- Nice one, fool. If you really think a smiley covers a rude comment
- like that you have a lot to learn.

- And bye the bye, I share a house with Brian and I have been a guest
- of his Nation and he is NOT white in any way shape or form.
-
- But he is a man, you got that much right.

- Be serious, it's hard for me to type and laugh at the same time.
- What's your damage? Who's being rude? It was rude of Brian to foist
- his minority view of the issue on me and everyone with his comment
- "what we want here is soc.culture.native," and it was rude of you to
- name me a fool. If you think that punchline is rude, then the joke
- has not been told to you properly by a Native American and you are
- compounding ignorance with hostility. But the point of the punchline
- was to slam Brian's imputation of his view to everyone, not to label
- him a white man, and I doubt that you missed the point. It is
- ridiculous for you to defend his race and his manliness, and I'm
- unimpressed that you dragged his Nation into it in the process. If he
- takes offense, I hope he confronts me himself. He certainly doesn't
- need you to fight his battles for him. Your posturing is more
- egotistical and overbearing than his comment and his antagonistic
- attitude in general towards the consensus forming on the new group,
- and I'm not surprised to hear that the two of you sleep in the same
- house. It's obvious from your signature that you want absolute power
- to bludgeon to death anyone who doesn't defer to you.
-
- Do your worst. You have already. Thanks for the laugh of the day.
