re: #224 Obdicut

A large part of the problem was that you took quite awhile to understand the problems with using the loaded language— like slut, whore, etc. So now we’re on to a different problem, and your words are getting parsed more carefully exactly because you’ve already made some rather egregious errors in language and communication.

Please don’t talk to me like I am five.

I understand that people don’t like certain words that I used. I knew that some would get in a huff when I wrote them. I would rather discuss the ideas, than offend people needlessly. So I will use different language.

But what offends me here is that no- I really don’t like seeing people use sex to sell evil things - and there really are words for that in the English language. However much it offends, to hear those words, the original offence I was complaining about is greater, and the words are accurate.

It is like that preacher who said:

Last night 30,000 children died of hunger.

Most of you don’t give a shit.

What is worse, is that most of you are more offended that I said shit than that 30,000 children died last night.
