I spent entirely too much time on this.

Who?

As is your observation!

n.b. I don’t know the originals and have only read this post about this issue.

No.

...and why does he need so many?

You’ve really got a point there, except... once she made that comment, I’d be out. It is odd that he kept talking to her for so long. I felt like he was kind of trolling her to see how awful a thing he could get her to say. Not a very nice impulse.

Maybe our time is up soon anyway.

This.

I hope she said who it was and they have to deal with some shit.

I teach comp and honestly, I think the pathos in this case is in the facts rather than the wording. It would be very odd to say something like “while it got dark out.”

Ok... then I don’t think I am followed and have these powers of which you speak! Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something crappy. :D Thank you!

I don’t know what greying trolls means. Is there somewhere I can read up on it?

No. Just stop. If they are ok being called that, fine, but it’s a slur that shouldn’t be used by someone who claims to agitate for equality.

I really want to like this but ‘retards.’

You gd right about that. Even worse when govt agencies interfere with the voting process!

Thank you! I don’t really know how starring works or how to ‘unstar’ something. I saw I had some weird -1 marks next to posts but I really don’t understand the implications. Some of my posts seem to have disappeared but I haven’t been blocked from posting or anything like that, as far as I know. And taking them down…

If no one remembers these awards, one hopes that might logically persuade people not to make such awards.

As I wrote in a post that seems to have disappeared, I have already said that you are clearly intelligent. I also said that I was not disparaging the Bureau of Labor Statistics because they organize data by a variety of demographic metrics, including race. Your decision to represent your ideas solely with their racial…

I didn’t accuse that organization of racism. I clarified this in my last post. I am genuinely sorry that you are angry. I wish you would at least consider the possibility that black people are not inferior to other ‘races’ and that maybe power structures can be flawed sometimes.
