I'm an asshole, and yet I know there would be people on this forum who cared if I died. I personally wouldn't mind being insulted, but I wouldn't want their feelings to be hurt while they're grieving.

First of all, he would laugh about the accusation of insults thinking that Belaqua wouldn't know an insult if it bit him in the ass. But the guy had friends and family and making stupid remarks a la Belaqua is disrespectful of those people. But PhilosophyMan will continue to justify his remarks and keep harping on being part of the 'out group'. Which if that's a thing he is proving himself worthy of membership with every post. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius 
Awww, thanks for not thinking I’m an asshole, guys.

How often have we heard people around here say that we shouldn't hurt people's feelings? Being hurtful is not only allowed, it's applauded, if the recipient is on the not-approved list.

Belaqua, you had a point to make. Prove it some other way on another day.
You fucked up by insulting a recently deceased person with mourners present. You should apologise for that, even if you didn't foresee the outcome, although how could you not? Also, I think Hitchens was a cunt for not keeping his mouth shut for a week or two after Falwal's death. I'll just add that I don't think you're a cunt, Belaqua, you just fucked up without thinking I reckon. RE: A postscript to "what happened to me"

He did that. But lots of people posted insults on the TTA. Lots of people post insults here. It's not considered bad to post insults. I don't think it's insulting of me to say that he did something which he did, which lots of people do, which isn't considered bad.
But people got insulted.
I didn't know the guy, but you used an example of him to highlight some negative activity, so it comes out negative. That's not rocket science. |
