- : Please refrain from yelling and expletive imperatives. The only person who
- : has thrown a temper tantrum thus far has been you, Tammy.
-
- I see that you do not judge your own actions by the same standard that you
- judge others.....*sigh*
-
-
- : And far from
- : childish have been the comments; on the contrary, they are based on facts
- : and psychological/historical references, which are very real even today.
-
- It is not your facts that I was referring to .... it was your childish
- display that un-nerved me enough to speak out as I did. It was not the
- exchange of ideas supported by fact....but the tantrum of a child who
- has a giant chip on his sholder and must make sure that all the world
- knows that it is there .... challenging by sarcastic statements of
- "excusing" for not "knowing his own history" and "teaching" of it by
- someone who "is more knowledgable on the subject".....
-
- This particular outburst was a disgrace.....
-
-
- : Do not speak when the words only serve to attack a person, rather than a
- : statement or idea.
-
- I was not attempting to attack you.....I was trying to knock that chip off....
-
- And by the way.....if you truly believe that one should speak only to attack
- statements or ideas and not people.....then you should go back and look
- at what you posted....I do believe that you are making a hippocrite of
- yourself.
-
-
- :
- : And finally, do not ever explain or attempt to understand honor and what it
- : means to myself and "my people" (whatever you mean by such a phrase).
- : Your statement is exactly what I was arguing against: ignorance and
- : assumption of ideas. I would _never_ ever tell another person to show
- : honor to a "people"
- : or "person" about which I know nothing.
-
- How the hell do you get the nerve to tell ME what I KNOW and DON'T KNOW about!
-
- Do you know me....do you know my background....do you know the circles
- I associate with....do you know the religion I practice.....
-
- NO!....you don't!
-
- Now you are the one making assumptions.....
-
-
- : I can understand your frustration
-
- No you don't...you don't know anything about me....
-
- You don't know what it is to be spit upon because your white and then spit
- upon because your a "nigger lover" (any other race can be substituted...I've
- heard them all).
-
- More assumptions Acee.....
-
-
- : and the need to express your emotions, but please do it in a way as
- : not to contradict yourself.
-
-
- Before you start instructing me perhaps you should take a long hard look
- at yourself first.....I have (at myself)....not only is it uncomfortable,
- but it also quite enlightening.....
-
- I challenge thee......
