Anybody that uses the term "microaggressions" needs to turn their man card in.

I remember an administrator at the University of North Carolina who said it's a "microaggression" to ask a person if they play golf.

ahhh, my MAN card ... implying I am not masculine or brave enough to endure harsh conversation. I don't remember anyone questioning my bravery or man-ness while calibrating AN-PDR 56 radiacs under sniper fire in a desert hut in Iraq. But when I call out the countless instances of inflated stereotypical bullsh!t so many of you have constructed your personal narratives around I am suddenly a snowflake? you don't deserve my ire, only my pity. and you have it.

Oh the drama

 

[coolm]

Oh the drama

you shift every discussion to some other topic or level that fits your comfort zone more. why don't you just address the issues at hand instead of being shifty? if there's any cowardice in the thread it lies right there.

I’m happy to discuss whatever you want

that's not been your history so far. instead of talking about the topic you resort to personal barbs or take pot shots from the audience. you consider that "happily discussing" something?

then stop making things personal and acting flippant about it when called out.

I’m sorry you felt I was flippant.

You are blaming people going about their lives as killing people

That’s seems pretty personal.

I’m sorry I asked you if you had been out to get weed. That took things too far...
Feel free to call me a murderer though for going to work

 

[SoonerBounce13]

Sorry, was that too passive aggressive?

1. personal would be "I saw you walking into your office without a mask on" or "how are you beating your kids Reyna and Johnny without exposing them to your plume of breath?" (the last personal and an aggression).

2. I understand it is hard. Harder for some than others. But to insist on exposing others who have similar motivations without taking all the precautions possible (including NOT going out) is criminal. Every bit as criminal as the drunk drivers.

3. life is a priori to the economy. I understand the CBA evaluation you et al continue to cite ... but the priority of human life must be stressed to give proper value to taking precautions in preserving it. Instead you demean it by saying "only a few people will die and it won't be me or mine so ...". That's bullsh!t in my book.

you just can't help yourself can you? you do good for a moment and then reflect, thinking you were weak, so you threw in that kicker. this is exactly why I say I pity the whole lot of you. you are so filled with your own little mythos in your narratives that they taint everything you do or say. can't get out of your own way.

"must ... save ... face ... fingers ... typing ... involuntarily ..."

Yeah I never said any of that. Nice try though

I hope you always stay in doors so you don’t give anyone the flu. A life is a life right? So I assume you make every precaution and take absolutely no risks ever

"I never said any of that":
you made it personal and admitted that you did. your entire argument is about the problems with curtailing social engagements ... and what do you think those numbers make reference to (along with your flu comments)? You said all these things.

"I hope you always stay in doors so you don’t give anyone the flu."

I most certainly do stay away from crowds and social engagements during flu season. Thats a fact. Even moreso during this.

I don't put others at risk to placate my own selfishness. That's affirmative.

 

[coolm]

Lol my goodness dude

and once again we start with the flippant minimization.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

Man take it from me, you need to step away from the internet

do you just not understand the concept of staying on point and not attacking someone personally?

"I will be happy to discuss anything" - yeah, as long as it includes personal references. stop talking about me and start talking about the arguments and the topic. I just can't make it any more clear.
