Right, and there's the reason I restrained myself from posting earlier. That martyr complex. You don't need to learn to walk away from fights, you need to learn to stop creating them and playing the victim. You aren't defending yourself, you're trying to turn people who agree with you into enemies.
But I dared to agree with you, and say something. So I'm in it now. Let's do this.
Being confused and stubborn about changing terminology isn't bigotry. Treating someone with fear or hatred because of something they can't control is bigotry. Attitude is entirely within a persons control.
Calling a course of action idiotic isn't a personal attack. Neither is this. I am not calling you names, or making ad hominem attacks. I am calling your behaviour self destructive to your cause, needlessly antagonistic, foolish, and lacking in common sense. In other words, idiotic.
Trying to drag other events into it, calling out people who aren't here, and trying to justify painting everyone with the same brush as those who send hateful messages are all just ridiculous behaviour. No one is saying there aren't hateful attitudes around. No one is saying there isn't bigotry here, or on the mc forums. I think you're quite brave, if I ignore nearly everything you say. That doesn't change the fact that you are doing yourself, and the cause you are so very eager to champion, a horrible disservice. You are so far past the point that I'd almost think you were intentional straw man, if that didn't make so little sense.
You don't appear to have any idea who you are shouting at, nor have any interest in finding out. But you appear utterly certain that everyone's issue with you is who you are. You don't seem to actually be interested in changing people's minds, nor effecting change, but only in making as large a spectacle as possible, and alienating as many people as you can, so you can make yourself a bigger victim in your own mind.
That attitude, do note, attitude, seems profoundly arrogant and self centered. Which is why I'm fairly sure I don't like you, though this is admittedly a small window. Let me make that perfectly clear. I dislike you because of how you act, and the choices you make, not who you are. I dislike that you speak without thinking. I dislike that you claim authority you do not possess. I dislike that you speak for others who did not ask to be spoken for. I dislike that you make appeals to emotion while trying to argue specifics. I dislike the way you look for ways to be injured, and play the victim. And I especially dislike the way you reinterpret conversations to fit your narrative. I cannot stand intellectual dishonesty.
Congratulations. You have joined the ranks of two others on these forums who have succeeded in really pissing me off. The others, ironically, are among the biggest bigots I have ever spoken to.
I would say I'm three for three, but really, to be fair, you have no interest in knowing who you are talking to, so I can't claim you distrust and hate based on anything at all. Instead you seem to be just a garden variety misanthropic martyr. Good luck with that. I'm sure it will bring you much happiness in the future.
