A personal spat

[foghorn]

The thing is, Rowling will on one occasion express what seems to be a reasonable, albeit perhaps misguided, concern, but then on another she will just say something ignorant and bigoted. In such instances as that, where I'm to suss another's viewpoint from a selection of things they've said and done, I'm gonna figure that thed ignorant and bigoted remarks are more representative of her actual views.

" ignorant and bigoted" seems tame compared to how you come across in your posts. Someone with a sociopathic personality??
My bold below.
Support Trump… “that person needs a bullet in their skull”

"Why do we need speed limits and traffic lights?"

If that question is coming from a 7 or 8 year old kid, then it warrants a sincere, patient and thorough response. It's a fair question, coming from a little kid.

If that question is coming from a presumably semi-intelligent adult (Trump, Musk, the GOP, certain posters here), that person doesn't need a sincere response, i.e., "conversation", that person needs a bullet in their skull--and that is not hyperbole. Such persons are dangerous, antisocial, legitimate existential threats, and they ought be treated accordingly--and I can guarantee you that a lot of people will suffer and/or die needlessly as a consequence of eliminating or disrupting the administrative state. That's my justification for such an assertion.

That probably sounds heavy-handed, or a bit much, to some. To them I say, Seriously?

Support Trump, so that makes you a rapist too, so kill yourself ???

You are a rape supporter; consequently, there is a very strong probability that you are a sexual assailant, as well.
You should kill yourself. You have absolutely no value to anyone or anything in this world. I'm a pragmatist.

Yep. I have no tolerance for people who are demonstrably dangerous, with no likelihood for rehabilitation.

That said, I also have very little patience for people who are demonstrably illiterate and cannot even paraphrase correctly a passage that they just quoted. So there's that. But seriously, make an effort, for fuck's sake.

 

[parmalee]

But this part is particularly weird:

The passage you quoted said rape supporter--did you seriously not get that? And, yes, rape advocates are far more likely to be rapists than people who are not rape advocates. Do you actually dispute this?

" demonstrably dangerous," Your opinion. Lucky we have courts to make decisions to send people to the chair, and not just a web nut job.

Luckily we have people who actually know how to read, write and paraphrase and not just some idiot on the internet who can't distinguish between "Trump supporter" and "rape supporter" and who seemingly cannot understand that someone who supports something is more likely to do thatsomething.

All the same, I'm sure that rapists will appreciate your valiant defense for them.

Also, just curious: Are you genuinely confused by the notion of probability, as well? Sad.

That’s funny since you were replying to Trek, and so knowing he /she was a Trump supporter, and so you assumed there was a chance Trek was a sexual assailant as well.

Congratulations America - you got the president you deserve

In the wake of the oncoming fascist regime, authoritarianism and cruelty of that which will be the Trump administration, few if any will be ok. Trump will easily plunge us into ww3 with his arrogance and stupidity of which most world leaders are all well aware. It’s up to you buddy. I’m looking...

The same goes for you meeting 'poster here' Trek in the street and putting a bullet in his/ her skull for being a Trump supporter.

My bold.
So, with you, it's bullet in the skull just for supporting trump.
Do have a gun licence? Hope not.

I'm totally guilty of this guys with Tiassa. However, I listened to you lot and backed off from tit for tat, eventually not right away, I am no angel or even tempered person if pushed.

Your interjections helped.

:facepalm:

As already noted, Trek is a rape advocate--this is well established. How fucking dumb are you?

And, no, I'm not doing your fucking research for you. There's a search feature here--do you know how to use it? Just plug in "rape" by poster "Trek" and you'll get all the evidence you need. Are you capable of that?

Sorry, I'm not wasting any more time on someone who plainly struggles with reading comprehension. Go whine about some protestors blocking traffic or something.

Thing is I simply cannot tolerate someone attributing to me things that I did not say. Even after I clarified what I explicitly said and he explicitly quoted, this... person who struggles with thought repeats his idiotic mistake. I just can't take that shit.

Ok. Fair enough.

 

[parmalee]

Ok. Fair enough.

I don't mind people calling me out for supporting violence--though I typically clarify that I am speaking theoretically, as there are an abundance of logistical and practical problems with such. Also, it can potentially make for an intersting discussion with respect to state-sanctioned violence--I mean, what do we think the CIA and MI6 are doing? Or the drone program? Any number of things really. Then, of course, we can get into the lies many of us are fed about, say, Gandhi, MLK, and Nelson Mandela and their supposed "non-violent" movements.

But having people distort your words is infuriating.

In my defence....JK is in there but Yes. Probably multiple threads required.

Please note that my posts were on topic until I was compelled to respond to one of the resident illiterates (foghorn). Of course, it shouldn't take more than one post to correct these things, but such is the nature of illiteracy.

Good idea -- now wish I had done that in a different thread, today. Why do we leave it up to a moderator to split threads later? Just copy the post being replied to (hopefully the system will still ensure the post#ID is still turned into a link to the original), and paste it at the start of a new topic. Maybe leave behind a single item in the former thread pointing to where the response actually is and the reason for the transition. May or may not be a more challenging feat to accomplish satisfactorily on a mobile device, but such is "the tiny screen without a proper keyboard" way of today.

I think the bolded part particularly important here--when it's a matter of someone, repeatedly, across several threads, mischaracterizing someone's words, the aggrieved party has legitimate reason and motive to make the corrections readily apparent to all readers. (And, as already noted, attack my views on violence all you wish--I welcome and appreciate that; just don't make up some idiotic bullshit that I did not say and attribute it to me.)
