A ubiquitous rule of business "ethics"

Post Reply New Topic

I still think you went about it wrong, but I do understand your initial concern.

'Keet, I think you've gotten your point across, BigK claims to have left the site, and Hyperlexian hasn't posted here in a few days, so I don't think any further threads are necessary. I can understand why the comparison to pgd was made, especially with you being the OP of the thread criticizing him, but I think some people don't recall just how many threads he started with so few degrees of separation between them. In his case it wasn't just the volume of threads but the fact that they could so easily have been condensed to a relative handful without impacting the result, and his unwillingness to listen to reason even in the case of moderator intervention that caused such a stink.

My goal wasn't to drive either BigK or hyperlexian away. My point was to get people to realize that there is another form of socially acceptable discriminatory racism out there which is just as bad as the previous one (well, perhaps it hasn't quite reached that level which I've seen on videos and news clips from the 1960's, but it is approaching that level even though not quite there yet. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that it's equally bad in quality although it has not quantitatively reach the same horrible level as before). And yes, it's what has been derided as reverse-racism™ by its proponents, hence why I've avoided calling it that but tried to keep at the conceptual level rather than the jargon level since people see the keywords and then start issuing canned psittacisms of what other people have said about it without any thinking on their part.

As I said on the pgd thread that I'd stop making new thread but I reserve the right to be as silly as I want to. Do you challenge my right to be silly? Do you? Do you? ... Do you?















Do you?

I didn't say it was, I don't think anyone was trying to drive either of them off and I strongly suspect BigK of pulling a publicity stunt here anyway. I suppose I failed to differentiate between your anti-censorship threads and your anti-"acceptable bigotry" threads, though I think those two would be high on the targeted audience list for either set.



Nope, just as long as you're comfortable with the occasional spamming accusation.

Eh, I am fine with the method used on pgd.

wrong thread

my goal, in terms of you personally, is to open your mind and help you realize that you are not always right.

a great deal of what you express is based on opinions that are not supported by actual evidence of any sort. but you engage in elaborate twists of logic to try to make your ideas fit in the real world. i like to take out my torch and shine some light into those winding corners.

Wow, that's really news to me. Thank you for sharing with me that I am just as fallible as all other humans, I never would have guessed that on my own.

Well, now you know!

That being said, I am infallible.

There's so much I want to say but too many extra smart people and I isn't smart.

I'm not sure how to put it and your achievements imanotaparakeet and they may not reflect mine. I've had many troubles getting just a low payed job or one that meets the standards of minimum wage and still do. Most of mine stemmed from not being perking or smiley enough to oh crap a number of things. I've had to write a number of them down. Sometimes I use to wonder if my diagnoses wasn't plain retardation even though I've outsmarted some so-called smart people.

You're lucky if you have a job so I'm often told.

Do you have trouble remembering details about social things?

apparently not, if you think it is necessary to spam PPR with multiple threads on the same topic. or perhaps you thought extra threads would be more convincing.

You know, one manager I had asked why I wasn't hired and they did say "you didn't smile enough". Perhaps I should get some fish hooks and fishing line, dull the fish hooks, tie the fishing line around my ears and by that forcefully hold the corners of my mouth in a perpetual smile. If they are going to measure the ability of a worker to perform their duty based upon such an absurd criterion perhaps absurd measures ought to be taken to meet it. Like dressing as a pirate.

They approach multiple aspects of censorship and today's variety of socially acceptable racism, both of which I'm in opposition to.
