You are not doing a particularly good job of demonstrating your lack of sensitivity. By the way, I had no idea whether you are male or female and actually had assumed you were male. Had I known you were female, I would have told you to shut up and make me a sandwich (joking, joking, joking, I swear I am joking). A need to be calm and less sensitive is not something that I attribute to one sex over the other. Members of both sexes can stand to do both.

"Butthurt" poster here. Way to dig yourself in, Jeff! You found several more ways, in several new sentences, to keep telling her to "calm down." Meanwhile you're not exactly ignoring her, instead you keep coming back to argue your side and to tell her to calm down again. I've been there: it's passive aggressive, it can be intimidating when it comes from the moderator, but most of all, it was uncalled for the first time you said it.

Ironic that you are posting this in a thread in which the right to be offensive is being so strongly defended. I was using humor. Doesn't that make it okay?

Telling her that she isn't helping her case, and wrapping up with some more stuff about calming down, is humor? Well you learn something every day! Or, you're being passive aggressive. I'll give you this:  there was humor sandwiched in the middle.

Yes, it's ironic. Or maybe not. I guess I feel like you have, in the past, unfairly challenged my right to question some of Muslima's more dodgy statements. While Muslima brings a new perspective, sometimes she's full of it, whether she's your pet or not. No, you never banned me or kicked me off DCUM. But I interpreted the moderator's challenge to my right to speak my mind (and to challenge Muslima's more egregious claims) as a form of aggression. No kidding, and I've seen other DCUM users say similar things. People who get slammed by you wonder if they're going to be the next person you out, like that thrift shop owner or the GMU student.

Now maybe we can move on. Perhaps you can address my earlier post asking why you said Muslima's quote made a good point - but you ignored one of its key themes, which is that the journalists should have been smart enough to cave in to threats of violence. And whether the point of the cartoons was not to deliberately insult people, but rather to defy those who are threatening violence.[/quote]

NP. I get that some posters get very upset by Jeff's postings.

From an outside perspective, the pp looked either oversensitive or a jerk. [/quote]
