Rush Limbaugh...dead

What? No one posted hate speech in here, we are talking about his position on people who do post his supposed, "hate speech," on other private mediums.

then you need to be more specific, because HHM was clearly talking about Desi's posts here on BARF.

But in keeping with decorum, I would only reference to his specific posts in this thread.

I cannot speak to what has happened in other threads on BARF and to make accusations as such would imply a personal attack as it is directed at an individual not based on the subject in the thread.

This is exactly right.

It's helpful to distinguish between what occurred (observably) and what we think about what occurred. What occurred is Desi asked questions. What some of you think is that it implies a defense. The latter is you inducing meaning onto what occurred. You might be right and you might not be.

As far as I can tell, Desi is a guy who doesn't know as much about this culture as many of you do. His questions might well be genuine. If you assume they are rhetorical, then you'd reach the conclusions you have. But that's on you.

I have my own opinions about all this but I'll keep them to myself. In the meantime, I'm trying to take Desi's posts at face value.
He doesn't show much of any genuine interest in learning. Many have tried to help, in a non-condescending good faith way. Nothing has changed.

The "Doesn't know much about this culture" excuse went out the door a long time ago.

He posts and runs and never comes back or comes back weeks later and ignores all the follow up questions. I am 100% sure he posts in bad faith.

I get that you feel that way. It doesn't change the fact that equating his questions with defending Rush is an inference.

Even then, his questions were answered pages ago. Even in the most positive light he displays poor forum etiquette. I see nothing wrong with calling him out on it. Mods have and still he persists.

Yeah, I know. :)

You know I respect you so I am asking honestly, what's your point or end game? Just to convince us asking repeatedly answered questions from a know proudly-ignorant individual with a pattern of shit posting is A-OK and we shouldn't be so mean?

Just curious.

So, probably the civilized response would be to say, "Hey dude, we covered that earlier," and refer him back to read more rather than just going full tilt to talk about what a never ending piece of shit another poster is, right?

Seems you haven’t been paying attention. Civility is going nowhere with this one. Ignoring is the only practical response.

That's another classic. "Sure you may have a point but why be mean?"

Maybe he deserved civility the first few times. Maybe.

I don't follow Desi's posts too much, but what I have noticed is his tendency to drop grenades in a thread and then disappear. We're all guilty of sticking around to get fragged, though.


What the KS really needs is a party like OFG's to get people face to face, especially the after hours activities to really see what people are like in all their glory. :laughing

I really miss OFG parties...

That is the nature of the KS.

In my defense I suggested it be moved but apparently a rules loophole to discuss Politics in the sync is just start the same thread in the PolSink. Then you can do whatever.

If Desi gets off on this crap, he's a troll, and each time his threads will have less and less traction. If he's serious, he's just ignorant and a bad poster. But sure everyone let me know how impolite I'm being.
