I think I see the difference. Attacking others is okay, as long as it's not profane or inappropriate?

Maybe we should start a thread about how to communicate in a way that is effective, without being violent toward others. Move in that direction anyway.

At this point, samiyam, you can say anything/do anything, you are the Bean King! Alas, I wish my appreciation for you was unconditional, but KEEP WRITING YOUR STORY and stop wasting your precious writing skills wrangling with g@#ddamn f#$ktards!

angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient

machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high
sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of
cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities
contemplating jazz,
who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and
saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tene-

who passed through universities with radiant cool
eyes hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy

who were expelled from the academies for crazy &

who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burn-

to the Terror through the wall,
who got busted in their pubic beards returning through
Laredo with a belt of marijuana for New York,
who ate fire in paint hotels or drank turpentine in
Paradise Alley, death, or purgatoried their torsos night after night
with dreams, with drugs, with waking nightmares, al-

incomparable blind; streets of shuddering cloud and...

Well, maybe Oscar said it first, but I read it in a collection of conversations with Winston Churchill...  sorry for being a bit uncouth.

Maybe we should take this over to "talks behind their backs" forum...

"You know Beaker was once a juggling clown but I hear lately he's forgotten how to juggle."

Maybe then we'd get a laugh and people would calm down.

This is correct, and Beaker has castigated me for trying to publicly analyze his posts to get to his why's and motivations. I was wrong then and it's wrong now. That being said, if someone pushes your buttons to such a degree that you're reading racism/sexism/etc into his/her posts where none exists, it's a good idea to step back and not let it produce such a response in you. I wish Beaker's style weren't so provocative but it's finely-tuned at being just that: a provocation. It's up to the target to not be provoked, sometimes.

We've crossed swords, sure. We've also shared some of our life (travel, pets, music music music) outside of this forum and I look forward to the day we can have a pint and watch some live music.


 
Offense is always taken, never given.

We are not discussing a public figure, we are talking about a fellow RPeep and whether or not you like him or not, this should be a discussion in private, not in a public forum.
