you mock and insult others constantly. you just called someone a n-gger 3 times, and now you're going to play the victim/saint/martyr. how tragic, and yet how brave you are. *a single tear rolls down my cheek.*
it's a word, and it's about his character, his core character, not a stationary title in life. goodness. he changes his character, the word no longer applies.

So you seek to control him?I'm sure that sentiment wreaks of mind control, or something.
no, it's not a form of control, i didn't state that i would hurt or harm or withhold anything from him until he changes, the only way to mind-control a person is to harm them in ways that would cause them to change, but they are only changing in exchange for something they value (freedom, money, job/income, love, etc.). if i am not withholding anything from his life, i am not controlling him, i am merely commenting on his behavior and offering my opinion on it. it's just that simple.

you're catching on. you statement above is your opinion, and if i called him a nig-ger, and if that's not mind-control, then neither is your comment on being insane. you are not stating you will hurt my life in exchange for that title (insane) being removed. that's not mind control, that's your opinion on the matter.

You said you'll stop calling him a n*gger when he changes. That sounds exactly like you're willing to hurt someone until they change.

oh i see. so its ok if you insult others, but its not ok if others insult you.k
he's not insulting me. he could be a nag or harassing, as well as myself, if i kept saying that or using others to hint at it, that would be harassing or nagging.
this is a msg board, not my life, nor is it his life.
i am not going to his job or to his family or to someone he loves and demonstrating my thoughts on him being a "n", i am not using my opinion of him in any way or form. his friends are his friends, who cares what i think about him? ppl create adjectives based on what they pick up, these adjectives aren't necessarily stationary, it's dynamic. you may like a poster one day, but dislike them the next. it's life.
as long as i don't effect his income, well being, his family, his way of life...what does the comment really matter? really!

not at all. someone else was suggesting that my comment about him was mind control b/c i stated that the label would change when he changed his character. it's the same if i called a female a "b" word, does that mean she's like that all the time? no. if she changes her character, will she be a "b" to me? no. it's not a stationary title, i don't do that, i think that's oppressive.
i simply stated that it's not mind control if i don't use those words against him in his personal life. if my words do not effect his personal life, it's not mind control, it's called a comment.

so? think up more adjectives if it'll make you happy.
