Happy Siftversary!

Honestly, I barely remember you. I guess I was arguing with you about you using "nigger" or calling me a nigger? Let me go dig it up so I can remember whatever it is that you never let go of. In any event, rest assured, I certainly don't care enough about you to actually hate you.


I said *notquality because I think it's a shitty idea. And I thought it would be an ironic way to convey the message. That's it. No hidden hatred.

Do you still hate me because of the nigger thing?

You just didn't use the correct syntax. You have to use *backup=[...snipped...] but you used *backup=<embed ...>

Is there something about playlist embeds that doesn't work with *backup?
example link

When I did it the "*backup=..." was on top

I have bigger problems in life to worry about, so I'm not going to really stress out over this, but if you think calling me a nigger is a joke, you have a lot to learn. You don't know me, and just because I tried to be nice and extend a hand of friendship and understanding to you, it does not mean that you have the right to even jokingly call me a nigger.

I'm sorry that you and I locked horns Jigga. Honestly, I think we both agree on 99% of things. I know I find myself constantly agreeing with you. I'm certain there has been some misunderstandings. Anyway, I hope there are no hard feelings.

Don't sweat it chief. I think that being in the classroom has given me perspective on talking/dealing with people who you disagree with, mostly because as a teacher you really have to try to be as objective as possible (ideally, some of my colleagues, eh). I'm only a first year teacher but i've learned that getting people to understand your perspective takes a huge amount of restraint on your part. You have to try to 'fight the good fight' so to speak by sticking to your guns and resisting the STRONG temptations to fling shit. It's a good time, arguing. I mean, two people come together and try to figure something out and bother are better because of it.

One instance where that process gets interfered with however is through personal attacks. My dad isn't going to want to hear what I have to say if i call him an idiot or something similar because he calls Obama a nazi. Now, he does the same thing to me, (throws personal attacks and other logical fallacies I wont get into here) but I think he does it to stop the conversion. Either way, we have a rule here, and I just wanted some kind of consequences laid out. Calling someone a cocksucker isn't going to further our discussion and I think you'll agree.

All that being said, I'm sorry if I misrepresented myself through post editing. It didnt happen as often as you accused me of but it was a difficult medium to converse in. I think we would have been better off in the siftlounge or something, I would post something but then see that 4 other people had posted in the time i was writing, so that made me want to change what i'd said-gah what a mess.

Anyhoo it's all behind us now, lets get on with spreading the word on these morons roaming the streets. I didn't post this but I really wish i had (the bastard beat me by like 2 hours):

Take care of that cat!

Sorry, not snooping (I read all the comments) but that's so fucked up. I was just about to make a blog post about insomnia. Sucks don't it.

In reply to this comment by peggedbea:
I HAVE FUCKING INSOMNIA!!!!!!

Listen. I already told you, that's not my catnip! I don't know how it got in the bag! Hey! What are you doing with that taser? I'm not resisting! HELP! zZZzzppt!

Not really sure what you mean.
I think everyone who argues about anything feels their point of view is right.

In reply to this comment by JiggaJonson:
What's it like to argue with someone who assumes they are in the right constantly?

Take your fucking stupid arguments to the worthless sift talk post you made. Don't keep spamming my profile with your bullshit. That's your first and last warning asshole.

In reply to this comment by JiggaJonson:
Yeah and it also says, again, "Please avoid personal attacks. It's okay to criticize ideas but refrain personal insults. Please avoid blatantly racist speech, threats, or other verbal abuse."

We have not made a distinction in the rules on the sift. My question is, if Westy gets hobbled for an unspecified amount of time, why should you get away with half of the things you said to me in this sift talk?

^sort of like the original question except now I have a more blatant offender (you burd) to use as an example.

---------------------
You made a distinction when you titled this post. Westy was hobbled for racist remarks which you call a "joke". You don't get it.
As far as racism not being addressed in the FAQ: "... Please avoid blatantly racist speech ..."

sorry for the hassle on your clip Edd .. I owe you a promote ..
