No, I will not stfu just because you say so little girl. I am not wrong. Monster is wrong for going on a rant. I am not going to just stand there and take her insults, which flow freely and often. I am tired seeing it. I know, I know, she is not the same disgusting caliber. Fuck that shit!

Do it! Take a shit on the stage!! ;)

more than pretty



Monster will never ever get my consideration or apologies because she never gives those to others. She is free with her insults and rantings so I don't feel bad. I know she is your guy's friend and you overlook her faults and attack who you think the enemy is. I get that

But what I really want to say is in the next paragraph, and I am not going to respond to anyone about this, anymore.

You though, I want to apologize to. You are young and that is a good thing. You are trying to do the right thing and I would feel bad if I damaged you in any way or made you feel bad. Not that I think you aren't made from stronger stuff but I really feel bad for yanking your chain by calling you a little girl. This isn't your problem ok?

Thank you. I think you are a sweetie. really , even if you told me to stfu. ( chuckle)

You're better than that. Just drop a deuce and leave us all (me) really happy.

:eyebrow:

...btw deleting your "Monster, shut your trap" comment after I replied to it was worse than pathetic. I don't need an apology. Don't drag my name into places I don't want to be and you'll be fine. Step on me and regret it. If you get it.

Monster prefers "shut your pie hole" to "shut your trap" read the FAQ.

(OT: The inch asked me this morning what a pie hole was)

Oh, and for what it's worth, my favorite Spice Girl was Dyke-a-licious Spice

shut your pumpkin pie hole.

(is what I prefer)

The only hole suitable for a pumpkin pie is the waste disposer.

uh-oh, we should be careful here, we're almost back on topic.

Thread eddy! paddle like mad!

Got fuck all to do with proving anybody right. Got fuck all to do with 'political correctness'. I found your use of the word dike as an insult, very offensive. Why? Because it's homophobic. It also has connotations of an accusation of gender non-conformity: suggesting that by being forthright and opinionated (loudmouthed and ranting) this is somehow 'masculine' and lacking in femininity.



I have no idea whether or not Monster was offended. I have no idea if she is hurt over anything. I rather suspect she isn't.

I didn't jump in because I though she was hurt. Nor did I jump in to defend her per se. I did jump in because I thought YOU were out of line and being a bitch. In a thread I'd started. For no apparent reason. A homophobic bitch at that.

You launched an unprovoked attack on another poster, and then when she came back at you, you called her a loud-mouthed ranting dike.

Now, you can sit here and say you didn't mean it as 'lesbian'. But the sentiment doesn't scan with the rest of what you said.

I honestly couldn't give a flying fuck about what you and Monster think of each other. Nor, generally, do I give a fuck about whether you insult each other. This isn;t to do with 'defending' Monster. In fact it has nothing to do with Monster at all. It's about you.

I was surprised and a little disappointed that someone I once thought well of would stoop to such a low.

But hey: you go right on ahead and keep defending your right to be a bitch. Defend your right to be insulting and homophobic. Defend your right to use the kinds of insults that help to underscore and strengthen accepted gender norms and set the person insulted outside of those norms.

And just to go back to your accusation that I am just being 'politically correct'. I am political. I have strong political beliefs that underscore everything i do and everything I am. You see 'political correctness' as somehow a bad thing and a small thing. I see a political awareness of the impact of one's language and a personal sense of responsibility to not cause social harm through the use of language as a good and positive thing: because I am looking at the big picture. You, however, clearly are not seeing beyond your little scrap with Monster.

LOLOL

Homophobic?



Hey, I know a ton of gay jokes. I know & love gay peeps.

You're weird.

And you are?



[eta] jokes are one thing. A cultural tendency to use homosexuality as the basis for deep insults is a different matter altogether. Had Sky jokingly called Monster a dike, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
