Members wades_keys Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 I wanted to publicly apologize to Hawkhuff for basically calling him a racist; I realized afterwards that I brought my own bias into the discussion and read intent into his post that was not there. Feel free to lock this thread - it's not really a discussion I'm interested in continuing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted September 23, 2008 CMS Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Good on ya, even though the wording was obscure enough to muddle his intent, it's nice to see folks take the high road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real nice....you too. Go on stir the pot. Gotta get that one more shot in, don't you. You read into it too. Something I would expect from you. Just like my previous movie quote, right?

Members WillPlay4food Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 I read it as a "baboons in the government" analogy, rather than a "black people are apes" analogy. That's what I thought as well. I mean, Hawkhuff likes to make a political post now and again, I just thought it was another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hawkhuff Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 Why you hate baboons? ? ? :poke: Actually baboons never entered my thoughts or posts. Actually they are cool beast. As are Mandrils. Actually, come to think of it, I think I actually insulted all primates when I said they were running DC (let me say again, BOTH parties ). They are much too smart for that.

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted September 23, 2008 CMS Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Real nice....you too. Go on stir the pot. Gotta get that one more shot in, don't you.You read into it too. Something I would expect from you. Just like my previous movie quote, right? You've completely misunderstood my post. 1. I was not stirring the pot. I was complimenting wades for stepping up to make a pointed apology. He had already apologized in the thread and could have left it at that. 2. I'm not even sure what you'd read as a "shot" in my post. Possibly that I think your wording was unclear as to meaning? If so, I stand by that. Enough people commented on it that it's arguably unclear. 3. I didn't "read into it"; I read it and wasn't sure what you meant or whether you were joking either way. Hence the fact that I didn't post a comment on it. If I were sure you meant in as racial slur, which would have really surprised me (I've never thought you a racist), I would have reported the post. 4. "Something you would expect of me"?? That's pretty low. I've disagreed with you plenty of times, but I've never jumped on you like MANY others here. In fact, over the years I've gone out on a limb to defend your right to express your views here when MANY were shouting you down as a troll and wasting their time. And just as now, I've been burned by you before as well. 5. What movie quote? I have no idea what you're referring to, so please explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ThudMaker Posted September 23, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 23, 2008 5. What movie quote? I have no idea what you're referring to, so please explain.Hawk's thinking of me, not you. He quoted a Mel Brooks movie that at the time I didn't think was a great idea. It seems neither here nor there and a matter of score keeping at this point. It's time to move on. Wade jumped to a conclusion and apologized. You offered encouragement that it's cool when folks can man up and admit an error and yet here we go with another round of bitchiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are referring to the right situation/thread and movie but it was Craig who called me on his own discomfort. I recall it clearly. You merely pointed out (rightly) its' origination and your discomfort with it. But, alas, I will be touted with 'not understanding my post' droan again. That's OK.
