i don't think I've done this much at all. I piped up with Rick and Simmo cause i like em both and I thought Rick had just got the wrong end of the stick. Until my calling you on the rape 'joke' I don't recall wringing my hands over the insulting. misquoting maybe - but not insulting.

big_dave wrote:Oh Earwicker, aren't we all so cruel and against free speech?

No, just you. In the last couple of days you've complained about Rick giving his opinion in a thread and asked a girl how she would prefer to be raped. In my little black book of 'cruel' making rape jokes to girls is in the first couple of pages.

Again I don't recall doing this. I've called you on the misquoting and jumped in if I thought you were being a hypocrite (which you frequently are) but the insults don't bother me - at least until that one.

which you don't seem to mind.

Yeah, but Dave you see most of that is funny.

Again, there's a line for me. Just a while ago you were teamed up with HappyandBored who got upset cause of Rick suggesting some depressive cases are just lazy and that might push some folks to self harm (I believe you were in on all that).
You just asked a girl how she'd like to be raped!
For me those two things come on different sides of my newly discovered line - but then maybe I just had a peculiar upbringing or something.

Enough anyway, I am going to ignore you for the time being.

I just think if you have some decency you'll PM Nina and apologise for what you said above. But do what you like. For all I know she might have found it hilarious.
She might not even be a she.

If you're trying to make a point about the way Rick singles out one sentence in peoples' posts that usually has nothing to do with the facts they present, then you did a piss poor job of it.
If that's not what you're trying to convey, then I'm at a loss as to what you're referring to.
Seriously, your original remark was pretty much distasteful, but willing to overlook.
You remark to Nina was above and beyond uncalled for.

I haven't teamed up with anyone, except if you count rick's descriptions of the events.

For fucks sake, this has got nothing to do with you. What makes you think you can demand how people act in front of you on the internet? It's quite obvious that my post was in reference to two previous posts, and I think if Nina think's that I'm full of shit then she'll know better than to be offended. Although, like you, she seems to have the habit of getting offended on behalf of others, even if she isn't remotely such a pompous blowhard about it.

The joke:

"Are still an incredible racist?"
"Do you still beat your wife?"
"Do you prefer to rape a girl from the front or the back?"

The joke is that whatever answer you can give, you're saying something bad. Rick asked me "Why do you like to troll so much?", I thought it was in reference to Earwicker's mention of that joke in a previous thread and I responded with a version of it myself.

Nina tells me to fuck off, I respond with a tweaked version of what I posted to Rick. After all, she said "fuck off" and "utter piece of shit", which tends to be the glove-off signal whatever the genital configuration of the combatant. You see, whatever way she answers, it's gonna sound like she likes being raped! What a thigh slapper! Where's the link to the Benny Hill chase?

Nothing too personal or shocking there, unless you grew up in a convent.

Nina, if you have recently been raped or had someone you care about raped, I apologise for being insensitive. Otherwise, fuck you if you can't take a (lame) joke (on the internet).

Now I realise that perhaps I rolled with the wrong crowd in high school and university.

Is the rape joke the EAF equivalent of saying "keep your fork, there's gonna be pie"?

That's great. And how about the rest of us who've had friends, and hell, even FAMILY raped?

You shouldn't even try to justify yourself at this point. Nobody should be raped, period, or have it implied that they'd like to be raped. Not even you.

How do you know that I'm not being raped this very minute? Kindly be less offensive

Dude, just give it up.
Unless Ron Paul changes his first name to rape or there's some sort of incident involving RuPaul, Michael Jackson, and the cast of "Facts Of Life", your joke is not gonna be funny.

It's not my joke, and I'd be happier if it never went beyond one post.

Cute. You had a chance to do the decent thing, and you refused in the most childish way you could. I shouldn't have even wasted my breath.

I suppose I'm wasting it again, but just one more time. You never answered my question: are you going to apologize to anyone else here for what you wrote?

I'm willing to bet there are more than a few of us here with some personal experience with rape, and we've seen its effects, on ourselves and our loved one's. How you're behaving implies that you've never had this sort of shit enter into your life, to be so callous about this. Count yourself lucky, if it's so.
