complaints about mod decisions

Hamilton wrote: [quote=Putnam-denizen]I think you were attacked for (or rather razzed a bit about) was when given an opportunity to talk about your relationship to black people, you limited yourself to describing the times they were perpetrators of crime. When this was pointed out, you said, no, no, you had supervised very nice black people who bought you a present once. This seeming lack of experience with black people (and remarkable lack of awareness of how limited your experience is) as peers/friends is rather unusual to most, I would guess, posting and reading a Fort Greene/Clinton Hill/Bedford-Stuyvesant forum. It makes me (as a white man) squirm with embarrassment for you.

But on the other hand your honesty is very helpful in evaluating the context of your comments on this subject. It is why I appreciate forums like this one, where if people type long enough, understanding (as in knowledge) will come out, if not always agreement.

***************************
I chose not to write a complete history of my relationship with blacks who I worked with or live in my building or friends of my sons who have been coming to my home for years because of the pettiness of pseduo-intellectuals that infest this forum, as they would have a hard time digesting that there are so called privilaged whites that do relate to blacks.
I don't feel I'm required to go into great details about my friendship or understanding of other races.
But I do have the right to discuss crimes against myself and my family .
All I can say is keep assuming and enjoy the squirming.


"Pettiness of pseudo intellectuals that infest this forum" and I get deleted for calling a guy Superman who takes a gun from a robber with a punch in the stomach; what do you think about that Putnam?

Hamilton was being whiny, but he didn't personally attack anyone with that statement, and it was pertinent to the main topic of discussion, which your post was not. After both of you ignored my warnings to cut it out, the entire bickering exchange between you and Hamilton was split off and moved offsite, not just your posts. If you were registered, I would have been able to PM you about it, but you insist on posting as a guest, so that wasn't possible.
