I have reviewed my posts to see where your continued misconstrual of my words comes from. I can't see it.
The said part is that you lack the empathy to see how offensive your attitude is.

I take it in stride because he knows not what he says.
Irony.
I do take your offensive attitude(s) in stride, but that doesn't make them less offensive.
It's not just direct comparisons of gay people to animals, etc. that are offensive - it's the juxtaposition of ideas. If we were talking about African-Americans and I made an analogy about "dirty apes", do you see how some people might be offended? If I said I wasn't comparing African-Americans to dirty apes, would that magically erase the offense?
As I said, it's sad that some people can blythely walk around crunching other people's toes and ignoring their cries of pain.

So it comes down to this: A smart crook doesn't get sanctioned but an honest fool does.

Re: comparisons aren't insulting if there is a valid reason for drawing them
nemesis_juggernaut writes:
Again, if my sarcasm was derrogatory or sardonic to the point where it extended past jocularity, I apologize.
See, that apology would ring a lot truer if it had come fifty posts ago, or six threads ago.
When you step on somebody's toes (as I stepped on berberry's toes a while ago), you should apologize immediately and try to rectify the situation. You shouldn't deny, deny, deny all the way to the hospital and shout, "Keep your big feet out from under mine," through the operating-theater window while the toes are being reattached.
Now berberry and I are on good terms and most of you probably don't even remember what the hell incident I'm talking about. You, on the other hand, have taken a third of a thread to apologize and in the process, two people have been suspended.
That, I think, is why some people have expressed dismay at your admin appointment. Are you an admin because you're qualified for the job, or just because you're on "the other side"?
A lot of the success of EvC is down to respect for the admins, I think. Don't spoil that.

Are you suggesting that I'm not fair? Are you suggesting that I show bias in the capacity of my Admin duties?
I'm saying that I can understand why others have complaints.

Is seems to me that Nemesis_juggernaut has proven himself to be a homophobic twit, or something like that. Message 111
I don't see how Mooses's perception can be faulted.
Let's not get so caught up in whitewashing the burn marks that we forget what caused the fire.

We shouldn't be. We've torn down the curtains that caught fire and we've thrown them away - but we haven't done anything about the bad wiring that caused the fire. It will cause more fires unless it's fixed.
If I were Percy, I'd worry about a coup d'état right now.
Firing the Fire Department doesn't solve the problem either.

Speaking of "brief yet clear":
When a moderator uses up a post to say, "Topic Reminder! Remember the topic, people!" I don't find that particularly helpful. It would be nice if they told us what their idea of on-topic and off-topic was.
Remember that not all of us are narrowly focused. Some of us are explorers.
