There’s a distinction between child molesters and pedophiles, with a large amount of overlap between the two groups. Not all molesters are pedophiles, not all pedophiles molest. But once a pedophile starts molesting, yes the odds of it just being one child are slim. As someone else noted, some pedophiles are…

For whatever reason that took a long time to load so it was very suspenseful for me as I was like - is it a funny gif? oh, it’s a video, I wonder what it is? American Psycho? High Fidelity? High Fidelity. Perfect. Damn that really is a catchy fucking song.

I’m not posturing, I just keep making the mistake of giving you more credit than you deserve. You’ve convinced yourself that I’m a pedophile apologist, so of course you think I would do something as stupid as lie about my credentials. I didn’t anticipate that because I keep hoping you’re not as stupid and manipulative…

Thank you for sharing your story about the valuable service snotty record clerks provide in publicly shaming anti-social behavior such as the purchase of Huey Lewis and the News albums.

I’m not worked up into a lather, I’m genuinely fucking amused at this point. You’re totally right. I — a person who graduated in the top 5% of my law school class, got the top grade in Con Law I & II, and won awards for oral advocacy — am clearly the person in this conversation who doesn’t know what due process is,…

I can top that, I thought “gender reveal” was referencing someone coming out as trans so I was super confused, staring at the photos and did not understand what this was about at all until getting to the end of the first paragraph. Now I can’t stop laughing at myself. #ChildFree

In what universe does focusing a discussion on the disagreement that started the discussion count as being “confused”

I’m not attempting to condescend to you, I’m actually putting a lot of effort into disguising my withering contempt for you and how comically assured you are of your own intellectual superiority when you’re writing shit like this:

Are you a fan of cringe humor? Because the thought of the raging ginger trying to fit in at a HBCU has a lot of potential.

that black people are fools for not voting for Bernie Sanders.

Rage virus?

HamNo just wants you to enjoy good yogurt.

It’s always nice when we can attach our petty grievances to a legitimate reason to disapprove of someone.

Uniforms for teenage girls are perfect because they give them a harmless outlet for all sorts of rebellion.

I would fuck over Nick Denton so hard given the first opportunity it’s not even funny. I’ve been reading GM since the beginning and I’m convinced that its ability to continually employ talented writers is a sign of Denton’s incompetence because absolutely nothing that fucker says indicates that he knows what the hell…

Ok, I’m not even going to pretend to have read through all that shit. If you seriously don’t understand that interpreting “you can’t get a critical mass of people to do that” as “you can’t get everyone to do that” is a bad faith reading, then there is no fucking point. If you insist on acting like there is an audience…

Is dishonest ad hominem—a way of dismissing an argument not because of its reasoning, but because your made up fantasy about my motives.

You’re confused because you insist on treating anything less than 100% agreement as fundamentally hostile to your overall goal. Yes, I was dismissive of refusing to work with Woody Allen as being particularly effective but I gave an example of refusing to work with someone else that would be effective. That is a point…

Seriously, I just reread this entire exchange and it’s kind of amazing how every time I’ve drawn attention to our common ground you’ve either completely ignored it or treated it like a capitulation rather than WE FUCKING AGREE.
