Nudity, Is It Sexist In This Forum?

[Thumpalumpacus]

That's great.

I'm reminded of Petain's quip in 1940: "It'll take us six months to consider it, and six months to forget about it."

And here now you are trying to imply that we didn't really consider it. I'm sorry that I'm hurt by that. I'm sorry that I expected better from you...

I saw little consideration on this side of the screen.

Well, firstly as I am voicing my opinion, asking for evidence is a bit of a non sequitur -- opinions don't require evidence.

I've done my best to argue my opinion. If y'all don't agree, no big deal. Neither of us can prove our own opinions "right", because that is not in the nature of opinions. That sort of judgement is assessed against facts, not opinions.

As for what I want, I want you guys on the Staff to think about these things. I want you guys to stop looking at the law as a backstop. I want you guys to be better than that.

I'm not upset or angry with you, and I'm sorry if my posting is angering you; that's not my intent. I hope you don't think I've been uncivil.

It's not, Thump. I'm just getting frustrated because I don't care about debating this topic at all. I am seriously only here because I care about you as a member of this forum and a friend. I am trying really hard to show you that I have very seriously considered this subject. I have thought about it. I have thought about everything you have said. I have genuinely considered all arguments contrary to mine. And while I still do not agree I respect you for having a different opinion than me. I'm only upset because I seriously do not understand what more you want from me than this.

It's not that I want something from you -- this is not personal. I don't doubt you're spending probably too much time on this crap. And I should probably just shut my goddamned trap about it already.

I don't want to be the fly in the ointment, so you know, maybe it's time to do the Longview Hotfoot. No one likes an asshole at the party .. I'll shut the fuck up already.
