Oh?

What double standard makes me a fucking tribal asshole or whatever?

I'm out.

You said something mean to Marty at some distant point in the past and then didn't throw down with 11B4V thus proving your insidious lack of goodness and light.

Well, I suppose i can own up to a lack of goodness and light.

But I am at a loss as to whatever else him and Yi are going on about...

You got on Martinus for calling HRC a "cunt".
But you didn't call out 11B when he called some silly GOP shill a "cunt".

Therefore . . . something follows.  You are not a true tribune of anti-cunt-calling.

So let me see if I have this straight.

Marty calls Hillary Clinton a misogynist term, because he is an asshole.
I tell Marty he is an asshole, and this upsets him, and he claims he is not, and objects to being called out on this.

Some months later, someone else calls someone else that same term. And since I don't pay attention to every single conversation on Languish, Marty is upset that I didn't call that other person an asshole?

Is that right?

Because implicit in this is Marty pretty much agreeing with me that he is in fact an asshole, since if he is not, there is nothing to be upset about now - being wrong twice wouldn't make me right.

So this is an interesting take on Marty's part, and I guess I should appreciate that he is going back and now admitting that I was right all along.

As far as what someone else said, who they said it about, the context they said it under, and why I should care...I don't know. I suppose I would provisionally say that calling women "cunts" is a pretty asshole thing to do no matter who does it though.

At least me and Martinus can agree that *HE* is definitely a piece of filth, even if there might be some debate about whether or not someone else is as well?

Yes.  Once you called out Martinus for using the word, you assumed the responsibility for all eternity of calling out anyone else who ever used it.  Don't complain about not paying attention to 11B's post, that's just shirking your responsibility as the forum cunt police.

Well, crap. Responsibility is a bitch, isn't it?

11B, you are an asshole for calling whoever you called a cunt a cunt. Don't do that, it isn't nice.

But she's creepy and looks like five miles of bad road for 49 y/o.  :(

Focusing on appearance is also not nice. 
Creepy is OK though.  It's subjective opinion.

Hmmm. I think I am only obligated to be the C word police, so I guess this gets a pass?

Have to wait until Marty is back to be sure.

Just staking out a starting point in negotiations. 

Oh yeah. Putting shit out there on twitter is great for negotiations.

Well, social media does offer one way to achieve the Wilsonian ideal of "open agreements openly arrived at".

But then again, putting "Whites Only" signs on water fountains also helps achieve some of Wilson's ideals, so fuck him.
