And just who does this little chimp ...

I don't understand why you post racist garbage like this
to a fly fishing group.

huh?? Simian references are automatically racist? Who knew?

You're as disingenuous as he is. You know that it is racist
when a prick like Rick (white, that is) calls a person of
color a monkey and a chimp.

Who knew ? You did.

nonsense. You're making assumptions based on another individual's thought
pattern, which you cannot possibly discern. Further, you ought to know as
well as I that Rick isn't putting all that much deep thought into a ROFF
post.
Person of color? Is every person not Anglo-Saxon now a 'person of color' for
which we should be overly sensitive in our descriptions? Geez, Louise, you
take the White Man's Burden to unprecedented levels, Ken.

Who knew ? You did.

I know Politically Correct silliness when I read it. The man's point was
basic: Chavez is threatening to cut off oil to the US. Doing so would kill
his own economy, so is likely a hollow threat, in the near-term. As I said,
I wouldn't use the word Chimp to describe Chavez, reserving that for GWB,
but certainly didn't recoil in horror at any overt racism when I read Rick's
use of it.
Further, I wouldn't have read it that way if you, Jeff Miller, Giles, or
LaCourse used the term. It was disparaging, it clearly was NOT racist. Get
off your high horse, Ken, because all I'm seeing is the steed's rear end.

It's not nonsense, it's racist garbage and if you didn't have
your head up your ass you would recognize it as such.

Your cutesy word games and accusations of "political correctness"
are lame, dishonest and mendacious bull****.

I know racist garbage when I see it, and so do you. Quit lying
about it, asshole.

charming. But, no, you don't know, and further, IMHO, you severely cheapen
REAL racism by these childish snits over silly verbiage.

Racist garbage posted to a public fly fishing forum is just
as much real racism as any other form. Dismissing it as mere
silly verbiage indicates that you are either a liar or an
idiot. Not to preclude the possibility you could be both.

the explanation of the context was succinct, and too bad you didn't accept
it. My point was, and still will be, that every time you go into a hissy fit
over something like this, you trivialize the real racism and bigotry still
extant in our society and the world. Further, by calling me names, you make
yourself(again) look like a real sorry excuse for a man. I'll tell you right
now, call me 'asshole' to my face and you'll be looking for a ****load of
missing teeth. You're a classless, clueless and terribly pedantic bore, with
nothing better to do than look for racism where there is none. Get a life,
Ken, please.

Wow. Threats of physical violence delivered from the safety of
your keyboard. You're a real Usenet tough guy, you are.

With rdean posting his frequent racist spew to roff I don't have
to do any looking at all. All I have to do is read roff. And I
have a very satisfying life, thank you.

Now go lift some virtual weights so you can kick some virtual
ass while seated safely behind your keyboard. Asshole.

If someone called me an idiot or moron or even imbecile to my face, I can
still handle myself quite well and I would kick the goat in his scrotum
If some verbose ass and classless pedantic bore called me that in a ng -
well I would killfile the prick!

I wuz born in de Brooklyn - No Fear here!!

BTW I would never harm a real goat, much less any animal - Ssub humans or
those who pretend to be - I have no problem w bodily harm to them

Well, so much for language, semantics, logic, semiotics, epistemology
and all THAT useless ****!

Well, he is obviously putting less deep thought into it than you are
putting deep throat into it. The unresolved question is one of
capacity and, personally, I think you've got him beat heads down.

Person of color? Is every person not Anglo-Saxon now a 'person of color' for
which we should be overly sensitive in our descriptions? Geez, Louise, you

Funny thing is, *I* (like most people) don't have any trouble at all
with the term 'person of color' whereas you and kennie and the
diminutive member STILL don't have a ****ing clue. Funny
thing.....ainna?

Who knew ? You did.

Bull****.

The man's point was
basic: Chavez is threatening to cut off oil to the US. Doing so would kill

Bull****. You don't have any better idea of what his point was than
he does.

As I said,

Well, that's mighty white of you.

but certainly didn't recoil in horror at any overt racism when I read Rick's
use of it.

One more cynical than I might suggest that one who is accustomed to
residing with his head up a cracker ass can probably be excused from
failing to recoil in horror at pretty much anything or other.

Further, I wouldn't have read it that way if you, Jeff Miller, Giles, or
LaCourse used the term.

One has pretty much given up any residual hope of guessing how you
would have read anything that didn't emanate from a particular cracker
ass.

It was disparaging, it clearly was NOT racist.

It was stupid. As always. And yes, it was racist.....as always.

Get
off your high horse, Ken, because all I'm seeing is the steed's rear end.

That ain't no steed. It's a cracker. And, no, it don't much matter
which cracker we're talking about.
