However, I’d like to say that anyone that feels the need to make personal attacks on anyone - name calling of Eric OR Sayed - well, you know, I really hate trolls. Of all kinds. It’s somewhat hypocritical to comment in support of a friend - and then go name calling the other person in the same way. Even if it’s just in these comments. Or in a ficticious url “joke.”
End bossy little lecture.

*UGH* The worst kind of trolls too… COMEDY TROLLS.
Deleted. I must have missed them last night.
Thanks Batty.

And now I’m confused as hell about Derek Jeter.
I’m out of the loop again, aren’t I?

-e-. what can I say guy…you hit it dead on with “She didn’t deserve this. She really didn’t.”
she defended a friend, something you have done countless numbers of times, and got slammed for it.
*shaking head* thats not right, it doesn’t matter if he had any ‘control’ over the situation or not, its a stupid ‘game’ that he created, she asked to be removed, period. that should have been that…perhaps instead of declaring his innocence in the whole matter he should have put a little more effort into asking others NOT to be taking these types of actions, and figuring out how to take removal requests via email.
*whew* ok, I think I’m done now we luv’s ya guy!

The first time someone is an ass - you can generally chalk it up to mis-communication or whatever.

The second time someone is an ass, you can surmise that they might be *really hurt* by something *you* (General Population here “you” not *Eric* “you”) said or did.

The third time someone’s an ass you can ALWAYS chalk it up to the fact that they’re an ass. It’s become a pattern.

When someone gets up to 5+ times (you know, like Say-howeverthehellyouspellit) they’ve made it a fact. That person is an ass, and furthermore they either don’t know or just don’t care.

I mean, they guy is using you, Eric, to carry on a little *ohimsofuckingpathetic* pity-party when really, when you get right down to it: You made a crude comment. He whined (which is his right) did a BUNCH of other asshole stuff (which was wrong) you apologized (which was again right) then he just kept right on.

The guy’s a freakshow and a troll in thee WORST way, because he’s using people and treating them like shit over something *you* said which *you* apologized for which *he* said he accepted.

So what happened? Nothing good. That’s what.

Some people will ALWAYS be total assholes and you (and all you other people) will just have to accept that and delete the comments they make, blacklist their asses, or comment right back with some other kind of ripshit that’s not going to offend anyone’s PC sensibilities.

Or, close down your blog.

Now I know that most people who write a weblog (the prolific ones I mean) may get POed and quit for awhile, but they’re not going to let shit like this guy take away something that belongs to them.

I’ve seen it 1000 times, as have you, Eric. You know it’s true, and this guy’s just another asshole with his head in the sand (shit I SURE hope that doesn’t count as a racial slur - but then ya never know - do you? Damn us proud American Wannabe German Norwegians who are also part Native Americans straight to hell!!!) who doesn’t mind hurting people to reach his own ends. Sooner or later, people will realize that. I guess I just hope it’s sooner.

I personally hope Faith DOES whip his as in any way she can. Then maybe he’ll shut the hell up and we can go back to bitching about people who are at least FUN to make fun of. This guy is just too damned lame to come up with a good old-fashioned acidic retort.

Yeah, baby.

Using the silly mentality of the trolls:
Using remarks like “The straw that broke the camel’s back”… TABOO. It denotes an animal from a specific region and can be construed as a derogatory remark towards Arabs.

We recomend saying: “The tiny fiber that, sadly and regrettably*, did damage and injury to the dromedary’s physical well being”

*(We don’t want to piss off PETA now, do we?)

If you bitch about “Nigerian Bank Email Scams” - You sir, are a fucking racist!!!! There is no need to specify it’s from Nigeria is there?

“Chinese Food” - another racist remark that I will not tolerate! Why discriminate? That cat, uhm, I mean chicken you’re dipping in sweet & sour sauce did not come from China now did it? Stereotypes!!!! Blatant racist sterotypes I tell you!

To call that poor cat, uhm, again I mean chicken, a “Chinese Food” is an ethnic slur!!!!

Oh there’s plenty of comedic fodder to go on with Sayed (ESPECIALLY since he can’t take a fucking joke)…

More quotes from the “Web’s Minister of Information”:

“The haters are sick in their heads, all these claims of people de-listing is just an illusion!”

“I let the players here live. Just to be nice. Not because I have to.”

“Your blog is not you. Your eyeballs are not you. You are not you”.

Getting lame here… will come up with more Sayed-isms tomorrow.

PS: I disagree with Batgrl’s assessment that “A joke at someone else’s expense isn’t funny.”

Those are the FUNNIEST!
(Unless it’s ME on the receiving end of a joke.. I think we can all agree that’s wrong.)

I swear. You’re SO way lucky it’s a fun time of month!
Big Hugs!

When I can be bothered I’m going to remove the link. I have better things to do.

Then again, it all comes down to context.
The intent of the joke, how it was framed.
Thus says George Carlin, btw, who I personally feel knows his shit.
If it was meant to be hurtful, it’s only funny to people that dig that kinda thing. I tend to not think that kind thing is funny. If it was meant to point out something other than a needless jab at ethnicity, perhaps humor on a different level, pointing out some kind of problem on a societal level or hypocrisy - then there’s more to it than just the comment.

If you call someone a name - and there’s not a point you’re trying to make - well, it’s just name calling.

And all of you who can’t understand that are cocksuckers.
See? Now that’s funny, goddamn it.
