And again I say, put your money where your fucking mouth is, dickhead
Yes, it's another Frequently Asked Questions post.
- How can you let those people post comments at your site?
- I'm sorry, love, which people do you mean?
- You know who I mean!
- No, sorry, as I've mentioned before, I ain't Surak of Vulcan, and me telepathy is a bit wonky. You'll have to tell me who, specifically, you're talking about and what, specifically, they posted in comments that's got your knickers in a twist.
- It's not what they posted in comments, it's what they say at their own sites!
- What who posted at what site? Again, not really following you.
- Those people. Conservatives.
- Again,give me a name and a specific citation, child. Can't say as I appreciate when other folks call me one of "those people," so I'm not thrilled at hearing it slung at other people either.
- I'm not playing your game.
- Nor am I playing yours. It appears we have reached an impasse.
- . . . asshole. It's not what they're posting in your comments, it's what they say at their own sites.
- Bitch, who the fuck is "they"? And if you're convinced that what "they" say at their sites ain't to your liking, why the fuck do you read it?
- I can't talk to you.
- Well, that's certainly making my life poorer. Buh-bye. Don't let that screen door hit you on the ass on the way out.
Few days back, my hero Teresa Nielsen Hayden did ask Is it me —
— or has the entire universe been unnaturally irritating lately?
And a bit further in the entry, all of which is very much worth reading, points out, "I have no time for people who appoint me to strange roles in their rich inner fantasy lives. I’m not responsible for what I do in their dreams."
Which lets me know that she's the one I ripped that sentiment/statement off from. Me secondary battle cry, that is.
The first one remains Grow the fuck up, and it looks like I'll not be retiring either of them any time soon. Nubian Goddess knows I'd like to. . .

Comments
I'm not sure I want to know who's asking that. On the other hand, I have conservative friends who wonder the same thing about my frothing liberal pals.
I will admit that I was influenced when I booted the one person I booted by what he posted on other sites, but that was about his bad commenting habits and not about what he posted on his own site, which I never looked at much. And it wasn't even about his sentiments so much as his inability to settle for anything less than the last word in an argument.
In that sense, one's bad habits often return to haunt one. But I really don't like the thoughtcrime aspect of "don't befriend people you disagree with".

Ginger, ah-yep. As with so many things, the left (if you want to bother calling it that) in the US is bad at the whole "demonization of the enemy" thing, but the right is just that much worse.
I mean, yes, obviously, John Kerry, the Democratic Party as a whole, the UN, "Old Europe" and I, personally, would welcome our new theocratic overlords, and surrender to Al Qaeda in a heartbeat if not for the dedicated perseverance of the warbloggers.
I truly want to think no one seriously believes that.
I also want to think no one seriously believes that anyone who votes for Bush must be Satan incarnate.
Hell, I want to think that if any of the idjits were serious about winning -- or better still, averting -- a war, they'd try to build as broad a coalition as possible and worry about fixing our little internal squabbles afterwards.
I want to think all sorts of things.
And I want a Playstation 2.

I believe that sort of list traditionally ends with "And I want a pony", actually.
Posted by: Ginger at March 20, 2004 03:39 PM
Ginger, true.
But I don't want a smelly old pony.
I want a Red Limited Edition Playstation 2.
Ooo, and some vegan carrot cake!
