Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone.

I'll say this again, in bigger letters, for ease of reading: the only part of my post that was directed towards you, is the part about you potentially exploding over what you might construe to be an actual comparison between the F?hrer and the Windbag.

I see, so you admit you were just being a jerk. You even put it in BIG WORDS for all to see. Good for you, you must be so proud.

You think I give a crap whether you specifically attacked me or not? Perception becomes reality, again, and the Deja Vu goes both ways. The real question is - do you ever do anything different?

...

Now before you go bouncing off the walls

...

I think it's key to use this phrase at the beginning of your post, not in the middle, or towards the end.

It has to be read before someone goes bouncing off the walls, or goes nuts, or bonkers, freaks out, or goes into conniptions, as the case may be.

It's not really feasible to tell someone not to go bouncing off the walls, when they're already bouncing off the walls.

Alternately, bouncing off the wall a little might be the desired response, and Thumb just wants to highlight it. In that case, the phrase in the middle of the post could read: "Now, after you're done bouncing off the walls, ..."

I don't think you can read any sort of malicious intent like that into it. i thought it was clear he was not drawing a personal distinction between Hitler and Limbaugh, but the idea that you can defend a categorically bad person by pointing to their relatively minor good works, or at least not totally unsavory aspects of their character, and he wanted to make that clear.

Either way, on this board, the obvious comparison should have been to Tressel, not Hitler.

Well, being consistent here, I think you'd have to at least concede that Tressel wasn't COMPLETELY pathetic. He did a lot of good things for ohio. He gave those people something to believe in, and beat TTUN.

Plus, he was a good christian man...

...in the "Do as I say, not as I do" tradition, alternatively known as the "Newt Gingrich / Pat Robertson / Jim Bakker" tradition.

True. He's only an example of defending a bad person with examples of good acts.

Going off on a message board has more to do with whether you felt insulted/offended. It has really nothing to do with the actual intentions.

Sometimes, a post can be read wrong, in which case, it was an oops. In this case, maybe not so much.

Stating it up front, doesn't do all that much except get you prepared to go off.

Lastly, should note who was the poster quoted in the response in question. If it wasn't designed to specifically get me to go off, you can call me a monkey's uncle.

. . . and anyway, most should know by now how persnickety I can get comparing anything to the man who killed milions and millions of people.

You're a monkey's uncle.

And again, for the 1000th time, I did not compare them. I used Hitler because extreme examples often emphasize a point.

I added the "before you go bouncing off the walls" part in hopes that you would read it without trying to add in context that was not there, and because you have a propensity for being a little short fused/unstable at times in your responses.

Jim Murray took some flack for describing Rickey Henderson's strike zone as "smaller than Hitler's heart."

As a youth, Hitler was the butt of numerous jokes, among us youths. Apparently, some people think he's just someone we need to forget about. Which would be disasterous.

Man, you seem to be the one that is unstable.

1) I already explained why that extreme example would not emphasize anything, and further why it was a bad example.
2) I already explained how well I understood that the little good someone does does NOT outweigh all the bad. IN MY FIRST POST ABOUT IT. Did you read it?
3) You were responding to a post of mine. If you didn't want a response from me emotional or otherwise, why would you quote my post?
4) You mostly certainly did compare them. Saying you didn't for the 1000th time means just as little as it did the other 999 times. How else could you possibly think it would emphasize the point?? You juxtaposed them in the same sentence. Do you need a dictionary to see what "comparing" means?

Base on these facts, my response should have been expected, no matter how many disclaimers you make. Sure looks directed at me, and since you expected me to go off, how would any reasonable person come to the conclusion that it was not aimed directly at me?

Well join the club. When I'm involved it usually takes two to beat that dead horse. If you want to keep kicking it, that is up to you. Certainly, I will stop if I get no response.

 

[Michchamp]

no, it takes two to tango; just one to beat a dead horse.

 

[KAWDUP]

no, it takes two to tango; just one to beat a dead horse.

Maybe it only takes one, but in this case, I'd say two are kickin' it pretty good.

Butt out Kemosabe.

I don't think we need to forget about him, but using him as the political bogeyman to tar every enemy should stop.

of course... when someone is actually acting like a nazi the comparison is valid. and his rise to power should be remembered... if only certain political parties in Germany had shunned him, instead of feeling they could control him, the horror he wrought could've been avoided completely.
