Putin accidently the English language.

Sigh! You still do not realise! Putin is a troll. Don't feed the trolls.

Pretty hard to claim I'm the troll here when this thread and the comments therein was made deliberately to antagonize me.

Uh huh... And I suppose a comic making fun of something he witnessed is saying his shtick just to antagonize the person involved. No, this was meant in jest and you were as predictable as ever.

And the thread topic had Jack shit to do with you, Puttard. It was an apology because the game went tits up when the new player decided to go away and not play.

Go back and look at the beginning of the thread to see how this was made in "jest" (Redhouse didn't even get Abgemacht's "joke" and was stone cold serious about him asking his friend about the term girl). Evidently the meaning of words don't particularly matter, or maybe it's opposite day and trolling means the opposite of what it normally means. The people who deliberately inflame threads, like Yellowjacket in this case, are the trolls. Get that straight.

If by "inflame," you mean, "raise points that competently argue against yours and sometimes make you look foolish," then yes, I'm guilty.

The point is this while it appears like a usual tactic to lay the blame for every marathon thread at my feet, I didn't start the fire here. Evidently some people around here like to dish it out but can't tolerate any response, that's "trolling".

"raise points that competently argue against yours and sometimes make you look foolish,"

Something like that. If by "making me look foolish" you mean "displaying your painful ignorance about racial sensitivity while arrogantly insisting that I'm making stuff up" then ok, fine. Go ahead and declare victory.

The thread was not created to inflame you. You can repeat it till your fingers fall off but you will still be wrong. The thread was created to apologize to those Orbison frustrated by the stupidity that was this game. No amount of your stupidity can change that simple fact. The post is there for all to read and you are a tool to deny it or try to avoid it.

Stupid ducking autocorrect. :-)

Those of us...

It quickly turned into a flame fest, not by my initiation, but by a series of other peoples'. I'm not getting pinned for trolling this stupid thread.

AAAAARGHHHHH!!!!!

Will you admit the thread wasn't created to inflame you or not?

Yes, my belief that I shall not let society's lowest common denominator decide what words I can and cannot use in particular contexts is a clear sign of racial insensitivity. Well struck, sir!

Yep, lowest common denominator. That you think oppressed groups who are routinely victimized by abusive language are the "lowest common denominator" says everything I need or care to know about you. A real hero, you are, boss. Keep standing up for those misunderstood bigots, they obviously need all the help they can get.

Created, no. But that doesn't matter much, as it was used by others for that purpose.

lol

Wow, Putin, what did you do to these people to make them hate you so much? : )

I really can't tell if they are misreading your posts on purpose just to fight or if they dislike you so much they are actually mentally unable to properly read what you write.

Well, for one thing, by LCD I was talking about those who would use a word in an inappropriate manner. Putin, naturally, assumed I was talking about minorities.

Perspective says a great deal, that's all I'm saying, and this isn't the first time his liberal majesty has jumped to whatever conclusion makes another look the worst.

Nice try Yellowjacket, but that doesn't even make sense. The argument wasn't about bigots determining what words can or cannot be used. It was about whether certain words should be used if others find them offensive.

"I really can't tell if they are misreading your posts on purpose just to fight or if they dislike you so much they are actually mentally unable to properly read what you write."

Neither can I.

I see. So now you ARE just calling me a racist. I'm done with you, tool.

You're the one who said lowest common denominator and then expect me to believe you meant something that made no sense whatsoever.

Bump. I just thought this was the coolest thread ever ;-)

I understood exactly what YellowJacket meant. He meant the people who coopted the word to insult another group of people (i.e. the racists/bigots/sexist pigs) were the lowest common denominator. Not the people against whom the words were meant. But as is typical of Putin, he twisted it to fit whatever met his need and didn't read for context or the writers intent, instead overlaying his own predisposition to be an contrary and find fault as everyone is wrong and only Putin is right.

So, YJ, why don't we both let Putin's next smarmy and ignorant remark be the last word on this. You know it's coming, so we stop feeding him.

I guess we should believe the guy who doesn't even know what smarmy means about issues of interpretation and reading comprehension.
