<title>Comment by David Yeagley on Mea Culpa: My un-hate crimes</title>

<description>I just discovered this entry.  Amazing discourse.  Scintillating.  Stellar.

I wonder if any of those so quick to accuse others of hate really understand what hate is?  Probably not, since they are apparently refulgent with it.  

They want to make a anti-doctrine out of a natural emotion.  This give them the sense of power, authority, and would-be control.  

Aversion is something to be managed, not removed.  Only a murderous idealist, a willfully ignorant robotic-minded person would think it could be removed.  </description>

<description>Hate crimes arise from anger and hate to prevent privileges and rights. Dehumanization fails to recognize the rights as present and denies privileges of having the rights. The thought process of dehumanization and hate are distinctively different and should not be combined into one uniform hate crimes law because they are on opposite sides of the human rights dividing line. One acknowledges existence and right to exist; one does not.</description>

<description>re: AL BARGER as Evil Incarnate

Jeez, he&#039;s got a &lt;I&gt;White Heat&lt;/I&gt; poster of Cagney choking Virginia Mayo hanging in the living room.

I mean, what&#039;s not to like?

<description>I DO in fact have a big &lt;i&gt;White Heat&lt;/i&gt; poster of Cagney choking Virginia Mayo hanging in the living room.  (A gift from the mother of my godson.)  I could go all &quot;top of the world&quot; as a last resort.  </description>

<description>Dawn, I must defend Shark here.  I&#039;m trying not unnecessarily provoke our unhappy camper, but what she&#039;s gotten here in the last few days is pretty mild treatment.  Considering the last week of pure hostile hysterics she has subjected us to (right up to #64 here), comment 65 is not especially harsh.  &#039;You need to get laid&#039; is a pretty common rejoinder here- even just on this thread (ie #45).  Not an especially harsh jab. Not 1% of the kind of foolishness she&#039;s subjected the rest of us to.

In short, having long extended hissy fits does NOT entitle you to special consideration.  You should in fact expect quite the opposite.

Then again, I&#039;d best shut up, lest she decide to go back into tirade mode- and then I&#039;d be the bad guy.

Not that I wasn&#039;t Evil Incarnate before.</description>

<description>re: &lt;i&gt;&quot;You sir, are just really mean. Mac may have pissed you off, but I keep seeing you sink lower and lower to insult her. How far are you willing to sink to make a point?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Here&#039;s the deal: I&#039;ve been falsely accused of being an &quot;overt racist&quot; and &#039;wishing&#039; her dead. When I asked her to produce one iota of evidence, she replied, &lt;b&gt;&quot;Too many to list, cretin.&quot;&lt;/b&gt; That&#039;s a pretty chicken-shit cop-out relatively serious circumstances.

My question: how far is &lt;b&gt;she&lt;/b&gt; willing to sink to make a point?

Lower than calling Eric a spineless coward, &quot;deaf and blind as well as lacking a backbone&quot;, &quot;Barger-Lite&quot;, and a few other pretty friggin&#039; low blows? She even stooped so low as to *equate him with a participant in a LYNCHING PARTY! 

* Diva on Eric: &lt;i&gt;&quot;...Just like all those white people who made parties of lynchings and then claimed only the men who did the actual hanging were responsible.&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

Frankly, I&#039;ve participated in various writer boards since 1994, and I&#039;ve never seen such a tiny but prolific tail wag such a big dog as Blogcritics. 

She throws the &#039;racist&#039; tag around like it&#039;s a hot frisbee; that&#039;s a strong word to be using on a daily basis in a public forum. (a thread killer, too) She tries to humiliate just about everyone she encounters, and stoops to name-calling at the drop of a mouse.

Most people seem content with letting her off the hook, but I&#039;m not going to be bullied, harassed, and have my name dragged through the mud in public without a response.

I try to do it with humor (picture me typing with a big ol&#039; smile on my face), but she has no problem with settin&#039; loose the hounds, so sometimes I start channeling my inner-pit-bull in defense. 

ruff-ruff.

I&#039;ll tether the little beast when she does.


(or as you stated earlier: &lt;B&gt;&quot;either shut the hell up with that kind of fucking crap, or you can deal with me.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;)

<description>Well, if they gotta do it and the husband is present, he really should refrain from requesting extra stitches or the installation of a drawstring. 

Just some helpful advice from someone who&#039;s been there.</description>

<description>Shark, while I may have displayed some righteous indignation over the way the Editor of this site is being mistreated, you sir, are just really mean.

<description>&lt;b&gt;Now we know what keeps MacAttack quiet for a few precious hours:&lt;/b&gt; 

[dawn, bhw, and Joe] &lt;b&gt;talking about sex and relationships.&lt;/b&gt;

One could almost picture &#039;Diva&#039; gritting her teeth while the white noise from her flacid keyboard hummed in the background--- waiting for some poor unsuspecting &#039;flea&#039; to land in her oversensitive craw.

PS: umm, mac, you&#039;re single, right?

heh heh.

<description>Chris, you have never rated that much attention from me.  I&#039;ve considered you a flea, but now you are being demoted to a gnat.  I wonder how long it will take your new employer to figure out what I already know and do what the last one did. 

And, oh, you forgot to congratulate your pal Barger on his latest &#039;accidental&#039; racism jaunt.  </description>
