The continuing LUVBUGZ thread - Page 9

Exactly. My feeling is this:

You do not have the right not to be offended. You have the ability.

Now, not to over analyze this, but if 99 had chosen to refer the reader to def. 8 and based her commentary solely on that, I would definitely not have take such offense, but she remarks about me discussing my CUNT (which is a highly offensive word to a woman, IMO) yet if you read def. 8 it has nothing to do with CUNTS.

Granted, this may have not been what 99 meant by her remarks, but this is how I took them. And if she in no way meant to offend me, then she will in no way be offended by me reply. Either way, it's all good. As far as my emotional skin, I think I'm up to a wet Brawny paper towel strength, well past those "other" brands.

So you go away for a while and expect everyone to forget about your prior transgressions - so how about DROPPING THE PAST - especially if that is what you are asking for from others.

It's like the difference between having a dick, and being called a dick, juju, only worse.

Way worse.

Point of technical fact, you love pussy (unless I am misjudging you, and I don't think I am in this instance).

There is a difference, in terms of the connotation.

Cunts have higher mileage. With a variety of drivers, so to speak.

I also perceived 99's commentary as an attempt to be helpful.

(and, as to be expected, funny as shit.)

I'd say they're pretty different. If someone calls you a dick, that means you're being a jerk. That might well be a valid criticism, in which case I may try not to be that way.

But the word "cunt" seems to serve no purpose except as a button to press in people. Why provide the button? It's pointless. It's just a word.

But yes, I know what you mean.

I don't "expect" everyone to forget "my" prior transgressions, as you put it, in which case they have no right to "expect" me to forget "theirs". You see, while I admit to having overreacted at times and hence becoming very defensive, I was NOT the only player in the game. I have attempted to apologize for my part in the never ending flame wars and tried to move past that, but those who engaged in such activities with me will not accept that, nor will they even admit to any wrongdoing on their parts, so at this point in time no matter what I do or say it has been made apparent to me that those efforts are in vain.

So while I would like to DROP THE PAST, it seems highly unlikely that anyone will. Opinions have been made about me and seem to be set in stone. All I can do is continue to try and change these opinions, but I must also say that as long as I am "attacked" by others I will defend myself. I will not sit on my hands and let others call me ignorant, hypocritical, stupid, retarded, etc. when I am not. Yeah, I know at times we have *all* been one or more of these things, but that's to be expected.....we are all human after all, but just because I disagree with someone or have a different opinion on something or someone does not automatically make me stupid or ignorant, etc.

I would like to note here that I feel that 99's post was not meant as a "gentle jab", but insultive. Not only the reference to def 8 but the use of the "c" word, which has always been and will always be offensive to me.

I think many would agree, that in the "book of namecalling", the "c" word is probably in the top 10 most offensive. This, I feel, is exactly why 99 chose it. A "jab" might be bitch or dumbshit.

And as far as papertowel skin goes, even leather can be cut with a knife.

Don't you think that's a little closed-minded? I mean, I realize you feel strongly about it, but I just think you'd be a stronger person if you'd just not let it bother you.

Why are so many women so sensitive and lacking in self-confidence?

Undertoad · 12-12-2003, 02:26 PM

If you can be hurt by the mere mention of a word, you should probably avoid reading.

My actual feelings on the topic are not as flip as this simple statement

FileNotFound · 12-12-2003, 02:27 PM

Because people raise them this way.

Boys are taught not to cry and not to take insults seriously.

Girls...are not.

Well, 99 didn't call LUVBUGZ a cunt, she made a joke which included the word "cunt." HUGE diffrerence between "She is a cunt" and "I wish she's stop constantly talking about her cunt."

Poetic... but personally, when I am not wielding my knife as a weapon, I have little sympathy for someone who chooses to fling themselves into it. Someone who takes offense when it is not intended is a fool. Someone who takes offense when it is intended is seven times a fool.

In some cultures boys are taught to kill people that insult them. Girls take insults and perceived insults seriously.

But then that would have to apply for EVERY word that someone would take offense to, including "dick" (or being called one).

I've always believed that everyone has a button to push. It may take a while with some, but it's there.
