to answer your IM

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Apr 17 '12, 08:56

No, I don't think asking max to come over as a virgin implies respect

The issue has two sides and both can help or hinder the process. I don't believe that "pacts" or "keeping to onself" truly solves the problem because it implies an outward expression that does not reflect the inward feelings. I think that ultimately reveals itself down the line.

- Jack, I didn't drag you into anything and I'm not trying to. I am not speaking to one side as I said on the last board and this one. What I'm saying - oblique Apr 17, 09:05 9

    - I think of policing specifically as something done by Berry so maybe that helps clarify where I was coming from -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 09:11 7

        I usually see that as the "piling on" phase - oblique Apr 17, 09:20 5

        and also hits the nail on the head, IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:22 1
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:35
- Do you think your last line is respectful or necessary? -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:03 28
  - I can agree with his frustration to the issues at hand...... - groiny Apr 17, 09:08 27
    - I've read that post over and over and can't see the offense....I must be missing some inside info or a private joke. - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:12 22
      - I think a big part of the reaction was the dismissal of it when he stated in his own way, that he was not cool with it. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:13 21
        
        What I interpreted from Loosi's responses was that she was baffled by HIS response, as am I. - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:21 19

        I'm saying her comment was outside the normal "offensive" categories; race, religion, politics, sex, gender, etc. How are we supposed to know - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:30 6

        that might be the funniest IM I have read in years here.nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:33 4
        
        I have the same issue with my kids right now which is why maybe I'm more sensitive to this currently - oblique Apr 17, 09:36 3
        
        It is very similar, but there is something else at play here that I think is not fully recognized. - pmb Apr 17, 09:45

        My 2 cents - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:43
        
        "I'm sorry." - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:22 10
        
        This is the one and only thing I will say. I immediately sent Max an apology in email. - loosilu Apr 17, 09:24 9
        
        That was appropriate to take it off ST. I think the mistake you made was continuing the conversation with others on ST. - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:26 8
        
        but, this is also part of the issue, he offended him ON ST. - groiny Apr 17, 09:30 7
        
        One possible reason - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:33 3
        
        I think you do both. - groiny Apr 17, 09:34 1
        
        yep, and you can include some things in the email that you wouldn't put on ST, but you still show your sincerity to the board -- nm - zork Apr 17, 09:39
        
        Technically, going out of your way to do it would be to do both. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:34
        
        because that's totally worked to defuse the situation in the past... -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 09:31 2
        
        show me, don't tell me. - groiny Apr 17, 09:33 1
        
        except by the time people realized he might be serious, the pile-on was already underway - znufrii Apr 17, 09:36
        
        *ding* -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:14
    - burn the witch! - znufrii Apr 17, 09:11 3
      - BURN THE GINGERS!!!!!!!! -- nm - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:12 2
        
        you know Christina Hendricks would have to go. Yall best think about this. - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:19 1
        
        Fake gingers don't count. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:22
people are doing those things because it is the only thing they feel they can do to not make things worse. They all have something in mind ... - zork Apr 17, 09:00
