Prejudice in science fiction
I know I said I was done with this thread, but I’ve been lured back here. I guess I’m lacking in will power. [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

What you said to me, Lee, was the most supremely arrogant and insulting statement I’ve ever had to endure from anyone. And the most maddening thing is that you don’t care. You have no empathy for anyone else’s feelings. And then you had the gall to wonder why I’m no longer nice to you, started whining about your hurt feelings, and then demanded an apology. So I gave you one.But after what you said, I’ve completely lost all respect for you, Lee, and it will [i]never[/i] return. When I first came here, [i]I did not listen to the arguements of Aleck or anyone else[/i] because I [i]always[/i] give people the benefit of the doubt. But now every time [i]you[/i] start some arguement on this bulletin board, I will quote what you said to me. [i][b]I will always remind you.[/b][/i] [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img]
Well I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. I wasn’t trying to be offensive, and that statement wasn’t just to you. And you shouldn’t hold a grudge like that. I mean, there are people here who have angered me in the past, but I’m still nice to them. I can think of someone on this board who used to really get on my nerves, but I now enjoy talking to.
And I certainly care about other people’s feelings. Don’t think for a second that I don’t. It’s not like I’m ever [i]trying[/i] to offend anyone, people just respond negatively to some of my posts on a seemingly random basis. And I don’t [i]start[/i] arguments. If you don’t like me mentioning things about my personal life/feelings, just tell me and I’ll knock it off.
I really don’t think I’m arrogant, since the only people who have ever said I was were confined to a single message board. I think I’m a pretty modest and compassionate individual. I don’t want you (or anyone else) to be mad at me, Flamegrape. [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]
