUOTE=JKellyMap] I’m especially saddened by Colibri. [/quote] Well boo-fuckin-hoo. As for me, “saddening” a sanctimonious weenie like you makes my day. I’m really glad that your ilk is a pretty small minority on the board. > [@](#): > > If I wrote a column This is a pit thread, not a column, nimrod. > [@](#): > > about how Colibri was a pretentious asshole who cared more about birds than people\*, > [@](#): > > \*Not a hypothetical, apparently. Man, you really are a twit. Neither I nor most people in this thread, including most of the actual Mexicans, think there was anything offensive about the thread title or OP. I guess that must mean that none of us “care about people.” > [@](#): > > AND I happened to know that he was Jewish\*\*, should I title my thread “You Jewish asshole?”. Absolutely, if the assholishness had something to do with being Jewish, like playing the shofar at 4 in the morning or singing “Muskrat Love” in Yiddish at the top of my voice. > [@](#): > > If you were “wondering all along how long it would take for some stupid offenderati to come along”, then you are admitting right there that there was something a bit unusual about the choice of words in this thread title.) Sure. The thread title was probably intentionally provocative, but there was nothing wrong with it given the OP. But knee-jerk types like you won’t see that. > [@](#): > > Last thing – Don’t diss me for highjacking, because half my original (short) post in this thread was about an anecdote from my own life much like the OP’s. Yeah, but the first part of that post was a stupid comment that you’ve spent most of the rest of your posts trying to justify. You would have come off better if you had just dropped it. ---

Hey, thanks- oh. Damn. :smack: See, now I’m curious. So how about it, **Monkey**? You were telling Avi to wash and wax your car in nothing but a Speedo, weren’t you? :dubious: Of course he’d do that for Antonio. From the way he’s described, _I’d_ do that for Antonio. ---

[QUOTE=Colibri] Sure. The thread title was probably intentionally provocative. [/QUOTE] I honestly appreciate that this observation has been noted – in all seriousness, it didn’t occur to me at first. If so, then, it could be seen as a mild, harmless form of phishing – specifically, phishing for “offenderati” or whatever it is that you idiots call 'em. Anyway, I love reading anything Colibri has to say on scientific matters, but when it comes to human interaction, he’s a bit \*insular \* for my taste – maybe he should get out of Barro Colorado Island more often and check out the wider world. ---

The “offenderati” here are the ones whose pristine sensibilities are offended by the idea that people may (gasp!) comment on the things you write here. Also, y’all are just willfully obtuse for not finding a comment like “damnit, Avi, I’ve dealt with too many Mexicans to buy the “no hablo Ingles” trick” racist. :rolleyes: ---

[QUOTE=Lama Pacos] The “offenderati” here are the ones whose pristine sensibilities are offended by the idea that people may (gasp!) comment on the things you write here. [/QUOTE] Heh. Tried that upthread. Look what happened! 🙂 Seems some people aren’t good with their reactions when you hold a mirror up to them. **Colibri** , I’ll spell it out for you: you are not _responding_ to people with sticks up their arses. You _are_ the guy with the stick up his arse. If you think people are spending too much time defending what they wrote against what you have to say, maybe it’s because what you have to say is needlessly insulting and misrepresentative, and you have been called on it. Tough shit. ‘Offenderati’ is a most amusing word. Rather like ‘tree-huggers’ and even ‘liberals’ though, it tends to identify a phantom group merely to allow its user to feel smug and righteous. I’m sure you’re better than this. **Vinyl Turnip** , are you suggesting that the OP was ‘baiting a hook with a turd’? Because that sounds like an accusation of trollery. Not that you can’t make those here, it’s just that you presumably don’t mean to, and of course you’d be wrong if you _did_. ---

[/QUOTE] No, if I made an accusation of trollery it would be more like “sir, I accuse you of _ **trollery** _.” I just meant that some fish are dumber than others, and they’re the ones that end up with a mouthful of turd and hook. And man, they seem to be bitin’ today.
