I’ve never before gone to SL for laughs that didn’t involve the Nitwits, but this one is beautiful. Qusoor, Very Unseemly, and a couple of others outwit him 10:1. Enjoy.

Aww.. I see that, after posting his wall-o-text, he decided to take his toys and go home.
Poor baby. Tha otha kids R mean to him…
Yes! In case the thread goes bye-bye, I have page captures.
excellent! I was very happy to see him nailed to the wall. Kim’s comments were extremely good. Trust Kim to be able to say it.
Bryon got in a few good digs, as well.
I’m glad you got page shots of that. I’ve been following Hank for awhile-even before my blog-and he’s changed since a brief absence from the boards. He’s always been arrogant, but lately he’s become the quinitessential ugly american.
Maybe this will serve as a wake up call for him.
http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/6036
Let’s see if I get banned for this…
Hank just can’t save himself. But, that’s alright, because Matty will.
I’m thinking that Matty will fall off his white horse before it enters the battlefield. It’ll run back to the barn.
That thread absolutely gutted me. I’m still trying to formulate a response.
It’s threads like those that had me avoiding SL for awhile. Islamphobes can be very hard to talk to, so I figure I might an just avoid it all together and save the headache and facepalm. That said, all involved do a good job of showing that’s guy irrational rhetoric for what it is.
Here’s a dirty secret. I’m a Libertarian, by belief. At its most basic, it means we pay our taxes, and expect basic services like police patrols. We do not expect prying into our lives.
Where I live, the fire department is voluntary, and it did a helluva job back in June, when an entire apartment building burned to the ground.
I simply don’t understand how Libertarianism could possibly be at odds with any sort of sexuality. It’s not even on the Libertarian agenda.
That man is such an idiot.
And the irony of him talking about motes and beams–well, K-Paff delivered the gentle smackdown to perfection, so my comments would be otiose.
What gets me is the hypocrisy. How is what Hank saying, any different from what Nikita says? I mean, the ability to write and get a thought across, aside; isn’t it the same brand of bigotry dressed up in multi-syllable drag? Simply because Hank has a law degree, a book he edited and a couple of stories in print doesn’t make him any less offensive.
Or am I being naive again?
No, you aren’t, Raingods. I don’t “get” it, either.
Well, as always after interacting with him, I feel dirty and stupid, like I should know better than to play in the mud. But we’re all human. And thanks for your vote of confidence. Unlike Hank, I do not claim to get private messages telling me I deserve an award, but a little support is always nice.
I think most people are very selective in their libertarianism, but his positions are particularly incompatible with any version I know of:
Libertarian? And advocate one religion over another? Libertarian – and think separation of church and state is an aberration?
Libertarian – and rejoice at the state’s murder of someone (the removal of the one ultimate, most basic liberty)?
Kim, I should have given you credit for crushing Hank. You did an admirable job of it. My hat’s off to you.
I don’t want to crush anyone. I’d prefer people to get along, and I really think they usually can. My hopes are very low – if he had just said, “You know, maybe, just maybe, sometimes I kind of come off as arrogant and maybe it puts people off, and I’ll try to see other people’s point of view,” then I would’ve said, “Really? I do the same thing all the time! It’s no big deal!” But no, he had to play like he was the injured party and he’s God’s gift to the Internet. Fine. Reap what you sow.
I think I’ll sow some more four-o-clock seeds, just in case it’s not too late.
(those goldfinches are buggering me for camera shots)
He reminds me of … me once when I had that same stick up my ass. But then I started learning how to write fiction, which requires being able to take different points of view, and then I got smarter. 🙂
Eh, like I said on SL, I like Hank okay. And I wouldn’t group him with the likes of Dagstine or Nicky myself; he’s not even in the same league.
It would be nice if Matt would stop locking every third thread. I know he isn’t going to, but it would be nice.
He sure hangs out at a weird place for someone who claims to despise those double standards …
He clearly wants to feel persecuted. If he’s persecuted, he feels justified in lashing back, but he needs to goad the enemy forces into making the first move.
I have always been appalled at double standards.
This hank fellow doesn’t seem nicky bad just a different type of bad. At least in this case. I agree that Islamists over react (politely speaking) but I se no reason to dislike them. I am friends and acquaintances with rahter intelligent and nice Muslims.
kitsume,
This is simply another in a long line of threads Hank’s posted over the last year or so that’s shown him to be an elitist, arrogant doofus. He’s railed against the poor, low income housing, and Mexicans to name a few.
He doesn’t meet the nitwit criteria (as Kim pointed out to me on my blog), but his incessant hate for anyone not like him, makes him just as bad.
Kitsune is dating one of them. They aren’t all bad. (Gah, did I really say that?) Uhmn, *ducks*
She sounds like a nice person, Kitsune.
Hank is like Philbin in one very big regard. They start threads claiming they’re interested in “honest debate,” only if you disagree with him, even in the most polite way, he turns all shrill. I get the feeling that Hank, like Philbin, thinks “honest debate” means “Nod and tell me I’m a very smart guy.”
Oh, Hank’s no nitwit. It’s just that every once in a while, he seems to go off the deep end. I don’t think he does it on purpose, to stir the pot for shits and giggles. If SL had as many regular participants as it used to have, Hank probably wouldn’t even stand out from the crowd.
One can certainly debate vigorously, if one wants. One can even argue just for the sake of arguing. But guess which of the following works out better for all involved:
[someone makes a claim or a point]
Reaction 1: “That’s a really good point. I hadn’t looked at it that way before. BUT…” [then you can go on to disagree as vigorously as you want]
Reaction 2: “How can any reasonable, sane person say that?! My God! You’re threatening our entire way of life!”
And sure, all of us get worked up and fall into #2 sometimes, but if that’s your baseline for where you start out, it’s just no fun.
Well, I can’t believe I missed out on all the fun. My thanks to Bryon for speaking so eloquently in defense of those of us whose faith differs from that of the majority, and to Kim as well, for his intelligent discourse. I have no problem tossing Hank in with the rest of the Legion. He’s a bigoted prick who, while entitled to his opinion, should learn that sometimes those opinions can have consequences.
shes not muslim. 1/2 her family is
one of my best friends, however, IS muslim.
