RhesusMonkWell, I appreciate the reasoned, thoughtful reply. Still, you have to admit, "shoulda been on the 12:10 instead of the 12:13 bus" is pretty good. :-)
Sorry you felt so betrayed and that this was my response to your first submission in years, but my being an admin does not exclude me from having or sharing an honest opinion.
I wasn't expecting any kind of physical assault, and if there was any I would've down-voted rather than abstained.
It comes down to a simple matter of opinion. In mine, there wasn't anything said that was clever or witty or poignant or a real potent zinger. He didn't shut her down, he just kept trying and failing to give her a good tongue lashing and she still kept right on yelling back. (Being shut down requires a person to desist.)
While he was digging for something good to say I kept watching and listening and waiting for him to hit paydirt and finally put her in her place, but it never happened. I think it's a matter of managing expectations; perhaps if the title didn't mislead me into expecting her to really be shutdown I would have been more neutral about his failed attempts to shut her down (though I still wouldn't have voted).

RhesusMonkI haven't posted a video in years. I finally find one that I thought was siftworthy and that i didn't think someone else would post, and this is what I get from you? I guess you saw the thumb and expected a woman to be attacked in some physical way. I find the dude's use of truth and humor to disarm far more enlightening, and is exactly the kind of culture I believe should be more prevalent in this particular forum. To say it shouldn't have made the front page, being who you are, is piss poor form, sir. Piss poor.
That's really the crux of the matter for me I suppose; it shouldn't have made the front page.

RhesusMonkFor anyone with even the slightest interest in Feynman, his book titled "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" is a must read. Hilarious and inspiring through and through.

RhesusMonkIt's actually "cut loose like a deuce" in the Springsteen original and the tags were tongue-in-cheek, but w/e.

It's REVVED up like a deuce! Like a classic car - the deuce coupe. Also mentioned in a beach boys song.

RhesusMonkWhat Nicole said. I like your style, dude. And I was totally not thinking about the self-inflicted racism you discussed. There's plenty of that in Taiwan--I try hard not to see it.
If ever you feel like posting a vid, drop me a line and we'll get you sorted out.

RhesusMonkWow, "member since" quite a while ago. Not much of a poster, eh? That's ok, we won't hold it against you. LOVE the Flight of Dragons thing you got goin' on. Also, love the handle: ever been to the river Claydee? Down by the valley so shady? (If you don't get what I'm talking about, sorry for seeming insane
