I have no idea why you quoted me, I just guessed

I know.

glad we agree, Burto

Listen, Harmless, your hypocrisy is through the roof. If you're going to be the one advocating the idea that humorous "insults" equate violence, then you should be the one to not hurl them, don't you think? Unless you're actually trying to be violent. What if his mom is actually dead? Do you know? How hurtful might that actually be?

if I find any of that is true, I will take accountability and apologise, as Chris should have done

I don't think harmless is opposed to violence so long as it serves the enforcement of the "correct" worldview on the world. It's that puritanical, anglo imperialist, Christian missionary ethos she can't escape.

Would you say it would be more reasonable for you to have the right to be afforded the opportunity to make amends before spike smacks you in the face?

it's worth saying though, Tree, that by your logic, it doesn't matter about spike's feelings

I don't know, I'm just asking questions and figuring out what words mean

No.. you're just being harmful and difficult, and you're mocking me, which is pretty childish, I must say.

that's just decorum, I don't care; nobody wants a smack in the face but if spike is truly hurt by what I've said, what I feel about it ceases to matter

This is a logical fallacy. Again, I'm reminded of Charlie Hebdo. Do you think because people feel offended, pained that their god has been mocked, they are right to murder, if they feel justified in doing so? Surely a god is more important to someone than their cheating, skanky wife.

We need laws because your feelings don't trump someone's right to not be physically attacked.

"I'm sorry IF you were offended."

This "apology" infuriates me more than the initial offense. Ive been the receiver of this plenty before and it just leads to more harmful behavior. Ugh. Im sure i've said that as well. I always am very careful about the word choice in an apology.

I'm not here to defend anyone. But you have to see the difference between the joke in that video and what Chris Rock said. If you can't, then it's clearly willful and I'm not sure what you're after.
