insults aside they were accurate criticisms though. could they have been delivered without barbs? sure. would they have been as clear and/or hilarious without the insult? hell no. they were really good lines and had good imagery. they were illuminating and pointed at the ridiculousness of the opposing arguments.
i don't think there was anything wrong with that though. this claim of "manners" is a bit of BS, and disingenuous to boot-- suchfriends can put all the stupid memes he wants and dismiss all attempts at seriousness while thinking he's being good-mannered. i find that more infuriating that being told to go fuck myself, for example. respect is the basis of good manners, but the form that this respect takes is not universal and may cause confusion between subcultures/ social classes/ different individuals. i'd rather be told off via witticism than through dumbshittery. it's more respectable to have a smart adversary than a stupid one. |
Well yes, evollove poked... but I don't see that as bashing or hateful or anything like that. More of like a, "Dude... come on" kind of thing.
And the hymen comment was perfect. I was searching for an analogy that would work, and didn't come up with anything half as on point as "hymen." It wasn't a burn of SFAD though. Just a response to the way SFAD had chosen to present himself. Maybe it was meant to be mean, I don't know.
but I don't think it was any less appropriate than all that "DUH DUH FAIL" and "you don't get it, do I need to explain?" nonsense.
Actually come to think of it, SFAD I call bullshit on all of this "manners" stuff.
You've been deliberately condescending, rude, and you've attempted to be hilarious with insults you've tossed out that may not feel like insults to you, but definitely come across as such. It's kind of bullshit for you to call foul when a few others say some things to you that border on the insulting, but manage to succeed in being hilarious.
I honestly do not want your feelings to be hurt here. Really. And I tried to mend things over PM. But for some reason this is still going on, and I think you need to be at least open to the fact that the responses you're getting from others are pretty much proportional to the things you're saying.
