Re: The Name-Calling, Slandering, and our sense of Morality
PD, you now what, you are really not that bad. So sit down. It wasn’t for you.
Whether I think highly of moderation standards here nor not, is a totally different subject. I have a thing or two to say, but I fear that this thread will closed right after this post. That’s perhaps another topic for another day.
I’d like to believe that you are really not that innocent that you cannot differentiate between halfhearted colloquial mock aimed at someone’s appearance and a formal systematic attempt at character assassination. The latter is certainly more wicked in my books. But just to clarify my stance further, You are more than welcome to refer to IK as Immy Timmy, lanky wanky etc etc.*** I won’t bother me, just like I don’t need to call NS ‘ganja’ to insult him. That’s just so uncreative. :D***
Ironically, NS does a fine enough job of assassinating his own character through his own misadventures that I would think that the “ganja” insults come off as rather light (and uncreative, as you state).
