Why do forum members think that saying "ghey" or "gaey" magically shields them from being called bigots?

[JamesTiberiusKirk]

How do you feel about your freedom to form your own opinion!

Do you find value in it?

I certainly value my freedom to form my own opinion.

I also value when I learn, either on my own or by someone explaining to me, why my opinion may be wrong.

I've changed my mind on LOTS of things in my life.

 

[DanTravis62]

Did I disrespect you and call you names? No.

Why that is your reflex reaction?

I never called YOU a bigot or a fool. There are only two or three people here I'd call that and you aren't one of them.

You called me retarded, and you called people bigots for using the mean words. Don't try to walk it back now.

If you don't like that people can actually express themselves to a certain extent without getting banned, you can go to TGP with toneboner and play barbies.

People like you are so fucking obnoxious.

There's a big group of kids playing baseball. And you and tonenonce come over here and angrily yell at everyone "YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO PLAY BASEBALL OR YOURE A JERK! Everyone else needs to play barbie with US!"

And everyone rightly makes fun of you.

Suck it up or leave, dumbass.

But you value your freedom and even the right to form your own opinions about anything and everything?

 

[JamesTiberiusKirk]

If you disrespect a mod here its grounds for a time out. Not saying you did that just saying its one of the few rules at rig talk.

I was hoping youd participate in the blues thread rather than getting sucked back into the vortex of people you disagree with.

I only really, as I said earlier, hold two or three people here in contempt. They know who they are. And one of them really can't help himself, he's just wired wrong.

Ya, talking blues is way more fun.

 

[JamesTiberiusKirk]

But you value your freedom and even the right to form your own opinions about anything and everything?

Yes. And I give everyone else the same latitude.

But, that doesn't mean me and everyone else is always right.

James has never insulted me. I think its a case of trading sleights with other member who go there. Maybe im wrong since i havent followed every conversation.

 

[JamesTiberiusKirk]

Only in reply to insults aimed at me.

Oh, two people here get 'free ones'. You're not one of them.

C'mon, you've never changed your opinion on anything?

For example, and this is a recent and a big one for me - I used to support Israel unconditionally. Not any more. And that doesn't make me an antisemite.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS!

Whats a nonce? Ive never heard that before. I dont have a gen z lexicon here and am afraid to look it up. Can someone give me a PG definition?

Without looking it up, I think it's a British slang word for sex offender.

EDIT: Ya, I just googled. That's it. I read that it's Brit prison slang.

The irony is that there's a large, diverse group of people of wildly different ethnicities. genders, sexualities, and worldviews, and they all agree where the lines are drawn. Except for these two. God help up us if we don't want to play barbie with the kids who kick their own ass when they run.

It started as british prison slang for a sex offender, but has progressed into a general insult in the modern parlance. It's mostly because him and what's his face were arguing about sex offender statistics.

You see Robo, when he calls everyone bigots and fools unprovoked, that's just him "living his truth" or whatever

When everyone insults him back, that's everyone mistreating him for no reason.

Uhhh, to what lines are u referring??

Thread 'Heads-up - I've Greatly Simplified the Rules Sticky'

... in the interests of making things easier for newbs.

There was a lot of unnecessary fluff in there.

Thank you to @311boogieman for his timely "reminder" of this; I'd been intending to get this done literally for years at this point and ironically had figured I ought to do it just this week. Dude must be psychic.

OTC Rebooted - RULES WITHIN

Now that it's as clear as I can make it, it should be easier to glance over and understand.

We have our own rules. They are not the same rules you may be used to. This isn't TGP.

Oh no, we're not doing your pedantic "I ACKSHUALLY DIDN'T DO IT DIRECTLY" bullshit today james.

"I don't suffer fools"

"I don't countenance bigots because I am morally superior to everyone"

No james, no one is buying your bullshit today. Everyone knows exactly what you meant and who you were talking about.

You pull this bullshit all the time, and no one is impressed. This isn't a supreme court judicial case, and everyone knows what you were doing.
