In reply to the discussion: Is there anyway now that we can be considered not racist? [View all]Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)With people who are unreasonable and irrational, it is a waste of time and energy to continue reasoning with them. Also it isn't necessary. Nothing is accomplished.
I remember that thread you linked to, the one back in June last year, and you were not the person who was wrong. My responses are there saying so, at that time.
As to the thread you're answering with this OP, it's bullshit on its face. I tossed it straight in the trash can. (My trash can is very full this week.)
As far as I'm concerned, people who insist on being nasty can discuss their issues with each other in an echo chamber where they're all of the one opinion that they want to hear, because they have already demonstrated to me more than once that their one-way opinions are not worth giving a rat's ass about. I don't want to be part of their discussion, they can have it. And I don't care what they say, especially their opinions about me -- it means less than nothing to me.
On other subjects, I mostly just give my opinion or something I may know about it if I do, and if one of those swarm type people replies to me, I completely ignore it.
There is a lot of outright flame bait on this board. It's best not to encourage it, just toss it in the can where it belongs.
