The Good State of Offtopic

[rah]

I never said it wasn't an issue before, just said social media exaggerates it by making it easier to vent it in public.
But thanks for being offended by my simple claim.

He called you old. You should be outraged.

Why is disagreement synonymous with offense?

 

[rah]

But I am old. Just think about all the outrage over a simple comment that government is in the back pocket of lobbyists. (Which is pretty true)

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Why is disagreement synonymous with offense?

How dare you question that.

 

[rah]

Certainly read like it. You pulled out the race card, insulted people, but yeah, maybe I was just offended by it

 

[Synobun]

That's... not the race card. Where is the insult?

 

[rah]

not the race card.

You were alive during the days of when someone being black was offensive

Where is the insult

Maybe humans are just not that great.

 

[Synobun]

Yeah, that's not the race card.

And that's also not an insult, unless for some reason you think you're included in the group that acted that way.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

And that's also not an insult, unless for some reason you think you're included in the group that acted that way.

It's more of an "age card," since there is a vast segment of millennials who act as if they believe that EVERYONE older than them acted that way.

 

[rah]

Never said I was insulted, just that it was insult.


I'm not offended enough to argue it any longer and will leave it to others to make their own judgement.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Pick me! Pick me!

I'm always willing to make a judgement!

 

[rah]

I think Lex is much more judgmental than you. But go ahead.
I refuse to take this too seriously.

 

[Synobun]

This has been a weird back and forth, but whatever works for you, I guess.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

I think he just takes his judgements more seriously than I take mine, so if you are refusing to take this too seriously I am clearly your guy.

Weren't you just preaching about owning what you say? Well, pfft, so much for that.

I will say it again. I stand by what I said. I am owning it.

I will not be pulled into a pointless argument. I said what I said. I meant it and I think it sums up how I feel about the situation nicely and respectfully.

'nuff said.

Are you sure you work in the mental health business with so confrontational an attitude even in a web forum?

This is my off time. Why should I have abuse heaped on me during my off time and turn the other cheek? No one else has to do it. Why should I?

And yet some people -not saying Mary was one of them- do approach the forum as something more than off-time. Had you been a poster you might have to respect that, but as a mod i think you sort of are expected to.

No one should have to put up with abuse on this forum. Not the posters, and not the moderators. I do put up with quite a bit, and sometimes it's even warranted, but my point is that I shouldn't have to. And neither should you.
