Here's a hint -- someone's in a bit of a jam for obviously throwing it to someone else, thus tipping his hand.

Sorry, I missed Sunday's episode due to heavy drinking and general debauchery. I caught part of it online yesterday, but only up until Janey won HOH.

What did I miss?

I am very sensitive to other people's issues with how they are labeled. That is true. I am also sensitive to how words are used in a derogatory way when describing someone. And I may be wrong on this one. However, you have not outlined a reason, other than someone told you not to do it, that is convincing to me. I don't always agree with people when they tell me a term is offensive. I'm sure I do more than others, but I disagree with you on this one.

Why? You cited the definition. It relates to people who have diagnosable development disorders. Not psychological disorders, which are somewhat subjective, but actual development disorders which are characterised by tangible and/or empirical markers. Notwithstanding any other difference of opinion between us and any other deragatory term you want to use to describe me, I think you know that I don't have the empirical markers which would amount to a categorisation of "mentally retarded". I offered the example of one person, who had a developmentally delayed child who relayed her perception of the word's offensiveness to parents of and children who are afflicted with such reality. My understanding, although not scientfiically tested by me, that this is a common sensitivity amongst parents of developmentally delayed children, educators involved in that field and others who have an interest in being sensitive to others in their community. I said and maintain, that I stopped using the word, in any context (except our conversation here), not because the woman/parent inquestion is sitting on my shoulder monitoring me, but because I realised after she pointed it out to me that perpetuating the common/slang use of the word as a casual pejorative is insulting to those people actually affected by the reality of being developmentally delayed.

Why you want to argue that its still a good word to use or maybe people aren't sensitive I don't know. Maybe someday you wil have a developmentally delayed kid and someone will use the word to that child and you will feel differently. but then again that will be anecotal and not really representative of anything broad based or generally applicable.

Also, you might want to ask yourself why you so frequently get tagged with that particular common misperception you mentioned.

If I got tagged with the categorisations irl I might be worried, but I am comfortable that while I may have arseholic thoughts from time to time, I am much beloved. Too much beloved in fact. I need less adoration but I people still flock to me. Like flies to shit.

Awwww. I see now. If you wanted me to say that you are not an insensitive asshole, why didn't you just say so? You didn't have to go through all of this. And it's "hypocrisy," retard.

I know asshole, its my personal homage to posters who are no more.

That about sums it up right there.

My sentiment was no different than yours re: the subjectivity of what is worthy to post or not (eg: you don't care if I don't like yoiur sports posts, I don't care if you dont like my k posts). for every dissenter such as yourself, I have a comrade in socks, such as ppnyc.

Just moving the post count along here in order to get to the next thread title -- something I'm going to do several times a day with inane posts about nothing.

In other words, what I normally do. Only now, there's a specific goal in mind.

What if I win again?

We'll accuse you of doping, and suspend you. And don't blame the merlot.

I just knew that one or both of the girls at gofugyourself was/were too funny to be just plain American. So I emailed them asking whether or not they are Canadian. Well, it turns out I was right (almost). They are both American, but one of them spent most of her formative years in Canada. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I totally called this!! You and I discussed it, even.


PLEASE SHARE CREDIT WITH ME! I'M STARVED FOR ATTENTION!

Oh, and ppnyc -- there's just no way you posted gofugyourself first. I don't know who did, but it wasn't you. Years ago, there was a long discussion about the t-shirts they sell. The one I have is a couple years old, so it was a while ago.

Not that your efforts are unappreciated, of course, we all love the fuggers.

Do you have an axe to grind over the Cat 2 comment? Frankly I thought it was a compliment, I didn't know how good you really were........

OK I agree in view of those facts that I prob was not the first one to post them/the site. I am possessive of them since they are funny as shit....

I am glad you didn't retire. Not glad enough to change the title, or even glad enough to give you a platonic foot massage but glad. I'd buy you a domestic beer.

This is true. For some reason I had completely taken credit for it in my head, and now I remember our conversation. Damn.

I think it was my internet girlfriend who first got me onto gofugyourself.

Yeah, I make a joke, go away for awhile and all of a sudden everyone hates you. Luckily, I hated you way before you named the title, so nothing has changed.

Are you ready to get virtually steamed Cleveland-style in Boston?*
