First off, it doesn't matter what qtns claims now. He was very much serious at the time and defended his position throughout that thread. If he had been joking, he would've let it drop or corrected for it when he was criticized. The best case scenario you can take away from that thread is that he was just maintaining his "joke" to fuck with me, but even if that were the case (and I don't think it is), then what of all the people who come here for the first time and sees that? How do you think that's going to impact your activism when people here are talking about murdering people and no one calls them on it? And the thing is, qtns has been consistently spewing this kind of crap for a long time now, and he has gotten progressively more arrogant and offensive about it. He now makes jd420 look like a political moderate.

As for Neut's comment, I had previously read it, and in this case I do think you read a bit too much into it. He didn't wish death or bad things upon the human members of the Baby Boomer generation; he basically criticized the type of society that resulted from being under the influence of the great majority of them, and said he is glad they wouldn't be influencing it forever. Each of them, just like each of us, are going to pass away over the natural course of time. He didn't suggest anything about hastening their demise.

Right, but that was not the original version of that message, which was much more offensive. He said something to the effect of "I wish all the Baby Boomers would drop dead." And Dante, who would (rightly) have raked me over the coals if I had said it, said nothing. Granted, it's not on the order of the offense that qtns committed; Neut's comment was vague and he did not call for any actions, but still, wishing an entire generation would drop dead is still pretty fucked up. And again, consider what nons who might be reading this board would think and how they would react to it. Yet no one but Jasmine called him on it, and that was only after Neut made the point again.

And you wonder why I question the moral integrity of many of the posters here? Look around, Diss. You don't read the board as much as you used to, so you miss a lot.
