Re: You've reproduced????

Uncalled for. No one is forcing you to read or respond to Brad’s posts, so why on earth are you going out of your way to simply go down the ad hominem road?
How about "because cluttering up the forum with with unintelligible gibberish is itself bad form"?
As has been asked for above, if anyone can translate, please feel free to do so.

... none of which has anything to do with anything, as far as I can see, Brad. It seems to be complete non sequitur with this thread or any other. I do not know what you are saying, or trying to say, or want to say.

Re: the glaring hypocrisy of contracycle
quote:
And this hurts you how? And justifies ad hominem attacks against Brad how?
It hurst me becuase its unintelligible gibberish cluttering up a forum. It is noise, not signal.

I always knew you were a fraud. No one can crack the slightest joke about any minority group at any time without you labelling them a hate monger, but you see it as okay to make vicious attacks against an individual with communications difficulties?
Well, I don't know he has communication difficulties; all I know is that this gibberish appears. Furthermore, your "logic" here is simply absurd - racism is not about "minorities", but about groups, and secondly my concerns are not based on "nice"ness.
Where is the collectuive responsibility? Where is the stereotype? Quite obviously, this is nothing like hate speech whatsoever, and no form of hypocrisy whatsoever.
What we see here rather is the sublime arrogance of berberry, who quite clearly has never bothered to engage with anything I had to say on the topic of hate-speech at all.

There have been such threads, and it would not be appropriate to link them here IMO as that would only take things even more off track. You are quite right to say that post is off topic, I was just responding to the stupidity of berberry's argument.

From the absurd to the farcical.
Racist jokes = OK. Pointing out nonsense = suspension.
Great values on display.

Please see Message 22. While board administration is not infallible, it is the majority opinion of moderators that Brad is difficult to understand but well-intentioned.
I'm a materialist. "Intentions" are undemonstrable, untestable, and thus irrelevant.
