"Spiritual Correctness"

[Splash]

just briefly, I'm not trying to "turn this thread into a discussion re gender roles"...

I wanted to say (and did) that comparing spiritual correctness and political correctness is (to me) a "false equivalency"


what this means is that I'm saying they aren't comparable...

I have the right to reply with that as the original OP refers to them both.

I briefly mention the difference in the 2 (as I perceive it).. which necessitated mention of privilege (the most clear example of which being that of whites and males.)

That's how gender came into it.

That's all.

Splash, I think that those of us here on Bring 4th are really getting tired of the fact that you're always trying to debate people, line for line, on points that are not really even controversial. I thought that Plenum posted a very interesting OP that, if you read between the lines, didn't really have anything to do with political correctness. It just seems strange that, no matter what anybody posts, you always have to go into "debate mode."

It also bothers me that you're trying to open up a line of debate with Plenum of all people. Are you trying to imply that Plen is in any way insensitive about anything? It's just so absolutely asinine at this point. It just seems like you have some type of cookie-cutter, activist agenda with everything that everybody posts. You need to learn to adapt to the mode of the conversation.

"Splash, I think that those of us here on Bring 4th are really getting tired of the fact that you're..."

Did you take a poll? Is there some meeting area where you and dozens of other people convened to conclude this?

"...that you're always trying to debate people, line for line, on points that are not really even controversial."

"always?"  NO - not "always"  - but even if I am - SO WHAT? it's a really effective way of responding to peoples posts, it shows my effort, commitment and interest in what a person is saying, my interest in directly addressing their ideas.

It can be a bit time consuming, but it's what I sometimes do -and certainly better than "skimming" peoples posts and then replying from an inaccurate or only partial understanding of what they've written.
You don't like my attention to detail? - put me on ignore mode.

"I thought that Plenum posted a very interesting OP that, if you read between the lines, didn't really have anything to do with political correctness."

Ummm NO - Plenum directly mentions "political correctness" in his OP - AND EQUATES IT WITH SPIRITUAL CORRECTNESS.

"It just seems strange that, no matter what anybody posts, you always have to go into "debate mode.".."

NO not "always" and even if I did.. SO WHAT? - ignore me if you want - because you don't have the right to try to stop me expressing myself.

"It also bothers me that you're trying to open up a line of debate with Plenum of all people.

WHAT? I can't give a reply to another forum members post because they are also a moderator?

Are you trying to imply that Plen is in any way insensitive about anything?"
NO... but if he was - I would say it outright.. not "imply"... (I didn't know we had a 'Plenum Is Infallible Fanclub' here at Bring4 - 0_0)  

"It's just so absolutely asinine at this point. It just seems like you have some type of cookie-cutter, activist agenda with everything that everybody posts. You need to learn to adapt to the mode of the conversation.

"Asinine" = "extremely stupid or utterly foolish" (Merriam-Webster) - saying this about me is a breach of forum rules Lighthead.

"cookie-cutter, activist agenda" nope... I have decades of learning and experience in environmental protection and animal and human rights issues, but I DISCERN what I feel is right and fair and form my OWN ideas, no one group or political movement speaks for me or dictates my thinking.

I'm expressing my ideas and perspectives - which you disagree with - so you label them as "cookie-cutter, activist agenda" - yet - you have your own "agenda" as you are clearly showing ... to either modify my posts or silence me... NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

"with everything that everyone posts" NOPE there are hundreds of OP's and threads and replies that I have nothing to do with -and if I decide to express myself on hundreds of threads... that's my prerogative...

"You need to learn to adapt to the mode of the conversation"...  

aahhh... Lighthead - you need to stop being arrogant by calling me "asinine" and telling me what to do and how to express myself...
