... Hey, wait a second... uh, you're talking to ME?
Oops, I think we've made sort of a mistake here! (And if you could hear me (I type while talking out loud, cuz if I don't sound out the words I get confused), you would tell that there was a special inflection there, so that when I said that "we've" I really meant "you've". I just wanted to be clear, so there's no more confusion. ;) ) See, I think you meant to reply to someone else, but clicked to quote MY post by mistake.
The reason I think this is because I never once claimed you were ordering me to do anything. Or me ordering you. Or whatever. At least, I'm pretty sure I didn't. I may have typed it in "invisible intent words" what I'm not trained to see, but can apparently type without knowing!
I also never really condoned what we did on OUR FORUMS, or did I really claim we were vigilantes or righting wrongs or all virgins. Again, it could be those mysterious invisible words that my invisible second pair of chubby fingers are typing, even as I type this! Ghostly! Someone contact Harrison Ford, or M. Knight Shayamalan!
Actually, maybe you WERE responding to me, because you laughed at my last paragraph. Thanks! I wrote it to be funny, and you laughed, so that means I win the internet. Although I wonder why you seem indignant. You say I'm wrong because I didn't understand that you were only expressing an opinion, then I sort of painted a picture of a guy with a broomstick up his ass expressing an opinion, and you say that, uh, I'm wrong. Or something? I dunno, a cat walked by my porch doors as I typed this and I got distracted.
I think what I'm saying is, I think the routines of every black comic ON THE PLANET are inappropriate and just feeding the hate machine. Thank you.
First of all, no, perhaps you didn't claim any of those things, but from reading back over that post, I can't help but see those things implied there. Maybe my understanding of posts has gone kaputt in it's old age of 17 years. Or maybe not. The implications can still be there, it doesn't matter if you directly accused me of doing anything or not, or if you didn't publically condone those threads/jokes. Now, you may not have openly stated that, but really "SOE wronged" you? So you decided to rant "ironically" by posting racist jokes? Next time devs in an MMO do something that I don't like, I'm gonna go post that all Jews should be shot, because that seems like the right course of action.
But really, I don't think that wording is a coincidence, now is it? Just look at it. From the sarcastic tone, to the finale of an equally sarcastic hyperbole (isn't that, in itself, implying that you condone those jokes?). C'mon now, really.
Arguing over something like this is the same as arguing over abortion, it's not going to go anywhere because each individual's ideas are too implanted and unchangable. Show some class and know the difference between insult and argument, both sides. No matter what your opinion may be, you should be able to recognize that there are places where jokes may be exceptable and those where they are not. Poor judgement was the cause of Andeh's banning, not SOE's strict policies or others' "inability to take a joke"
Dude, what the hell. Get out of here with that 'makin' sense' crap. Everyone knows the internet exists so we can hurl meaningless words at each other and pretend like it means something.
In other news, it is INCREDIBLY easy to get lost in Wikipedia... I just keep clickin' those damned blue words!

Heh, that seems to be what my main use for "teh intarweb" is at the moment.

Keep dodging the bullet
Look at all that quoting! It makes my post here seem longer and filled with more content.
See, the truth of the matter here is that I don't condone racism, but I don't think we were being racists. I think you guys are just being overanxious drama queens and stoking a fire that's barely embers, and drinking from the overflowing cup of internet drama. And mmmm, it's better that Kool-Aid. OH YEAH!
To be quite frank, in this world we live in, if you're picking jokes out as the thing to get all huffy over, you need to get out more, or read a damned newspaper.
To be perfectly honest (as opposed to 'quite frank', like I was in the previous paragraph, or as I like to call them, WORKS OF ART) with you guys here (since we're such good friends and all), the only reason I came here in the first place is to toss slabs of meat at Peaches and watch him go apesh*t, like a tiger at a zoo. I didn't have much else more entertaining planned for my morning. If you wanna continue arguing, I'd be more than happy to oblige, but keep in mind: I niether agree nor disagree with you. I'm just having fun. Feel free to get all worked up at your discretion, though, honeybunches.
Ha, some of you would most likely die of a heart attack if you ever went to see Carlos Mencia live. To quote him (snooty voice) "Oh my god, he said the N word!!" ::shrug:: I guess my overall opinion is it's worse for society to not be able to take a joke than for society to make tasteless jokes.
And interesting assertions about all of DT since some of you obviously, well, know ALL of DT.

Wow, it really does make my post seem to burst at the seams with content. And I'm done, just fyi. I had my chance to rant about something, and I took it. Very satisfying. And if I get worked up, you'll know about it. You'll be sleeping on the couch, sweetiepie.

And yep, Wikipedia kicks arse.
Lol too bad I can't use Wikipedia for most my papers....not exactly a "scholory" source when anyone can edit it.
