Since it’s 99% certain that OtakuWarrior is a sock of HansiG, will HansiG’s temp ban be upgraded to a permanent ban?

OtakuWarrior joined a day before HansiG got banned. Can that be chalked up to timezone fuckery?

Why was Hansi banned anyway?

He made an image-only post outside of off-topic.

I tell you guys what, if “moron” is offensive, I apologize and will do my best to no longer use it. I’m assuming “idiot” is offensive as well, so I will try not to use that either.

Thank you for finally acknowledging that.

You’re welcome. Now can you answer my question?

Umm… what question?

It was in the rest of the quote, the part you deleted.

Ah, that. I didn’t realize it was a question; it seemed more like a statement that you were inquiring conformation on. In that case…

Nope.

Yeah, regardless of what you might have meant, Jeebus, I don’t think using the word “shit” in that context was the right choice. Kinda like saying “oh is that some black person shit?” Shit is generally used to refer to bad things.

I doubt it was intentional, but it was a poor choice.

You’d by shocked by the way some circles use the word “shit” then, because I remember one time when I was helping a friend move to a new home and he said, “can you help me put all this shit in the car,” referring to his guitar, bass, amplifiers, and other music paraphernalia, which was basically what his life revolves around. That’s just one example; some people say “shit” in the same way they mean “stuff”. Or is language not “fluid” anymore?

There’s a difference between “my music shit” and “Hebrew shit” or “Jesus shit” or “women shit” or “Asian shit,” just to name a few.

FWIW I take Jeebus at his word when he said no offense was intended.

Yes, and I thought it was pretty clear that Jeebus meant “stuff” essentially. There was some confusion but now that he’s clarified himself I don’t see what the problem is.

I don’t think there is an issue, really. Jeebus just made an offhand remark that could be (and was taken) badly, then didn’t understand how it could be taken badly because “shit” is a word people throw around to refer to almost anything these days (I know I do) and he didn’t intend for it to be insulting (and it’s kinda hard to identify what you did wrong when you don’t feel like you did anything wrong).

It was explained and now we’re all good.

At this point I really hope impscum is just trolling. Because, if not, he must live a very sad life. His dedication to “truth” and “facts” leave him missing out on the subtleties of genuine human interactions. If he thinks this makes him better than others he’s a whole hell of a lot dumber than he thinks he is. Must be a truly lonely existence.

Perhaps he’s a Vulcan. Not one of the cool ones like Spock, but one of those real stuck-up near-xenophobic pricks.

In a perfect world we wouldn’t use descriptive words for minority groups in a derogatory way. But it’s parlance. Lame, cretin, nigger, fag ,retard, pikey, pig, tramp etc none of them sound pretty as put downs but the shock of hearing it in that context is the desired effect.

Well the huge difference between you and me is that I am not offended when other people do what I do. You on the other hand are a hypocrite. You say/do things to people and at the same time you get offended (or even worse, you claim it is offensive to a specific group of people) when other people say/do the same things to you.

Ah, so “moron,” “idiot,” and “of limited intelligence” are not actually offensive. Got it.

No, unfortunately you didn’t get it… again. It is up to each individual to decide what he/she will get offended by. The point here is that one should then have the same standards when it comes to himself and others and not act like a hypocrite.

I mean, to be fair, what could possibly be gained by conversing with lower-life forms? It’s really his burden for him to be alone, surrounded by the mentally inept.

We should pity him, really.

Apart from sitcoms, I no longer find it very pleasurable to sit through TV shows with seasons which run past thirteen episodes.

I’ve noticed that too. There seems to be a marked decrease in length of seasons in TV in the past few years.

What an absurd statement. You don’t have to watch the whole season at once you know.
