Just another random act of violence

This thread is a train wreck.

In the context of how it was asked, BB was being confrontational.

I'm not defending BS- he could have deflected the unnecessary question more gracefully.

I cannot recall another time on this forum where things have become so personal for so many.

I wasn't trying to be confrontational with me asking. I wanted to know. I asked him last summer the same question and he/she danced around it. I just don't understand why me asking someone about their religion turns into me wanting to have certain members wear yellow stars. Why would I apologize to him/her in a thread if all I wanted to do was be confrontational with BS? But it's all good. I'm ok with him/her not answering, but don't come on here and insult me or a religion with a fucked up statement or post labeling someone an anti-Semite. Because that's what BS is doing.

This very well may be true, but trust me when I say it read like conflict.

It's troubling to see the open tensions between many members on this forum. It's become a bit of a place for drama and less a place for heightened discussion.

Maybe it has always been like this and I've only observed it recently? Maybe I am contributing to the personal tensions in some capacity? Maybe I should just shut up?

Regardless, the sun is shining brightly today and I have to get outside. Have a good one.

Did anyone hear about the mosque that burned down yesterday? Or the fireman who tweeted,"let it burn down." I'm not gonna let one asshole fireman ruin the way I look at fireman.

What a fucking stupid fireman. I mean, the sentiment is sickening obviously, but I'm also struck by how idiotic he must be to actually tweet that and not consider the consequences.

My guess it he loses his job if he uses him real name on the Twitter account. You CANT say that shit publicly.

I agree. You can't call people names publicly.
Especially if you don't want to be questioned publicly.
Nice post Mr. Exit.

I am really getting sick of this shit. Seriously. Stop it. No one cares.

I think a couple people need to cool down. Check your emotions - scream them out loud or whatever before you post. And then watch what you're saying. I'm not very sensitive to this shit, and even i am a bit distressed to see the kinds of accusations being unjustifiably flung back and forth over the fence here. I feel like there has been a real overreaction.

Its -2 out here in my parts...time for a hike with the doggies! Fajitas tonight! Owwww yeah!

Badbrains, FWIW, I enjoy your posts and you have always called it like you feel it, I respect that! I will say though, that it seems since the slaughter in Palestine this summer and the banning of one of our best contributors, ypu have taken a harder, less "diplomatic" tone. I know that every few years the bullshit of humanity (and our motherbitch of a nation in particular) stack up and throw me into a pervasive pessimism. It helps me to remember that no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead!

BB I know we were both at the Cincy show, and maybe a few Euro shows this summer? You hit Amsterdam didn't you? Did you hit Milan, Trieste, or Vienna? When they go on tour again we train contributors need to make a concerted effort to get together, break bread, and share a buzz!!

Ya RGambs I was at cincy and both Amsterdam shows last summer. And I will most def 100% make an effort to see you on the next tour. I got first buzz for us. And if it's in NYC, my treat for some pizza or katz's deli.

Well-said. And I'm not looking for that whole "I'd love to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony" thing. Just a need to breathe and release and....well, for lack of a better term, kiss the sky (or get kissed by it).

I started this thread with a link to the shootings in Copenhagen. Badbrains very first reaction was to pounce on me declaring that I said nothing about his North Carolina thread and that I should tell him my religion as if the two issues are linked.

Well...I did comment on the North Carolina thread. I called those murders a hate crime. Bad Brains was wrong. He jumped the gun and implied a religious connection to a perceived injustice in his head.

Why did he do that? Why was the status of my religion the first thing that came to his mind when I made this post? There was a silent insinuation in his initial line of questioning that just doesn't sit right with me at all. It shouldn't sit well with any of you whether you are religious or secular. The "yellow star" imaging might seem a little troubling but we now have a self-described "Troll Hunter" marching around these boards casting aspersions and bullying those he disagrees with to state their faith. I think his line of questioning with respect to religion is completely out of line and I will not sit silently while he harrasess other members. This has got to stop. As anyone out there who was forced to wear the yellow star will tell you it is that "silence" of those around them that they found to be the most offensive. I will not be silent on this.

Yes, you did point out that BB was incorrect, and he apologized.

As for the "yellow star" comment: for me, it is more than "a little troubling." And to try to compare a simple question to that atrocity is offensive and disgusting. Why was BB asking the question? I won't try to speak for him, but maybe he was asking to understand where you are coming from with regards to some of your posts (this is just a guess on my part). Isn't that what we should strive to do: understand?

I am sorry if you are offended SD48277 but his question did not come from a place of simple understanding. He has previously written on here that he can't stand me. On other threads he has accused me of being inserted on to this message board as some sort of agent of a foreign government and/or lobbying group even though I have been a paid fan club member since 1999. He has countless times accused me of spreading hate without ever detailing a single instance and now I am fear monger. As other people have written this has got to stop. Enough.

Sucks when good threads gets closed. Also sucks when active members get banned especially when they have unique perspective and really like perspectives that counter mine 180 degrees. Why I don't lay into Some cause I need their views and know they are likely good people.

I so miss couple posters, who happen to have been on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Peace.

You basically called me an anti-Semite and now you want to stop? Should've flagged you but I'm all for free speech. Your comment backfired on you. You thought people would "join" your side on this matter, And come out calling me anti-Semitic? Well, how'd that work out for you? And funny, I fuck up and I apologize to you in CAPITAL CAPS, yet you call me an anti-Semite, which I'm NOT, and refuse to even retract. No problem, u can have any views or opinions you want about me. But don't expect me to stay "silent" as you like to say. You think the others saying to stop is directed just at me? You don't think they're talking to you as well? Ya, I'll stop, when you stop with your BS.
