Tuna is not so bad, it kind of tastes like dolphin.

I'm not sure I see how one's better than the other, but whatevs.

He's not saying one's better than the other.

Actually, Dirt's was MUCH better, but doesn't belong in this thread. On the other hand, racist comments kind of go hand in hand with a thread about a man who fought about racial inequality.
See the difference?

One is a personal direct attack.
IF the other guy had said:
"I hate niggers like YOU! YOU, gunny, are just like every OTHER black person - WORTHLESS!"
That'd be a personal attack.
Get it?

You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

Yes. I know that one is a personal statement and the other is a general statement. Obviously.
I don't see why the general statement slides on by but the personal statement gets so many people so upset.
If someone here was a member of the group that H.L. was generalizing about, they'd probably be just as insulted as the individual that Dirt was making fun of

Classless...Tasteless and totally disgusting...I used MLK basher in the same manner as I did with Bush basher. And I did it jokingly. I find it funny that your panties are in a bunch right now. Ah poor little Gunny. What's the matter, did I hurt your hyper-sensitive feelings? Is your pussy hurting you? Does our little Gunny need to rub some pussy cream on her sore vagina?
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

If you can't see how a direct, personal attack from one user to another is 'over the line', after those here have tried, then I doubt ANYONE would be able to explain it to your satisfaction.

So what if I was a black person and took HL's comment personally?
Or are you just not capable of grasping what I'm saying here?
