Okay. But then why not just delete?
I had a long post that for some technical reason did not post fully, and I tried to fix it, but the fix did not take, and I do not like to delete posts. It strikes me as less than forthright. So I NMed it instead, indicating my intention to post.
But my turn for a question.
Barton with all the interesting things to comment on, and add some content to, many issues which Tony brought up or kid brought up, why did you only comment on my post, which was likely the least offensive post posted in Elba since Hammy got booted for the high crime of insufficient empathy?
The jocular vein in which I posted clearly needed an emoticon. No serious comment intended. Really a play off the concept of "never mind. "
I've posted several times today on other comments, as well as on bulk settlements to renters....that post directly preceded my unserious one. I confess I don't often find much in Tony's posts that I can adequately address, brimful of idealism though they may be.
Without addressing whether Tony is serious/infantile/or a performance artist producing some demented off the wall art, his posts contain enough sexist, politically incorrect, religious intolerance that it should keep Elba's social justice warriors on their toes. They should be addressed.
I've wondered whether his Elba hall pass was a general concern over abusing the emotionally ill, which may be a legit concern. Consequently I try to handle his content politely but in a pointed manner, but I think my responses are clear, to his ramblings, which you call idealistic.
And you are entitled to characterizing Tony's posts however you like.
But I do not believe mental illness is an adequate excuse for sexist/religiously intolerant content not being called out and questioned, which I've started to do.
YMMV
When I get the time I will delete my truly offensive post that sparked your ire and interest.
