You still fail to grasp exactly why I started this thread?
Doesn't surprise me. As we have seen so far, some people will never acknowledge their own guilt, even when it is shoved in their faces.
And that's why the previous threads were deleted, because the guilt got way too obvious.
Private apology is all well and good, because it doesn't take guts. Public apology? Never.
I thought at first that you were trying to be the group psychologist by putting them together in the ring and let them fight off until they get exhausted and bored. 🙂
Originally posted by lemon limeIt is my business, moron. It was mentioned in a post directed to me and it makes absolutely no sense.
What private apology are you referring to?
She said private apology... if it's private then it's none of your business.
finish your bottle and go back to sleep
If you can't contribute anything but mindless drivel, do us all a favor and lock yourself in a dark closet.

Originally posted by Tabitha MarshallThe way her message is worded it sounds like she already received her mea culpa in a private message, and was berating him for not doing so in a public arena. However, it's to her credit that she didn't post the private message here...

...to the chagrin of at least one of the trolls here, who shall remain unnamed...
...he knows who he is
Originally posted by lemon limeI am not sure how you think Suzianne would be able to post a private message that HandyAndy sent to Grampy Bobby, so I can't see what credit she should get for not doing so! 😀

As for HandyAndy's "mea culpas" about his controversial post on "Quantum Leap", he posted at least two [that I read] and did so very much 'in a public arena' on "a few months sabbatical..." and "Friendly RHP Neighbors" as anyone who read those threads will know, including Suzianne.
Originally posted by FMFI went back to look and sure enough, she was talking to Hand of Andy. I thought she was talking to you, but if she was talking to Handy Andy then why would he ask about a private message that he had sent?

By the way, it appears you and Suzi are actually on the same page when it comes to abiding by politically correct opinions.

Oh crap, I never could understand these stupid online soap operas....
Chapter One:
FMF and Suzi were not as many believed a perfect match. On the one hand they both agreed with everything they were supposed to agree on, but beneath the surface Suzi was unsatisfied with Mr. Fs' devotion and attention to himself, and longed for the days when...
... meanwhile, lurking in the shadows was Mr Hand, his thin snaky lips quivering with near porno excitement while he awaited the arrival of information he could use to... to do... to do whatever it was he was planning on...
darn it, I still can't find a place for him in this story
Originally posted by lemon limeI take it that HandyAndy asking Suzianne "What private apology are you referring to?" translates as 'What do you know about the contents of a private message you have not seen?'

Originally posted by FMFOkay, but if it was between GB and Andy then I still don't see how it's anyone's business. And I have a hard time believing Andy would need to ask about something he was a part of.

Originally posted by lemon limeI have my own perspectives and opinions that I have formed over the last five decades and I present and defend them here because that's what public forums on the net are for. If you choose to label them "politically correct", that's fine, of course, but it does not actually engage the perspectives and opinions in question, so it does not really affect me or what I have said.
By the way, it appears you and Suzi are actually on the same page when it comes to abiding by politically correct opinions.
For me, "political correctness" is stuff like not making fun of physically disabled people in public or not aiming derogatory sexual remarks at a politician because she is a woman ~ or indeed at any politician!
As for "abiding", I think people abide by principles; I'm not so convinced that they "abide" by "opinions"; perhaps people are "influenced" by opinions. I am sure both you and I, and Suzianne too, all have personal principles we abide by. This is how it should be.
Originally posted by FMFShe wouldn't necessarily know the contents of a private message if she knew a private message was sent. She must have see something to this effect somewhere in this big mismatched mess of words we call "Forums".

What do you mean by "in public"? I don't understand why you would need to restrain yourself from making fun of a physically disabled person. Some things are (or should be) self evident.
Originally posted by HandyAndyI don't care if you are a jerk, I just hope no one pressures you into sending me a phony apology.

Originally posted by lemon limeThe concept of "political correctness" - as far as I can make out - is not about private thoughts ~ there is no such thing as 'politics' until you have more than one person ~ but instead pertains to behaviour and interaction between people.

When I was a kid in the 60s and 70s I witnessed plenty of cases of physically disabled people being mocked cruelly on account of their disability. I think it is a good thing that this became more and more unfashionable and less and less tolerable during the 1980s and 1990s. Where I live now there are still people who do stuff like mock Downes syndrome children in public or talk openly about Papuans [dark skinned Melanesians from the eastern part of the country] as being "monkeys" and "swinging from the trees". To my sensibilities, these are indecent remarks. Indeed, it seems to me that most of what is covered by the term "political correctness" is just straight forward common decency.
However, where "political correctness" is wielded as a way of actually curtailing free speech, which often seems to be the case in American society and political culture, I do not support it.
