Elaborate.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

It's not just about being offended, it's about closing the dialogue completely with the offender without attempting to fully understand what they said or did that was so offensive.

Elaborate.

It screams overreactionary bullshit. Did you bother to ask her to explain in the thread it happened in, which I can't even find at the moment, because I am completely goddamn inept with the EC search function? Or did you just slap her on ignore and harbor a grudge until some silly little thread like this that actually airs some of this bullshit out in the open?

It happens like clockwork around here. As Chris Rock has said, 'That train is never late.'

I mean, Christ almighty, she was talking about banning some random foreigners from a little art community. It isn't like she called them the fucking warmongering Islamic jihadists that they are, is it?

Actually I did comment on it in the same thread and the way it came over was "We're trying to get all turks banned from X, because they're all stalkers" which is different from "We're trying to get a few guys from Turkey banned, because they are stalkers".

I've got.. Jackman, Somthor, and Beau that I can think of right off the top of my head. Our definitions of harassment must not share the same page of the dictionary. I'm calling out stupidity as I see it, and you will note I have never brought this subject up with Mod before, which rules out all three Dictionary.com definitions of the word.

Also, Mod: You made no constructive effort to clear up confusion about the comment. "That is pretty racist" is nothing but the limp-wristed passive aggressive bullshit we see all too commonly around here. You could learn something from those tactless fucking Turks and make a stand for yourself.

Edit: 'Stand' twice in one sentence OH THE HUMANITY

I didn't feel confusion at the time, that is why I just voiced my disapproval by saying that I find that comment racist and moved on, had she gone back and clicked the thread again the whole thing would most likely have been cleared up back then, since she happened to not read it it got cleared up at some random occasion a few months later, it's not like I've been hounding her with a pressure drill ever since in an effort to avenge the Turks who suffered at her cruel bloody hands.

But you blame her. For making a comment you found offensive. In hindsight, sure, you could have gone on a lengthy tirade about the evils of some teenage Canadian artist who made an offhand comment about some dirty fucking Arabs, and she never would have seen it to respond, but you didn't. You had an opportunity to meet someone halfway to resolve a conflict and instead chose to leave a cowardly little quip and wander off.

Harboring a grudge isn't the only alternative to "working things out," though. What's wrong with just ignoring such a moron, then never giving them a second thought? It's not like they deserve any special consideration.
