I did actually get an answer from him in that he'd been constantly told that nobody in Europe was a racist and that his response was the one in my last post.
Fine.
So I admitted I'd read his post wrong, you know, as I said before, I'm not the sort of chap to accuse someone of what they have not done if there is evidence to suggest I got it out of context. You'd think that after I'd done that, that I'd actually, in hindsight stupidly, been nice to him about it, I'd given him the benefit of the doubt and been civil enough but ooooohhhh no, he had to press the issue.
I mean really?
He just wanted to get a rise out of me and get me all sweary, clearly he has been posting on Pharyngula for so long he's forgotten what civility is. I decided flirty language was a much better option :D
What cracks me up about this little exchange is that I basically said that the conversation was going no where and it was best to leave it at that.
He then says flounce - huh, I don't see any flouncing, flouncing is when you rage and tear and then stomp off in a bad mood (See Jen McCreight)- I was just bored of the way he was using everything I said to make me look as bad as possible - every single word was under scrutiny so that he could turn it into him looking seemingly macho and look how I crushed that racist European! (See what I did there?)
I love that he then says "YOU Tweeted ME! You're free to stop whenever you like" as if to say well you started this, I'll continue till you say so - I went with the flirty option again, seemed the best way I could walk away from it.
Crommunist, you are a very angry man, I probably could have phrased my first Tweet a little better but when I'm confronted with what you wrote to Melody how else was I to guess that your Tweet meant something else?
"Pro tip: if you are European, I don't give a good flying fuck how not racist you think you and your history are"
Well cheers for that, excellent conversation we had, good luck with being rude to people, it will get you so far in life!

You are just flaunting your "not angry" PRIVILEGE!!
Check your coat! And your racist hat!
*Checks coat and hat*
Yes, they are both racist and privileged enough - do I pass the test? :D
I had a remarkably similar exchange with one of "that lot" yesterday. Reading your account made me laugh so much that I had to storify it. Do they get lessons in how to behave like this? Do check it out: http://storify.com/FaithlessEye/criticism-graciously-accepted
Hello Simon
Thank you very much for doing that, as soon as it loads I will give it a read
I've spoken to religious people who have said all sort of things, I think I even had one Texan gent offer to shoot me with his shotgun despite the 9000 mile distance between us.
Speaking to the FtB crowd is possibly worse in that supposedly they have had enough intelligence to reject gods etc but then you find them acting like dear Crommunist here or worse Ophelia Benson & co
Attempting conversation with them is going to get you nowhere but then again, it is still rather fun! :D
Keep up the good work and thank you again for visiting my humble blog, let alone my Twitter account!
Oh dear goodness Simon, that was incredible!
You: "Look, if you tell people to fuck off all the time, it doesn't help conversation, do be careful when you post"
Latsot: FUCK OFF! I never do that! You called me cunt, I'm telling Mum!
O_o
