By so doing, he's made the moderators a bit nervous, and they're now spring-loaded to silence those who bite Aaron back, when he gets nasty. They've chosen this tactic because they can't control Aaron, and feel they can't ban him, because he's whined about being racially discriminated against. So, the easiest way to solve the 'Aaron problem' is to apply pressure on the 'easy targets', e.g., those of us who can most deftly shut Aaron down or at least make him pay for his belligerence. I love this website, but its playing field should be kept level. If someone acts like a butthole, he deserves to be treated like one. Aaron dishes it out, but whines to Papa whenever it's dished back. What happened to equality? Does it only apply to those who play the race-card? I thought that was one element of corruption we always stood against around here. Just my two cents. :thumbup:
Oh, now the aggressors are playing the victim. I'm no more obnoxious and rude than the lot of you have been, even less so...but so as not to get into a "pissing contest" that you seem to be so fond of doing...let's stay to the point.
Race would never be brought up, if others wouldn't make it an issue...but since that is a vehicle to slur with, many of you play the race card when it suits you.
I need silencing? I make people nervous? I need controlling?
My, how did I get to be so powerful, and the source of fear?
You give me credit I'm not due.
What you are afraid of, is someone expressing "their truth", which oftimes conflicts with your beliefs and stereotypes, and feels uncomfortable.
Grow up and deal with it...
Why have I had to adjust to a world dominated by "white people" (just reality, again...deal with it), who refuse to ever leave their little boxes to find out how others live and feel? Because you don't care...all you care about is yourselves...but "for show" , you pay a lot of lip service to make people think that you're not racist... that you believe in the doctrine of the Declaration of Independence, where all men are "supposed" to be equal (except you don't really believe that)...but you don't want to be seen as not embracing American ideals.....how Un-American. How hypocritical. How pointless.
Now you're an "easy" target for me? Forget you. You are not that important, although you think you are...I have other important stuff going on in my life, some of which I've foolishly shared with you (and have been called "a liar" over)
You can't even acknowledge the good or the meaningful that others do, because the truth of the matter is you are not doing anything "good or meaningful"....which is sad, but entirely your own fault. Don't blame others for what you're not doing.
Well, I'm hanging by a proverbial thread, not mostly behind anything that I have said, but mostly behind what I represent..." a threat"...a black man, gay at that, who can intelligently express ideas and concepts, and use the English language masterfully. Well, to that I say...deal with it. Not my issue.
Now who's whining? And crying "foul'? And a little while ago, so full of bluster and manliness.
If I had lesser sensibilities, or lacked confidence, I might be offended by being called "a butthole"...but I point it out to illustrate my assertion that I can be attacked, but I am not allowed to defend against attacks, without the threat of being banned...so, I wind up, essentially, a pinata.
Well, forgive me, but my mama didn't raise no fool...so I give it back to you, and you don't like it.
Well, some things, like honor, are worth fighting for....even if it results in banishment....one thing...if I go, you'll know I've been here. And that's something.
Stumble It!
