S/O Niners who aren't around...
Re: S/O Niners who aren't around...
That's an awfully loaded question from someone who has NO IDEA what my side in those conversations looked like.
Well it is true that profiling happens regardless of whether you're black, white, female, male, homosexual, or heterosexual and people of all those races, ethnicities, sexes, and sexual preferences are just as guilty of profiling others, as you just proved.
Not loaded at all. Did you learn anything? Yes or No. Did Smo challenge you to think or see something in a light that you never did before? Yes or No.
You can disagree with the way the info was presented. And you can still respect the other person. You can also agree to disagree without dragging a person all the way through the mud.
Knowing Smo based on her posts on PCE, all she'd ever want is for anyone to understand her point or at least think about it. In fact, that's what you and everyone else here is now doing. Hey, we are doing a flashback, not trying to be mean, yadda. That's all, right? You don't want me to profile your entire board as being a bunch of cray-cray women, right?
You want me to recognize that you can hold your on with a shiit-stirrer, right?
Do you have a Rebel Flag Prom Dress too? B
In that case, no. Smo never really pointed anything out that I wasn't already aware of, sensitive to, etc. Doesn't mean I didn't value her opinion, even if it wasn't presented well. And if there was anyone who refused to agree to disagree, it was Smo.
How did you guess?!
I agree with this. The thing that drove me crazy was not the points she brought up. There were many great discussions. It was the fact that no matter the situation she could never say "okay, let's just agree to disagree" she would often continue to drive her point in even after you said "okay, that's fine. I don't agree but I see where you're coming from." That irks me to no end no matter who is doing it. You need to be capable of saying, okay we both see the other person's point and we know we're not going to come to an agreement, so agree to disagree.
Meh, I was getting bored anyway...
