Jamila says, “Excuses, excuses. You should have just kept it short with an apology.”

You’re in my house now.

“How is ignoring somebody because you feel that they are a waste of your time “taking something too personally”?”

Funny, you don’t seem to be doing very well at ignoring him. You’re still talking about him.

“I see you are drinking the same coolaid as Obsidian that leaves people with the erroneous assumption that everybody should have time for all sorts of BS.”

…and yet, here you are.

“I think the real problem here may be that I value my time more than you think I should value it.”

…and yet…

“Personally, I didn’t care about the cyber-lynching squad.”

…and yet, you cheered them.

“When you continue to provoke people and beg them for a reaction you lose the priviledge of crying victim when they turn and react to you.”

The same could be applied to the provokation by stupid women who run around promoting White men as an escape from the requirements of womanhood. To hold them up as saviors from reality is provoking a reaction from men…Black men whose response can be summarized as, “What, are you nuts?!?!” and White men whose response can be summarized as, “Uh…you’re out of your minds.”

That’s basically what Obsidian and Chuck and a few others have been trying to say.

You, of all people, a supposed race realist, ought to be able to get behind that.

“I have no obligation to distinguish myself from people you claim to be haters of Obsidian.”

My point is that I don’t either. If you graze with a particular herd, you can’t be too hard on people who get you mixed up.

“The burden of proof does not fall on me to prove I’m innocent but for you to prove I’m guilty.”

You are guilty of boosting people who are underhanded, dishonorable, and stupid.

“If you don’t agree with me on this then it’s because your a hater yourself.”

So anybody who doesn’t agree with you that Obsidian deserved to get cyber-lynched on the pretense of it being for doing something the vast majority of bloggers do day in and day out, is a hater?

…and nobody it supposed to think you’re being irrational.

I get it. Whatever Jamila wants is perfectly good and rational, and if someone else’s rights or needs get in the way of what Jamila wants, then they’re a hater, a nutbar, whatever.

Nice to know. Now I don’t need to even pretend to take you seriously.

“Pro already explained to you what happened in clear, obvious language. I can’t understand why are having so much difficulty understanding what was a very simple situation.”

Underhanded, dishonest people who get caught being underhanded and dishonest lose the privilege of being trusted and taken at face value. I don’t think this was about copyright, as if it were, they’d have gone after Google. This would be much more lucrative and actually make more sense if someone was indeed worried about their photos proliferating around the internet.

Actually, if I were a Google mod and reading about any of this, nobody would be able to find Bene Viera’s anything on the internet without a direct link from a manually updated website, or her paying for it.

You apparently don’t know how the internet works either. If someone is uptight about their images being used for reference, and starts going after people for it, they disappear. Nobody will want to deal with them because they are a kook. Pro might as well have announced to the world that he doesn’t want anybody to know who he or Bene Viera is.

…and you’re the idiot cheering the idiot just because the idiocy happened to harm someone who said things that were inconvenient to your ego.

“I’m leaning towards laziness and an unwillingness to accept what is so obviously true–Obsidian brought the erasure of his WP blog onto himself.”

In a way, yes…In the same way that anyone who says things inconvenient to certain people’s egos who allows them to have any power over them, brings the wrath of idiots onto themselves.

This is why I roll my own. 😉

So yes, you’ve taught him a lesson…that a White man can post that a woman being Black is a tell for being a slut and have multiple photos posted without people’s permission, but if a Black man writes that Black women should be careful of White men because some of them believe that, and has one photo posted for reference, then his blog needs to die.

Got it. It’s Pro, Bene, Jamila, Jasmine, and Natasha world where anything is acceptable behavior so long as it doesn’t step on your toes, but where you’re too wuss to go after the big boys with more of a following or more corporate backing, so the easy targets are better…and then cheered and bragged about later.

Why were you bragging on something and then not wanting to claim any responsibility for? Doesn’t make any sense…but then very little makes any sense in Jamila world.
