"I don't care if you landed a spacecraft on a comet, your shirt is sexist"

I'll try to make sure it goes well with Crow, too.

As ever, Jesse

So, you don't eat calf fries?

I see taoist has mastered the art of typing with one hand.

[Sparko]

I am not a stereotype. I am more of a surround-sound-type.

[Darth Executor]

Sorry about that!

My work includes a sprint from Monday thru Tuesday, making anything I add on Wednesday a bit disjointed from the discussion. Here's a quick summary of the issue discussed in this thread:

@Rose Eveleth: No no women are toooootally welcome in our community, just ask the dude in this shirt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSv6...ature=youtu.be …

Internet rebuttal: Go kill yourself!

More of the same on TWeb. The opposition showed up; they scored and scored, own goal after own goal ... like CP posting faux outrage, and castigating faux outrage.



This isn't a mystery; it's a comedy.

And it's freaking hilarious!

As ever, Jesse

Yeah the guy went crying on TV begging forgiveness of the progressive Muttaween because of one tweet.

[Cow Poke]

But the "king" deal is nonsense, and to the extent it bugs me, it's only because I'd like to think better of you.

Jesse, I sincerely apologize for this, and poking you with the "Absorbine Junior College" comment. You seem to enjoy "poking", but don't receive it so well.

I don't wish to be at war with you, so I apologize for poking you for your part in helping young people through life, and I see you take pride in your work, as well you should.

Looks like tao got his genuflection after all.

Meh.... I'm sure he's a good guy in real life.

I'm sure most of us here are. The Internet changes people.

The Internet lets people be who they truly are.

I think he's also a good guy on the Internet.

[Cow Poke]

OK.

[Cow Poke]

Absolutely. I think a LOT of us say things to each other that we'd never say in real life.

PLUS, many of the things we say would come across a lot differently because of the facial expression, body language, tone of voice --- a lot of stuff that's totally missing here.

Yeah, that's why bald fat guys can be sexy blond women named Cyndie.

Exactly correct. I'd never be as abrasive as I am on the Internet in real life, for example. The barrier that separates people on the Internet is one of the most damaging things to ever have been invented.

Well, I thought you and I were getting along quite well, when it appeared you suddenly got upset. I was ribbing you in good fun (I thought) and I think you took it as a personal attack. I backed off.

You can watch Rogue and I, or Sparko and I go at it all the time, because we know we're kidding. (I think )
