I read only page one. And replied to one post in page 1. And read couple posts just following my reply. My read from page 1 is a bit different from yours. I detected sarcasm from the get go. What typically happens is such posts elicit response. Which lead to more sarcasm. Leads to runaway.
I have wondered why some folks go after OP. But somehow miss posts that are far more offensive. Such as posts that are consistently homophobic. This kind of feeding frenzy would be more warranted (IMO) if directed towards such posts.
But some of the enthusiastic knight detractors are strangely missing when it comes to homophobic posts.
Hope workouts r going well.
you might need to have a look at your sarcasm detector or you and i probably will disagree on what constitutes as sarcasm, because i just skimmed through the first page and nowhere did i see anybody targeting OP. to name a few; captain obvious, icono, mezhgan and shak made pretty good replies that got ignored by OP just so he could continue tooting his own horn. it happens in every thread, if you sense a troll.. then that's the kinda response you're gonna get. bas. thanks for showing your concern but OP can stand up for himself if his intention was not to troll.

workouts going well thanks :)
Came here to say exactly that. Read all the replies on page 1 and nowhere do i detect any sarcasm or rudeness towards OP on that page. Instead you get well thought out replies. Really Southie for a person who's supposed to be well in-tuned to everything, no offence, you're acting quiet dense right now.
The writing style may come across as patronizing. But folks started attacking rather than just look at the message. IMO. I think in post 1 OP was simply trying to get the message across that maybe folks should consider marrying women who may have had unfortunate experience. I did see lots of sarcasm in page 1. Such as (I am paraphrasing) "I wouldn't start with battered woman if looking for a bride". That type of responses framed subsequent posts in this thread.
That is not a sarcastic post.
Sarcasm definition according to Merriam Webster Dictionary:
sar·casm noun \ˈsär-ˌka-zəm\ : the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny
Nowhere do I detect any hint of sarcasm. That posted whom you quoted is also stating his/her opinion. So why does he/she get labelled sarcastic, when OP isn't? Isn't OP stating his opinion as well?
Southie, why is it that you always read Knight's thread "differently" from the majority? You rush to pounce upon a technicality like "spew," shining the spotlight on it as though it's a cuss word, but then as usual you so lovingly dismiss Knight's condescension as "oh he didn't intend it that way, nanha bacha hai, he just used a bad choice of words all the time." How about you be consistent, Southie? Spew means to expel in large quantities forcibly and rapidly and that is exactly what OP does under this nick and others. If it's not condescension, it's irrelevant horn-tooting. You can talk about Pluto and OP will tell you how his kid can start a fire and has been equipped to survive on the frigid, dwarf planet. If OP wants to inspire people, it can be done without frequent boasting, stereotyping, and displaying contempt for others.
Is there a need for you to be so condescending towards Southie?
It seems lately that when someone writes something negative to do with culture and/or religion those who doesn't dismiss or attack that point of view are picked at as well..
Southie doesn't get personal with people so not sure why the same two or three on here seem to have developed a habit of making personal jabs and nasty barbed comments.. Seriously grow up..

So now you judge the intentions of a poster depending upon whether or not they have responded to a homophobic poster or not?

glad to note workout going well. You run a mean 10K.
Got to disagree with the rest of ur post. I wasn't posting cause I thought OP couldn't stand up for himself. I sensed sarcasm in first page - we can agree to disagree on if it was sarcasm or innocent comments from well meaning people.
Deeba Bibi,… even more disturbingly so, it is the same 2-3 people who continue to defend this one person’s frequent bashing of an entire group of people. Aik banday ko bachanay k liye, they are okay with his contempt for the masses, which funnily enough, these same 2-3 people also belong to. And this is what this smattering of individuals see as maturity, enlightenment, and being more “growed up.” :k:

OP to best of my knowledge didn't state you should ONLY start with battered women. He stated you should consider them also in your search. IMO the comment was not entirely innocent.
This is my opinion. AND I AM ALWAYS RIGHT. Ess Emm.

The only ones who bash AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE are those who post homophobic posts. And are not called on it. So let us not get carried away.
I do like knights viewpoints. At least those that I have read.
I think I have stated my POV with sufficient clarity. Don't intend to drag this on. Have a good rest of the day! Out of this thread.

LMAO. I don't condone homosexuality, but I'm also not phobic toward them. And it appears you're still bothered by me saying that the tone of your post was gay. I had clarified that it was the tone of your post in one thread.....I never said that you were a homosexual. Now you had admitted to understanding and accepting this clarification earlier, but now you are bringing it up again.....and really really stretching it to homophobia. See, with Knight, you go out of your way each time to tell us that "No, he didn't mean it that way.".....but with me, despite my prior clarification, you are deliberately manipulating my words. Bahut khoob. If you're still smarting over me using the word gay, then maybe it's you who is homophobic. And my use of the word "lovingly" was not intended to imply homosexual feelings, perhaps you have assumed so. And just quit it with your "have a nice day" endings and your tendency to award points and stars to people for their posts; they don't conceal your obvious bias and your game-playing.

Your threads are getting more and more cringeworthy.
Wow sorry to have stirred your sensibilities, I did not realize that the word appreciate is so objectionable, and the notion of supporting victims of abuse is so abhorrent that it makes you cringe. This is interesting that when helpless women are dragged out of their homes and publicly raped in front of hundreds and thousands of onlookers you don't manifest your displeasure by cringing, but the word appreciate makes you cringe, the rape and abduction of the Nigerian girls! does that make you cringe. I know a certain minority of man think that MANNING UP!!! means raping the women of your opponent. Making wives and daughters tremble with fear and people like me believe that protecting and supporting them is Manning Up!!!god forbid one day it happens to any of us, I am sure we will appreciate the good man that present themselves to support and help. Push the divorced women aside as if they are garbage and treat them like plague that is okay by the so called socialites but the word appreciate will make them fly of the handle.
NOW MAN UP and answer the question, will you or not consider marrying a victim of rape, if you do not answer the question please don't bother with me again.

With all due respect, I don't recall Le Pak stating that she supports the atrocities taking place in Nigeria. In fact, if you read the thread regarding the violence in Nigeria, most people on there expressed disgust and strongly condemned it. I don't know what you're on about people ignoring it.
You almost make the “brand new out of the wrapper kind of girl” sound like it’s something bad. Manning up does not mean whom you marry, but what security you provide to your spouse and how you handle the ups and downs of the relationship, none of which is specific to whether you marry an abused girl or an untouched virgin.
