I have two 201 section tickets for Clapton on 9/3.  I'd like to trade
these for 2 comparable tickets on 9/4.

Another alternative.  My two 9/3 Cirque Du Soleil tickets for your two
9/4 Clapton tickets.  Last choice is to just sell the CDS tickets.

You are very very very wrong.

In no way, shape, fashion (etc.) did I say that it was or was not to
"call another human being you don't know well enough to judge their
reaction to such epithets.".

I am actually quite upset over your mis-statement of what I have said.

For the last time, I pointed out the subjective nature of the difference
between someone such as myself and a close friend of Dauber greeting
Dauber with the salutation inclusive of the word faggot.

The whole point being that there is IS TREMENDOUS difference to Dauber,
even if both myself and his close friend had the same objectives
and friendliness in mind.

That the IMPORTANT difference is NOT how I menmat, nor how his friend m,eant
it, but rather how JEFF (subjectively) viewed it.

Thus, when someone says "Gee, why doesn't the shopkeeper want to serve
me, just because I'm xys", you can the point is not HOW friendly you
are, or how good your money is, but on the SUBJECTIVE reaction of
the shopkeeper.

I.e., Jeff can only be judged by his own standards, and the judgement can
only be done by Jeff.

Got it now?

I was using white male, as a slur.  That is certainly true.  I meant it to
mean, "having suffered no hardship, having never experienced racism, not
being able to see sexism if it falls in their lap."  Sorry all you white 
males out there, I didn't mean all of you.

Oh god, not this stupid etymological argument again.  Just because the
word "homophobic" has the suffix "phobic" does not imply a "fear".  
We have this discussion a lot.

PC-Bashing rides again.  You state and unpleasant opinion.  Not a supported
position, but just a position which you feel is true.  Have any support 
for your "fact"?  If not, it is not one.

I responded with an attack and an explanation of why your statement was
obnoxious.  In a classic "anti-pc" manner, you attack my words, not the

Hmm, of course, if you seriously intend to equate the status of
blacks 100 years ago with that of homosexuals today, you somehow would
have to account for the difference of say, the higher average household
income of white homosexuals than white heterosexuals.

Kind of a strange oppression, but then again, you can't seem to
understand the difference between dislike and oppression.

Not at all.  Phobe implies fear.  It is possible to dislike people
without fearing them.

Actually, no.  The word means fear of gays, not dislike of gays.

Nope.

When I was using the term "white male" (quotes for stereotype maladjusted)
to describe characteristics associated with this class of people.

	

Applying a characteristic of a small group of people to a large group of
people is using stereotypes. Applying the characteristics of a stereotype
to one person is not the same thing. It is the difference between talking
about an individual and talking about a group of people.


I plan on painting my house lavender.  This is a "faggy" color.  You can
say "Jeff, how gay of you to paint your house lavender."  No problem.
Now, if you said "All gay men paint their houses pink or lavender" that
would be a problem.


Your actions were such that they matched the current stereotype of "white male"
and because of this, I pointed out that you were matching the stereotype.
I addressed the stereotype to you, and individual.
