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.

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.

Ken, you have managed over the years to alienate just about everyone
that used to call you friend. Tom doesn't deserve your ire; he speaks
the truth. You go hunting for what you believe to be anti-pc material,
including racism. Your attack on RW years ago is a perfect example.
Now you attack on Tom Littleton? Un****inbelievable. You need help.
You say you have a very satisfying life. I doubt that. You're the one
on roff that everyone loves to hate. Wolfgang can't hold a candle to
you.

Ever since I have been on ROFF there is a heavy undertone of nasty ****!
I do not believe that I am in any way the cause of that
although at time I have been caught up in it
If you look at the posts from some of the more active posters and people you
will find , and unbelevably so
an underlying sarcastic, baseless and classless attitude.
Where does this come from???

It has been intimated that many of the early and regular members left for
some of the aforementioned reasons

We are all here for mainly one reason or 2 - our love of the outdoors and
fly fishing
I guess that that alone - is not enough ???

short on reading comprehension as well, I see. I was commenting on the fact
that you, the defender of the free world regarding 'racism', freely call
people who merely express a different opinion "asshole". Talk about Usenet
tough guys, you wouldn't have the balls to even come close to doing that in
person.

If calling virtual acquaintences pricks and assholes is your idea of
satisfying, go for it. Perhaps you need a fishing trip......try not to be an
idiot and leave the wallet on the car roof next time.
Now go lift some virtual weights so you can kick some virtual
ass while seated safely behind your keyboard. Asshole.

I'll stand by my words. You're all talk and no balls. And frankly, your
trivializing of racism irks me.
