I'm finding it hard to know where to begin. Lets start off with your attempt to dismiss your own comment as you apparently trolling. I had not yet come across somebody attempting to distance themselves from what they wrote by labelling themselves as a troll. How convinent for you. I suppose that if I per chance wanted to distance myself from my own comments, (which I won't as I'm not a coward), then I could do the same?

I didn't single you out, there were many to pick from, yours fell under my attention because you were good enough to label it in point form which made my job easier. You say it was selective editing.

Which part that I left out would you like me to include - the part where what I write makes you feel so dirty that you need to take a shower, the part where you say my attitudes disgust you but you like to make gross generalisations where they come from, or the bit where you congratulate everybody on calling me out and preach how femisnism supposedly effects all our lives? If you are impling that by me selctively editing then I robbed you of some good point that you made then I am at a loss. Particularly when apprently all this was a bunch of trolling on your part, which means that you are complaining that I left out parts of a trolling diatribe.

You then go on to blame your own assumption making process on ...me. Because apparently I do it. Again, how convienent for you. I didn't assume you were male of female, I used the he form as a backup against referring to you in the third person as an 'it'. I fail to see how I am supposed to guess at someones gender from the name 'Brangwen'. You will notice that I use my name'Adam' as a convienent way for people to know my gender if they so desire.

You puposely assumed that I was from Sydney so that you could link your UN article, so please don't play all coy about it now. And frankly, when I read something like;

"... we as Australians are racist and sexist ...", two things come to mind. The first is, speak for yourself thank you very much. The second is, somebody who is accusing me of being a bigot is admiting that they are a racist and sexist. I'm once again somewhat at a loss for words here. Your accusation of me being far into my white male privlige was also a classic case of being a bigot. I dare you, I openly challenge you to go back through my posts from whence this all began and find one example, just one single example of me making a bigoted statement like the ones that you have made here. I can tell you right now that there are none. So don't wrap me up in your own guilt trips.

My freedom to respond or not is my own. I was using your comment as an example, not as a personal attack.

You accuse me of assuming that people know how to recognise sarcasm when you yourself said that you were applying mimicry and parody, (and badly I might add). You shrug away your point a with the odious explanation that everyone else did it so I can too.

And then at the end you agree that critical thinking is important. My dear, you have me at a loss.

regards,

Adam.

My recent post The Blog List

Awesome stuff. I posted on my blog about doing this but got the big meh. Hopefully you can get it off the ground. And count me in. One thing, are we going to go by our blogging names so it's easier to know who is who? Or will we just add a guild not to our toon?
