Guest Loss Report post Posted November 20, 2004 I had a response in the bag, and I couldn't figure out what it was. Can you sum this conversation up narratively? You're a good writer; maybe that'll help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2004 Okay, I had "Failed Mascot Concept" as my screen name on Messenger because it's an amusing phrase. He starts verbally assaulting me about Indian-named sports teams, because he discovered his Indian heritage and God has chosen him to fight for them. I'm not making this up. So he lists all the teams, and while I admit the Redskins is offensive, it's a little late in the game to do anything about it. Even though he wants the KC Chiefs, Blackhawks, Fighting Illini, Seminoles, and all of those gone, Mr. Idea can't think of replacement names. After this, he went on some rant that I cannot call myself a gentleman, nor refined, independent, noble, free. Because this is what all liberals are, of course. Except that many people on the left are quite far from this supposed ideal. So I finally got fed up when he called me a fascist and blocked him. I was just amused by his sweeping generalization for liberals, and also that U of I changes to "The Melting Pot." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though he wants the KC Chiefs, Blackhawks, Fighting Illini, Seminoles, and all of those gone, Mr. Idea can't think of replacement names. Yeah, and sadly, The Smart Marks is already taken. Anyway, he has a halfway valid point here, which you acknowledged. After this, he went on some rant that I cannot call myself a gentleman, nor refined, independent, noble, free. Because this is what all liberals are, of course. Except that many people on the left are quite far from this supposed ideal. Of course. He's a shithead for saying that. There are stupid liberals and stupid conservatives. Stupidity doesn't discriminate against race, gender, religion or sexual orientation, and it sure as Hell doesn't discriminate against political affiliation. So I finally got fed up when he called me a fascist and blocked him. You're not a fascist. You just play one on a message board. In seriousness, he's being silly. I was just amused by his sweeping generalization for liberals, and also that U of I changes to "The Melting Pot." What? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2004 I instantly distrust anyone who doesn't make the effort to write out complete words. Incomplete sentences, that I can somewhat understand in the modern internet shorthand. But substituting letters or symbols for words - such as "U R GR8!!!" - makes me want to stab people with pencils. Mechanical pencils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2004 Just leave the teams alone. The Braves have been the Braves since the 1880s or something, back in Boston I think they've been the Braves since maybe the 1910s. But, I've heard that a large majority of Native Americans don't really care about the nicknames of teams like Washington. I guess they have bigger things to devote their concern too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
