Actually, I think neither is a subset of the other. There were plenty of people who the Nazis would have viewed as belonging to the master race who were utterly opposed to the Nazi racist ideology.

You are quite right, I stand corrected.
Sorry, I got up on a soapbox and mounted a hobby horse. I should have noted that while my rant was prompted by your post, it's the recent proliferation of accusations of bullying that fueled it. Politicians have taken to accusing each other of bullying, evidence of stupidity that would make me laugh if they weren't people making important decisions.
IngoB is, as he notes, an asshole. I have to say, though, that as infuriating as he can be, I think the Ship would be a poorer place without him. And given that what he posts and how he posts are known quantities, I think people should ask themselves if they want to deal with him or not before they engage with him in discussion, or if they want to just enjoy rolling their eyes and saying to themselves, "There he goes again!"

This post, from the Priestesses & Bishopesses thread in Styx, caught my eye and tickled my funnybone, for its application to the Guest of Honour of this thread. In the context of calling the Archbishop of Canterbury the Archbishop of Canterbury even if you think he's not a "real" bishop:

See, that's exactly what I mean. You insist that I deal with your "point". I spend more than half an hour of my life to type up a response that is as honest and open as I can make it. What do I get for my efforts? This.
So tell me again, what's the point of answering your points? I'm not requiring you to agree with me. I'm not expecting you to like me. But if you are just looking for something to stomp on then why should I work hard to provide it? You talk about "courtesy", but you offer none. And no, this is not just about you. Neither is it just about Hell. To me this frankly is just more of the same old SoF grind, if perhaps somewhat more obvious than usual because it is from you in Hell.

How precious, considering you didn't answer my point. You poor, poor dear.
quote:

How would you know? You never do. You haven't answered this point. You answered what you think it was, but you will not take correction when you do that, you won't try to understand when people tell you that you haven't answered their points, because you edit your own work and are 100% certain you get everything right. How can you be so smart and so clueless? Clearly a miraculous work of God.
Why do I hound you in Hell? Because I have this curious (and I'm finally realizing, totally unrealistic) idea that you are smart enough to realize that you have missed the point, and that perhaps if I explain it again, in a different manner, you might get it. Sadly it never works. The arrogance shield is impenetrable.

All he's been doing for the past month or so is proving that he is very interested in investing a lot of time and energy to the growth of the Ship's community-- both via his recent suggestions, and via his roleplaying commitment. I guess I have a choice of deciding which is more important-- the fact that he and I will never, ever ,ever agree about women's ordination, or the fact that there are now a couple arenas in which I can put all that aside and play with him.
Guess which I prefer.

Or in other words, you are not looking for answers, you are looking for repentance. Well, I'm by and large comfortable with who I am on SoF. I'll tweak this or that, but Hell calls are of no particular significance to that. Sorry.

Nope. No matter how many times you say this, it doesn't become true.

Thanks. It's particularly nice to hear that from you, I was rather afraid that you would take my exit more personally. Very graceful of you, if I may say so.

I think you might find an intricate form appealing, you have a love of structured thought, perhaps try a villanelle - its almost a formula.

Srsly. I would love every regular poster on the Ship to find and attempt one verse form. It would be like those FB quizzes - 'Which Pizza Topping Are You' - but with a little bit more intellectual heft, obviously.
