Trolls Make My Teeth Ache

[filkertom]

I seem to have a troll. Loads of fun, and nearly completely wrong on everything except the fact that I used to have a really messy car, which was kinda common knowledge so it's not exactly the big reveal in Act Three of CSI: Fandom.

Word to the troll, whose IP is noted and logged: Don't bother. I am not a tech whiz, and don't pretend to be one. I know lots of real tech whizzes, and they are the people I go to when I have serious problems. But I'm not clueless either.

If you've got a genuine problem with me about something, the e-mail is filkertom at yahoo dot com. I'll listen. If I just offend you on general principles, though, sorry, but I don't feel like explaining private details of my life just to deflect an amateur-night Don Rickles. If you just want to insult me from behind a fake name, both of us have better things to do.

So, is anybody else holding some kinda grudge I should know about? Have I ticked you off? Something unresolved? I'm very serious here. Apart from the Bush Administration and their enablers, I don't need or want enemies. Certainly not in fandom, not among people whom I consider friends. If you'd rather take it to e-mail, that's good too.

Wow, missing my point AND twisting my words...and in just two sentences. That takes some serious talent.

Any race or religion can have a message carried in its name by unelected "leaders" and cause undue influence in other people's opinion of it.

That was my point. We clear on what I said now?

Only in this regard do I say race and religion are interchangeable. If I wish to say it in any other regard, I'll be sure to do it myself thankyouverymuch.

Races do not have official platforms.

Religions do.

Thus it is possible to have some person in authority who, officially or not, really does represent a religion's position.

You need to work on your analogies.

My anologies are fine.

They demonstrate one point where race and religion are similar. You are pointing out the other places where they are not (and not relevant to the point I make. But just to make it clear since you seem to think I am unaware of it, Religions and Races are different things. Who knew?)

I make one small point, and your rebuttal is the point doesn't work in the larger context where I make no bones about it.

Seriously, I love how you stretch my analogies out of shape and then claim I'm the one who needs to work on them.

Talent. You've got some Real Serious Talent there. Ann Coulter's got nuthing on you.

Demonstrating how an ill-conceived analogy breaks down in the fact of the slightest scrutiny is a talent?

Wow. I should pack my bags for the 30th Century and try out for the Legion of Super Heroes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Super_Heroes).

Ann Coulter's got nuthing on you.

I'm going to do something now that you've already accused me of: I'm going to deliberately misunderstand you.

Wow, you're right. She doesn't. She lacks the ability to reason coherently.
