X: guys seriously stop making jokes about the Holocaust it's not cool

PS be sure to vote in my Concentration Camps survivor, we need someone to break the tie between Auschwitz and Dachau!

This is parody the preceeding poster.  Not "act like an asshole and repeat bs Oakvale said on mibbit that has no basis in reality."

Also learn to read, I said SKIP.

I'm not repeating anything said by anyone else. Mostly I just think "Nuremburg Trial Defendants Survivor" is an incredibly tasteless concept.

also you were the last one who didn't say skip

but for real, this is a thread where people are supposed to parody you. If you can't take the heat you don't have to post here. FWIW I didn't mean anything personal by it

Sorry, I was up until 3:00 AM last night writing papers and over-reacted a bit (and was too tired to remember that I had just posted in the thread ).  Skip

Come on X, surely you can see the weird disconnect of reacting on a hair-trigger every time anyone mentions anything related to the Nazis/Holocaust etc. and at the same time running a Nuremberg defendants survivor game, in which people vote for their favourite Nazi war criminal.

I highly doubt anyone uses "favorite" as criteria when voting in that survivor.  "Most interesting" or something like that seems like a more likely criteria.  Also, I don't react hair-trigger every time anyone mentions anything about Nazis/the Holocaust.  I don't really know where you even get that from.  On mibbit, I've asked Hash not to do it because for a while he was comparing all sorts of trivial nonsense to Hitler non-stop just about every time I was on mibbit.  I may have asked you once or twice not to make trivial comparisons once or twice (though I don't remember doing so) and I ripped some poster a new one once because he kept comparing Jon Husted to Hitler/the Gestapo.  Beyond that, I don't see where you this from.  I'm sorry if it bothers you that I kept asking Hash not to constantly compare anything that annoyed him to Hitler, but there was a period where it got to be too much.  I'm not saying it is deliberate (I'm inclined to say it isn't, in fact), but I really don't think you and the IRC establishment are giving a very accurate account of this at all (then there's the issue of violating your own rules about not talking about IRC stuff in the forum).  Bacon King's post was a bit over-the-top, although I did over-react to it.  It feels like you guys made a meme out of this situation and that the meme is now being revised in a way that unfairly makes me look like a hypocrite on this stuff even though I never have been.  I see a disconnect between my actions in your/the IRC establishment's meme about this subject.  However, I don't see any disconnect between my actual actions/statements on the matter.  If anything, I've been open-minded about hearing your perspective on the subject and willing to engage in serious discussion about it on those occasions where you don't try to play the meme game.

Schatz is too socially liberal for me and I really do think Hanabusa seems legit. In genral I prefer Democrats who are (or seem) more populist whereas ones who focus on progressive 'social issues' are just another species of DINO. Bushie needs to have a spiritual awakening that brings his understanding of salvation closer to that of Catholicism, stat.

Through analyzing Genji Monogatori (源氏物語) using Wittgenstein's Law of Identity I have uncovered some relatively interesting 'facts' about the role of discourse in Japanese culture. Not that I privilege facts of course.

[God-Emperor Schultz]

It should be remembered that it's of course a for the most part useless exercise to interpret colonialism or New Imperialism through a conventional left-right spectrum, as a proper application of Nietzsche's analysis in Beyond Good and Evil should demonstrate.

[It should also be remembered that I confess to actually having a pretty poor understanding of Wittgenstein. Now that you mention it I think it would probably be more fruitful to apply most versions of the Law of Identity to the Pillow Book of Sei Shōnagon than to anything else from that period. And addressing this at all is pretty much self-parody anyway, isn't it?]

[afleitch]

I can't miss this one Sorry Nathan.

It's not so much about the art of parody per se (and I've been meaning to post an essay I've written on the subject) but how one communicates a hyper-realistic approximation of the previous poster. Of course the usual cultural relativistic caveats apply (I've been meaning to provide a link to that) and probably the best approximation of how to render parody when making posts is to review various texts by theologians such as x (name to go here; make the f-ckers Google for it ) But really I'm very uncomfortable with the whole idea and in simple terms I'll really need to think about it.
