If I wanted to see apes fling feces at one another, I'd go to a zoo.

No one wants to see this ugliness continue, least of all me. I would hope the moderators expunge from the site this entire thread, along with the disgusting and false posts that launched this exchange
 
The question becomes: why did they choose to let it fly? What is the editorial stance on this thing. It has been allowed, and I would like to know why. Educate me.

I am tremendously amused by many of the so-called "outraged" and "disgusted" people on this thread.

Seems like they can't stop reading this stuff.

I would even bet that some of these posters can even quote parts of some of the "absolutely disgusting" posts from memory.

Note to Halina - Solo gets like this. You gotta take your lumps and people don't always agree with you. But I am watching. If it gets too heavy, I'm in your corner and will speak up.

Hey, Mike-

I hope you're not counting me among the outraged and disgusted. It's not strong enough for that. I mean, once someone's emailed you a file of a bald guy sticking his whole head up a girl's cooch, it's kind of the top of the mountain (that was yesterday).

And, it's true, I did ask "What are we doing?"  But that's not even worthy of being rhetorical, is it? We all know the main reason people are here, it's the same reason that traffic was backed up yesterday from state route 306 all the way to my street just because an old man drove his car over the curb and wrecked the planter boxes at Luigi's Pizza and Drive-Thru. It's the reason that the main bulk of data flowing through the greatest communication system since the fucking printing press is porno, and because of that at any goddamn given moment there's a bunch of guys sitting in front of terminals with their pants down around their knees messing up perfectly good office chairs. It's dog bites man, it's watching Japanese execs doing Elvis on karaoke night. And, by default, I imagine the organizational line is that it's Good For Business, and that would be absolutely fucking dead-to-the-boards right. And it's true that "SOLO gets that way," because pretty much most things at least that I've ever ran into Get That Way<tm>. I only frequent one place, including my own home, that never Gets That Way<tm>, and anyone around here that knows me knows where that is, which to most of them makes me invalid, and I say, hey, that's right, Blessed Be and if you don't like that eff yo mama (or Adam, or his daughter, or whoever else you feel like effing). And was it Robert B. that was writing about "stylized behavior" and that elevated way of being? Well, he must have just fallen off the back of the turnip truck, didn't he? Eff you, Robert. Eff, Eff, Eff!!!...have I got an email file for your stylized ass! I have Been To The Top of The Mountain and, my tight-assed brethren and sistren, I am here to tell you: The Barn Door is OPEN!!

There, now. That's much better, and I haven't even BEGUN to flog this dog and pony show.

rde
I wish I could attribute that to a 3-martini lunch.

Rich,

LOLOLOLOLOLOL...

That was funny as all get out. I don't know if you qualify as outraged or disgusted, but you do seem to like to read this stuff too...

//;-)

btw - That business about "stylized life" that Robert Bidinotto brought up had an unusually strong impact on me. I think I personally need more emphasis on embracing the good - and more solid cognitive identification before trouncing the bad. I've been working on that with myself recently. I like what is happening to me.

(I still have an ornery streak that I don't think ever will go away, though. I love to bait hypocrites. I have noticed how time consuming that is, however. Precious hours of my non-repeatable and non-replaceable life wasted on hypocrites.)

Michael

Thanks MSK--glad to know that!  This little romp in the mud has been quite amusing, to be honest.  I lived away from home at a dorm for all of last year, and even though I had my own independent post office box, telephone, email address and everything else one might need for autonomy, trust me, I've seen a great many mud slinging fights...even the honors dorm gets deep, down, and dirty with this stuff.
 
Jody, Jon, Ciro, Erickson: it has been fun.  A toast to you for keeping me on my toes and letting me see that my defense system is still strong.Maybe I'll have the joy of an intellectual discussion with you all some time?  It would certainly be more nutritious than this thing's been.
 
Dad, I don't think that private email you spoke of ever arrived.  Give it another go, won't ya?
 
See ya'll later...I'm going to go check out the intellectually meaty threads that don't quite represent what many of you has said looks like Judge-Judy-Springer's-National-Inquirer-edition-of-As-The-World-Turns.  As MSK said, and I agree, it seems everyone on this discussion actually enjoyed sucking the marrow out of this piece of unnecessary banter.
 
MMMM, JUICY!

That's because too many have a "...lean and hungry look.."

Hey, take that crap somewhere else. Pull your pants up, and take it somewhere else, sport.

I just spent 3 goddamn hours trying to animate a fake Ayn Rand porno off of a couple of grainy still shots, and let me tell you, the old girl's still got some back, baby, back, back, my baby's got back. I'm gonna kick Paris Hilton's ass with this thing.

I also just sent out email invites to every %$^& O'ist email address I could get my hands on. Did you hear? Peikoff is having a naked swinger pool party at his lush digs. His statement: "Time to put the 'O' back in Objectivism, this is not a logical phallus."

Stylize? Ack Ack Ack!!!! We're talking about people who have cha-cha workshops at their annual conventions. "Wear comfortable leather shoes."

Ack.
