Time to fight back: RANT

[Autumnlicious]

Did I say I was? Yet again slyly accusing me of saying things that I haven't said. I still can't believe you call me the disingenuous one.

Accusation of "ransacking" isn't your attempt at redefining the scope of the discussion?

No shit. Guess I'll say others are ransacking threads if it doesn't encompass what I want.

"Slyly" - another instance of "ransacking"-style diction. Where's my Snidely Whiplash mustache? I've finally earned it dammit.

Yeah, I agree. Where did I say otherwise? Why are you making these assumptions that I am at odds with you?

I'd say the beginning of the divergence started here (I went way too fucking far using "pearl clutching" - it did nothing but detract from my position. I regret that.):

And was finalized at the beginning of this:

From that point, the assumptions were sealed.

You got an axe to grind or something?

Considering the effort being placed into having the last word by at least three of us, yes – there are axes to grind.

Good point though - this is becoming ludicrous.

IMO your comments to my post were so out of touch with what I actually said I didn't even think they were actually aimed at me. If that's a mistake I've made then fair enough. My bad.

Prior to the split above, I crudely attempted to address the tenor of the thread and selected one of your sentiments - a poor example. My bad.

How the FUCK is that sentence bemoaning immigrants? How? You're trying to make out like I've branded all immigrants a problem? Is that how you took my post?

Considering how slippery and arbitrarily defined "integration" is with respect to foreign born residents, what was stated above mimics nativist sentiments to a tee.

If so, yeah, that is your fucking mistake. You're taking it completely out of context. Anyone with basic English comprehension can see that I was not talking about all immigrants, or even foreigners in general. ONLY THOSE THAT DO NOT INTEGRATE.

Here we go again back into it...

Hold the fuck up. Since when am I not allowed to criticise? Since when must I be the one accountable for solutions for anything I criticise?

To escalate the meta game further, since when are others not allowed to criticize your use of unconstructive criticism?

Since when is it ok to tell someone they should go fuck themselves for not coming up with solutions?

You're allowed to heap shit on something else, but others can't heap shit on you?

Especially when everyone else has been relatively civil throughout the thread.

Really? Take a second look before you ascribe all incivility to me.

Since when is it ok to say that before you've even asked them to come up with solutions?

I get tired of playing by your imaginary rules - it seems I have to, like some idiot portrayal of some liberal college professor or NPR journalist, have to interview you and others, gradually drawing out more and more while you're allowed to make a snap judgement.

You're a fucking ass. I'm done with this bullshit.

It takes two to start a fight, amigo.

But I agree - I, too, am done with this silly charade.
