RE: We Need To Talk, Steemit.
Whatever point it is that you wanted to make here, you completely defeated with the use of the words 'slum nigger' which I find far more offensive than any number of f bombs he may have dropped. It seems what you were really asking him to do was present himself as someone he is not, which considering what he was trying to bring across was for people to do things for genuine reasons-- personally I would not have had more respect for him if he'd put on a big show of pretense.
This meme couldn't be farther from the truth. He and I have had our share of differences in opinion, and I don't think I know anyone who will concede a fair point or apologize when he sees that he's wrong quicker than this man.
Actually the fact that I'm on this post at all is a testament to his character as I tend to stay far, far away from large disputes on this platform. I like peace, not making waves.
If I, the person who he was attempting to offend, am not offended, then there is entirely no need for you to be. Don't let him get you upset about this. I'm guessing, he would see that as a win.
This man deserves your sympathy, not your hate.
I generally don't get offended by the things people say to me either, but I do tend to bristle where my friends are concerned--as you know.
I don't hate him, jeeze that would be a bit overdone. I suppose there could be a situation in which I might hate someone, but it hasn't happened yet. It would take something very, very big. I like to save that strength of emotion for the positive ones like love and joy ;)
I thought you seemed pretty pissed. My apologies. I don't need anyone to defend to me, but I won't complain about it, because I am sure I would do the same regardless of whether you wanted me to or not.
So... thanks.
