Re: Kanye West
I guess I owe Verm an apology. I'm sorry, buddy. I didn't mean to piss you off. I just think this whole Kanye/Swift thing is absurd and I wanted to express that.
I don't think I was being obsinate because never at any point did someone offer a counter argument or attempt to persuade me toward a different opinion.
Perahaps you found my posts obnoxious. But if I was obnoxious its because I felt undermined, dismissed out of hand, and then attacked for no reason. Again, my apologies. Perhaps I misread others' posts to me. And/or others misread my initial post.
At the end of the day, I really don't care about any of this. So, I suppose I didn't need to speak up at all about it. I just kept seeing people blast Taylor Swift and take so much joy in this perceived "GOTCHA!" moment that isn't a gotcha moment at all. And that's a bit disgusting to me. Taking that much joy in someone else's "embarassment" and frankly deserved outrage is so fucking icky. I was tired of seeing that all over social media so I came her to post one little comment about it.
And here we are.
Sorry to all I may have offended.

Re: Kanye West
It really doesn't feel like he has lost. Read the post again. He apologized for pissing off LV, but he still defending his posts, pov, and requesting feedback from the opposition. Smart move, actually.

That actually makes sense. I sometimes take the internet far more seriously than most. Usually I'm wanting to have an actual conversation about things and I should get it through my head that most others just aren't as interested in that.
This was a good reminder. Thanks, Burt. I appreciate your canor.

Re: Kanye West
I really wish I had something to actually add to this conversation instead of just being part of the peanut gallery.
I just dont care about kanye and i find LV's relentless love for him admirable and sickening. I can relate to it because I love Eddie Vedder 4ever

Re: Kanye West
I appreciate the humor in this. On multiple levels, actually. But in the spirit of everything else that's happened today, is it too much for me to ask that we quit with the "Joey is a racist" schtick. And I shouldn't bother, I'm sure this is gonna bite me on the ass, but that whole thing kinda bothers me, it isn't funny, and it would be cool if we could just knock it off.BurtReynolds wrote:Sexists 1.
