So you misunderstand me because I am unsubtle? Doesn't that mean you're an idiot?

You want to write everyone here off that way because it's easier than engaging honestly.
Isn't it annoying when someone else deliberately misunderstands you?

Banish? No. Learn from? Yes. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We need the bad set to sort out the good set.

Ok, fine. I've assessed the prize. You win.

Ideas and beliefs that are the antithesis of inclusivity cannot be included in inclusivity. It's like saying to create a truly loving environment, you have to love hate. It's not nuance, it's naive.
Some guy a while back used to preach "love thy enemy". I think he was on to something, but you probably think he was just naive. You appear to have more in common with the flawed movement that followed.

LOL. I was last on this thread back on page 4 or so. It has descended into some vague form of barbarism. Where the hell are those Spanish Inquisitors when you need them?

The hell with reason…compassion..caring. Screw ‘em all.

The lack of sophistry is amusing. Stupid, but amusing. OTOH 5-year olds can construct better arguments.

Out.

Such sad rhetoric.
Use a dictionary, exposed merely means being visible or being open to view.

You should put a PSA on your posts for when you are using the dictionary definition of words and when you are using hyberpole.

I was criticized for using a dictionary earlier. Just can't get a break around here.

I'm OK with being exposed like James Woods, if the rumors are indeed correct.

Deal?

Are these the rumours you are referring to? Classy

https://www.thewrap.com/james-woods-...ts-photos/amp/

Quote:
Anderson Cooper was criticized for rolling his eyes at Kellyanne Conway during an interview in May 2017. Woods escalated the situation with a homophobic "joke" by sharing a gif of the CNN host rolling his eyes and wrote that the expression was "as his butt plug dislodges during a newscast."
Quote:
Neil Patrick Harris called out Woods for his comments on a photo of a family posing with their "gender creative" son. "This is sweet. Wait until this poor kid grows up, realizes what you’ve done, and stuffs both of you dismembered into a freezer in the garage,” Woods said of the photo in July 2017. Harris called Woods "ignorant and classless," but Woods clarified his stance and said, "Using one’s child as a social justice propaganda doll is tantamount to child abuse. This is not about homophobia. Nice try though…,” and added that he has "more gay friends than Liberace."

Well you are the guy who used racist innuendo earlier in the thread, so I guess either rumour would be on brand.

I’ll break this down because you’re struggling: when you claim that everyone misunderstands you, either because nobody loves nuance as much as you, or makes room for subtlety, or because they have bad reading comprehension, or because they’re an idiot, and those same people (the majority) have no trouble understanding everyone else, including people significantly more educated or well spoken than you (lots of academics, educators, and lawyers on the board) on topics that are a lot more technical and complex, the problem is likely with you. You can call others idiots all you like, it doesn’t make you as smart as you wish you were, and no amount of it will.

Not really. Most times when people are being deliberately obtuse it comes in the form of not understanding a concept or point. All you did was make it look like you can’t understand a simple sentence. So… nice one.

You’re almost there. If repeating history is bad, and we want to learn from bad ideas, what are we trying to accomplish? If there is a bad idea, and we learn from it and don’t repeat it, what are we hoping happens to it? (I’m confident you can get this one!)

If I did, you’d be defending me.

You wouldn't be... homophobic, would you?

But I knew the rumor beforehand. Does that make it better?
