ORIGINAL: juliaoceania ... I have found Stoney is not that unusual in the men I have heard talk... unfortunate but true. That's like making the following statement: "He's pretty well behaved around African-Americans for a Klansman." This man's foolishness doesn't disappear just because there may be others exhibiting similar or worse behavior than he. C'mon...! I'm a man. I don't go around talking about the women in my life as all falling onto their backs to get what they want in life. Good lord! I am not that invested in anything to do with these people. So I don't have a strong opinion about them either way. But as this is a medium of words, Stoney being as inarticulate as he is doesn't help him at all. In the main I'd say he comes across quite unfavorably - and it's no one else's fault but his own. You know, I have heard intolerant comments from my own mother. Do you suppose I let her speak that way in my presence without calling attention to it? I do not. I have a friend that sometimes makes racist comments. I just look into my friends face and say, "You're such a racist asshole." Sure, we all have to face intolerance from time to time. Some of us don't give it a pass - I sure the hell don't. I figure some people say things without stopping to think first. Well, they can learn to give a moment's pause before talking shit about others. If they talk shit in front of me, well I see it as fair game to go ballistic on their asses. Sometimes you have to take people aside and say to them, "Hey, shut up. What if that person overheard you? Do you want to hurt the feelings of someone you don't even know?!" Trust me, you are doing them a favor. Maybe no one ever said that to them before. From the OP (hearsay) and from his own posts further down, Stoney comes across like an intolerant jackass. I hate that kind of meanness in others, it makes me feel quite mean in return. For me it was as if Stoney had painted a target on his own ass. So yeah, I'm gonna kick it. Sometimes you walk on by. Other times you have to stand and fight or the sickness perpetuates itself and breeds further madness. Intolerance is like that. Elsewhere I have seen LordandMaster take down some people for being twits in exactly the same way. I swear to god, if he wasn't there doing it first I'd feel like I had to do it in his stead. And it's weird to whom it must be done or said. SirKenin has at times made very insightful comments - and then you see him talk nonsense about the stereotypical traits of Jewish people or the Chinese. It really pushed my buttons because I don't think SirKenin is actually a stupid man. But what gives with the stereotypes? You have these moments and say to yourself, "Whoa, when did this guy become such a dick?" And no, I am not perfect. Sometimes I'm just as much of a dick as anyone else. I get called out for it all the time. This is how we self-regulate: we shove each other around some and then it settles down. Everything's cool.
