Heh. Since loin invoked Panda ****ers,I'm going to break my boycott to say something I think needs sayin' about Kidicious - I'm no different than most of you in my opinion of many of his views, especially on women, but the next guy being wrong ain't my problem, folks. I know I deserve to be kicked off the innernets for taking that sensible view (among other things), but I'm trying to grow up.
I think Kid sincerely is, too - and I never had any unpleasantness with him at all last year, even though we met when he saw that I'd posted a hitlered version of his avatar. He's capable of being a good sport, to his credit. I've even been able to discuss women and his attitude towards with him more than once, and didn't walk away felling like we'd wasted our time, for all that neither managed to influence the other.
It's all in the approach, is what I'm saying. Kid don't hold out for immaculate courtesy as long as you aren't all hostile/attacking with the name-calling and such. He's not a lot different from the rest of us in tending to give back whatever attitude is thrown. I gave him a chance, and I think I was rewarded, for all that I never pretended that I didn't think he was profoundly wrong about some important stuff. We get along without agreeing, and again, that's after I hitlered his avatar before we make acquaintance.
When I saw his Truce thread, I just had to PM him with encouragement. I wasn't polite in discussing some obvious shortcomings, but I wasn't hostile either, and it was all cool. I really do believe that's he's made a mature and sincere decision to cut way back on the poo-slinging and make a little peace, and I hope everyone will judge him by his current behavior, not the excesses of the past. He's trying and deserves a shot.
Kid, Aeson explained his reasoning very clearly - Ben said that While Ben, and given the givens, I really, honestly think it's a fair cop - though I would have already perma'd Ben before, myself, I support Aeson on this, completely. When, as they used to say on Hill Street Blues, someone is a proven "wrong person", they get "no rhythm". Under your current improved mode of behavior, you're not in a lot of danger, I think, FWIW.
I should post Innocent Teddy for good measure on my way out; maybe I'll do another drive-by in another year or so.

Since he was on my ignore list... I'm guessing this just means less grey bars across my screen.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Originally posted by Buster's Uncle View PostI have friends here, ken. I was mostly just trying to keep up with Lori's deal at first - and I, y'know, own a place and forum-running stuff is crack to me because I need to think about it a lot, so I was reading more than usual when the mess about possible policy change came up recently.
