Reply #283: What's "Crap" is your usage of an epithet meant specifically to demean [View All]

[A HERETIC I AM]

an entire group of DU members by associating them with the Ku Klux Klan merely because they use an administrator approved feature of this message board in a fashion you don't approve of.

If you feel my using the word "crap" was an attack, fine. I didn't say you were crap, I said your usage of that term was a load of crap. I think you using "KKK" inside that word is tantamount to calling me and every other DU'r that uses the unrec feature a hood wearing, torch flaming, cross burning, homophobic, lynching, cowardly racist.

It was an ENTIRELY honest question. I wanted to know if you actually equate people who use that feature with members of the KKK. Your dodge was not only laughable, it was badly worded and pointless.
Here was my supposdly "not honest" question;

Out of curiosity, do you really mean to equate a DU member who unrecs a thread to being a member of the Ku Klux Klan? Seriously? "UnReKKKers" What a load of crap.

To which you replied;

Are you doing performance art, acting out the premise of the thread?! And, "seriously," were you really interested in an answer before reaching your epithet?! However, to satiate your curiosity (if there really was any), the UnReKKKing I refer to are those given to innocuous threads, where a mere response would suffice without the thread having a mark of Cain put on it. But thanks for proving my point, resting my case, jumping da bones!1

"Performance art"? "Mark of Cain"? "jumping da bones"? What an incredibly non sequitur laden post. Regardless of whether or not a thread is "innocuous" do you honestly think it is appropriate to associate a fellow DU'r with an infamous white supremacist group merely because they used a feature of this board?

No, it was *not* "an honest question." I replied very specifically, that very frequently the UnReKKK is used for INNOCUOUS or otherwise characteristically Democratic threads, threads that do NOT call for it.

Yeah, you were specific alright. Specifically justifying your usage of a patently offensive and insulting term that characterizes other members of this board in a reprehensible way.


But carry on. There isn"t a damned thing I can do about it except alert on posts where I see it used in the future. One consolation for you; You aren't the only one to use KKK tacked onto a word or a name, not by a long shot.
