Looks like I'm being talked about. Over at American Black they talk about a post by notoriously venemous Mac Diva in which she attacks me for my post about Public School's Evil Nature.
Her response is well thought out, backed up with facts, and has a lot of merit.
Where I start ignoring people, though, is when they immediatly throw out the race card by accusing someone of racism or bigotry without so much as a concrete example.
Much to what Mac Diva will have you belive, I am not, never have been, and never will be a racist. Aside from the occasional comment troll, I urge you to find something on my site I've said which is racist in nature.
I may say some things which may irritate a few like when I made fun of the NAACP, but you have to take the humorous posts with the serious ones, and be able to tell the difference. Note to people: When I write in a post how NPR is used to put people to sleep behind the wheel of the SUVs, it's mostly likely a humerous post.
In my experience, when people have poor arguments, self esteem issues, and know they've beaten in a discussion, they resort to name calling. It is also typical liberalism to label someone a bigot or a racist if they disagree with something.
Against gay marriage?
BIGOT
Against Affirmative Action?
RACIST
Want to go see "The Passion of The Christ"?
ANTI-SEMITE
And BTW, what does MAPP mean. Diva and now this guy refer to me as MAPP
Posted by psugrad98 at March 18, 2004 10:42 PMMAPP = My arm pits promise
MAPP = More ass part pumped
MAPP = Mom and Pop Popshop
MAPP = My aunt pops pills
MAPP = More ants pulled past
MAPP = My ass pants parted
MAPP = Maybe as purple people
Ok, I have no idea. That was fun though.
Posted by: Camille at March 19, 2004 02:55 PMfor one thing, you linked to the post above the right one.
I tried to read both posts, but I just got really bored. It was the same thing over and over again.
It seems she's one of those people who listen to Jesse Jackson and attribute every possible problem to racism. And frankly, that gets boring after a while.
As for the post about you, I couldn't read far enough to actually understand what the whole thing was about. it's your fault for linking to the wrong post. :P
Posted by: Taron W at March 19, 2004 05:26 PMI bet you linked to that post in order to keep the first post down. The man does that all the time. ;)
Posted by: Ted at March 20, 2004 08:06 PMI noticed over at Mac Diva there were no comments available to discuss/argue/disagree with that site's views and opinions. The points she brought up just go to show how hypocritical the liberal MO is. While in bed with big business as long as it suits them, eg the profit motive, as soon as it crosses over into the elitist thinking that smoking is bad for everyone, then it is OK to try to subvert their legal profit motivated business interest. It's none of their business if a private business owner wants to allow smoking in their legal establishment. To have school children writing letters to effect change based on their elitist point of view is an abomination. If they want to teach them how to effect change through participation in a letter writing campaign, they should at least let them have the option of writing a letter of support to the business owners who wish to exercise their private property rights the way they see fit without some elitist assholes interfering under the guise of "public health".
Just a thought... I read somewhere one time that there are more carcinogenes in a tomato than there is in second hand smoke. I wonder if that is a fact or urban legend?
Lastly, Mac Diva is a spell lamer! Shpxurnq!

I would check out snopes.com
Mothers Against Powerpoint. It's an Edward Tufte fanclub.

gosh, lucky for you she did then, eh?
wouldnt want to have to answer the points inbetween, would you?
perhaps it would have been an idea to take her more outlandish comments in context and treat them as you would have us treat your comedic moments; with laughter and without weight.
