re: #140 Obdicut

That’s nice.

That’s ironic.

Um, are you just saying I’m using the word ‘ironic’ wrong? I probably am. It’s a tricky word. It’s certainly not ironic from Ethan’s perspective.

I think the ironic was from your perspective, not Ethan’s.

What are you talking about?

Your logic.

I’m saying:

Even though a lot of people hold the view that really getting to know other cultures is the best way of stopping bigotry and hatred of them, Ethan knows the Comanches intimately and yet hates them.

Perhaps he has good reason, from his perspective. No irony needed.

So, probably a wrong usage of the word ironic. Other than that, I really can’t tell what you’re talking about.

Yes I see that.

You said that it was perfectly logical for Ethan to both understand and hate the Comanche. I agree. For some reason, you thought this would make me assume that you were being ‘derogatory’. And at that point you lose me.

I was pulling your chain. Just in fun.
