It's quite repugnant to me and could possibly be more so than the one in the article: http://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/1006#1Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717590367259653590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-88353608283633381772014-06-03T12:03:51.128+01:002014-06-03T12:03:51.128+01:00"All Things Dull And Ugly" - Monty Pytho..."All Things Dull And Ugly" - Monty Python.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPriOQkKd6k<br /><br />:-)Stooshiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09541609914500686900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-6861828392555321852012-11-12T08:21:04.979+00:002012-11-12T08:21:04.979+00:00I blocked you at your request.

No doubt other people can, if they're at all interested.<br /><br />I'd rather comments here be pertinent to the actual blog if you don't mind, rather than consisting of long-winded self-justifications or pro AtheismPlus spam disguised as comment.Rosa Rubicondiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063268216781988588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-9619569964727586022012-11-12T01:42:45.144+00:002012-11-12T01:42:45.144+00:00Huh, blocked again despite you claiming to "d...Huh, blocked again despite you claiming to "defer" - more passive aggression. You are right people who don't say what they mean, aka "dishonest debaters", don't deserve respect. Hypocrite. And people who can't accept an honest apology with a modicum of grace, without taking pot shots? Pathetic.<br /><br />Thanks for proving the anti-A+ opposition every bit as shitty and unreasonable as A+ers. At least the A+ers have a moral grounding; whether A+ is a productive idea or not, at least they aren't trying to undermine social justice movements. If the A+ movement ends up bigger and stronger because of me, you can partly thank yourself for it.

I read it as perhaps not furious but at least exasperated with dealing with that kind of behavior...again it was misplaced empathy rather than telling you how you felt. I thought saying "that sucks" would communicate that I agreed that kind of behavior would make me not want to engage, and it seemed to be your main objection to A+.<br /><br />However, unless you were merely explaining your reaction, you seem to be implying some rather condescending and ugly things about me. If so, I think it's best we part ways because I won't apologize for things I didn't do and don't care for passive aggressive accusations in an already muddy medium. If that's NOT what you were doing, then I guess we've (for a third time) proved the bloody obvious; you can't hear the tone of one's voice through text!<br /><br />Man subtext is a b****.Dejacoupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-33108070757252717942012-11-11T14:07:19.712+00:002012-11-11T14:07:19.712+00:00Apology accepted.

Telling someone they're angry because they don't agree with you, and thus attributing their opinion to an irrational emotional response, is a particularly condescending and intellectually dishonest way to dismiss an opinion you don't want to think about - more worthy of a bigoted theist than an open-minded free-thinker, don't you think? <br /><br />It's a tactic often employed by supporters of AtheismPlus, for much the same reason.<br />Rosa Rubicondiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063268216781988588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-57215031698576899572012-11-11T12:48:58.859+00:002012-11-11T12:48:58.859+00:00I'm having a spot of trouble getting anyone to...I'm having a spot of trouble getting anyone to forward these tweets to you. You blocked me so fast I don't think you saw them. I don't mind if you keep me blocked as that's your option (and while I still don't know enough about A+ to think one way or the other, I'm seriously not about making anyone do anything they don't want to do), though it was clearly a miscommunication. Empathy that was crippled by the character limit and my poor wording. I do enjoy your tweets however and would appreciate it. Either way, cheers. I'm starting to regret I even asked what the deal was with A+. :/<br /><br />@RosaRubicondior o_o That actually wasn't condescension. I would be angry if 20 people vilified me for disagreeing too... Um.<br />@RosaRubicondior Either way, I apologize for projecting what I'd feel onto you.<br />Dejacoupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-65088065739334226712012-11-10T15:46:59.958+00:002012-11-10T15:46:59.958+00:00And of course they enthusiastically support and jo...And of course they enthusiastically support and join in neo-crusades against brown people on the other side of the planet, said brown people inhabiting lands filled with god-given resources which they have been too ungrateful to hand over gratis to their legitimate owners.Bill the Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436195659154078021noreply@blogger.com
