Kett's SPOTD 12-2-2012--ACW hits a Grand slam

[Sherman]

The pitcher on the Mound is Town Heretic, one of TOL's best pitchers. His knuckle ball is hard to bat back. He pitches where the batter is vulnerable. The crowd is cheering the pitcher. Townie with his classy style is a popular one. The Batter on the other hand, like Roger Maris in 1962, is not a popular batter and yet he has a reputation for drilling the ball hard often into the pitcher's legs.

The bases are loaded: Townie winds up and pitches. It's a knuckler.

For those unaccustomed to ASCon's methodology, when he loses a point he scrambles to create something he can wave a checkered flag at.

ACW swings. Crack! The ball is sailing into the stadium lights. The audience is already booing.

I have an admission to make that I've been holding back for sometime now TH (I suggest that everyone sit down, as this could literally knock you down).

aCultureWarrior lowers his head, trying to find the right words to say (dang it aCW, just be honest with them, they'll understand).

I was born with the "mock gene". I knew from an early age that I was born to mock, but didn't understand why. Then a group of mockers got a hold of me and told me that I was born that way! Once I found that others were like me, we started a club.

Not having the free will to change, I decided that I needed protection from mockophobic bigots and made the necessary connections in the legislature to add my gene to state and federal hate crime laws.

Sigh, I feel so much better now that I've gotten that burdensome secret off of my chest.

The ball finally lands behind the upper level seats behind center field as all the base runners run over home plate.

All of the above can and has been done in the "Why Homosexuality MUST Be Recriminalized!" thread.

Thanks for the SPOTD Inzl.

Like homosexuality, mockery is a changeable behavior. Unlike homosexuality, mocking evil isn't immoral (so don't expect me to change my behavior anytime soon).

In all honesty, I became a mocker because I spent decades around liberals like Town Heretic and annabenedetti (it isn't a genetic trait, it's environmental).

Okay Inzl, here's your chance.

 

[Sherman]

There is a lot of truth in your post. It point put the lie that homosexuals use to excuse their behavior.

You posting style is called parody. It doesn't go over too well with a lot of people. You bat into their kneecaps quite a lot. You can change it up some so it doesn't get you into trouble.

Just don't bat the ball into where their family is sitting. .

Okay Inzl, here's your chance.

What did I say about the thread rules?

If you don't like the guy, please stay out of the thread.

This is a area we don't agree.

This has nothing to do with my liking him or not, so that doesn't apply. Nor am I bashing him, so that doesn't apply.

I'm asking you: You're going to allow him to bash others here while protecting him from bashing?

People that take their sexual sins seriously, don't like to be told that they can't do them. Since our current secular humanist legal system allows them to do so, I throw mockery in so that they'll at least have to see a dental specialist for a bad case of TMJ.

You can change it up some so it doesn't get you into trouble.

Just don't bat the ball into where their family is sitting. .

It's all in good fun, or as the boss man so eloquently put it:

"TOL is not your typical Christian forum. This isn't a place for "lovey, dovey, hugs and group versions of Kumbaya". TOL can be a rough place, you need to have some thick skin to participate here. Which means... TOL isn't for everyone. Some people would rather participate in a more Rodney King kind of style."

I don't see how this is bashing, unless, you think being called a liberal is insulting.
He not accusing you of any malfeasance.

Folks on this board need to grow a thicker hide. I sure have. I was thin skinned when I first joined.

Do you think it's okay to misrepresent another poster's religion or politics? If you do that makes sense.

Otherwise, he just violated the terms of your OP.

He not accusing you of any malfeasance.

He's lying. He knows neither of us identify as that and he means it as an insult.

Folks on this board need to grow a thicker hide.

Then why attempt to restrict comments to praise, IK? You're having a real problem with consistency tonight. You took exception to people treating you like aCW demonstrably and regularly treats others but you give him a pass. Worse, you defend and praise him.

Now when some on the left say the hard right doesn't care how its own behave so long as they do it appearing to salute the flag you'll understand where it's coming from.

His posting style is called parody.

No, that's not what a lie is. It's not what calling a member of the Body a pagan is.

Now the post you liked was. I don't have a problem with that. It wasn't really an answer to me, so connecting me to it except as a matter of chronology was peculiar, but it was a stab at humor and not half bad for him.

...In all honesty,

A word I'm surprised you even know how to spell.

I became a mocker because I spent decades around liberals like Town Heretic and annabenedetti (it isn't a genetic trait, it's environmental).

I'm no more a liberal (nor is anna, to my right) than you are honest.

Sorry IK, but I checked and didn't see any report of his post, so if he gets to libel me then I'm going to answer him.

In the name of fairness and TOL solidarity, I offer a motion allowing Town Heretic and annabenedetti to call me a name:

"Christian conservative".

Unlike you, I've never called another members profession of faith into question. And I don't doubt you're a conservative. No, I've said precisely what I consider you and stand ready to support it, as ever, with your own practice and words...how that impacts your faith and politics, or the way people view either is a separate matter.

Okay. Inzl asked that some rules be followed in this thread. She's made her point with the thread. So, I'm going to lock the thread.

Personally, I think it's pretty bad that people whine about her giving ACW a POTD because she agrees with what he's said. I don't know whether to laugh at you all or to feel sorry for you.
