I think I'm more pedantic than pompous."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.

You are taking this too seriously. Of course the impact attributed specifically to you would be tiny/negligible. But this is a very real phenomenon.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostI don't care about sympathy, I'm just Mac talking to Jeff here. The groundlings can keep casting aspersions and confirming their obtuseness. I actually care about your opinion which is why I responded; yes, I get what you're saying, but I think a mob has to have a locus, like facebook or twitter or somewhere that something can trend. I stayed off those sites to talk this about precisely so that I wouldn't be inflammatory to those who are easily inflamed. People here think differently and deeper about stuff, so I purposefully didn't add my voice to the masses, yet you accused me of doing so anyway, which I take exception to and whose logic I consider facile."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

You might consider our evening program. We have a grade-forgiveness policy for people who flunked out of college when they were young.Originally posted by cougjunkie View PostSounds like I would fit in well at Coker College!"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

Too seriously? You accused me of lynching someone by contributing to his loss of livelihood. Like pelagius' accusation of lechery, I'm not going to just ignore something like that, or agree with it. I take some things very seriously, and this is one of them. Sure it's a real phenomenon, but to suggest that my postings here constitute even a minuscule part of that is, here it comes again, facile.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostYou are taking this too seriously.

Mister Wuap, I see that your noble sense of southern honor has been besmirched. In order to settle this like gentlemen, I hereby challenge you to a duel. I choose YOhio as my second.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostToo seriously? You accused me of lynching someone by contributing to his loss of livelihood.

Choose your weapon, sir.

It's been a week. Is OK now to say that I'm glad this asshole got fired? If Lebowski accuses me of being party to a lynch mob, my feelings would be really hurt.Originally posted by Soccermom View PostBreaking news: The officer was fired. SMH. Yay, a win for defiant high school kids across the nation. Act up all you want. Nothing can be done to you. You can even get adults fired if you do your best defiant work!You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay

I generally presume the same thing. It's comforting.Originally posted by Walter Sobchak View PostI'll presume that most decent people agree with me. Phew!"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

"Big Club" > "Lynch Mob". You have dialed back the rhetoric some at least. Thank you. Perhaps the hubris next?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI generally presume the same thing.

So are you mad that they didn't invite you or that you did get to watch? On second thought, i don't want to know.
that only works if you wait a week to fire him.
