Not if there name is ramit. What if your name was john? I'd say I'll be right back, I have to go take a crap on the john. It's a joke about a name, not where it originates. >> It's similar to if I said, this is real 'queer' of you to do ya big >> pansy, and next you'll be calling me a homophobe. > > Well, *yes*.

No it was a loose analogy to show that he's just trying to use anything he can say to slam me, and everyone can know it wasn't meant as racist. >> Try harder, because no one would ever believe I was a racist, and if >> they did, it's an uninformed decision based off of cherry picken >> phrases out of context. > > Oh, so *now* context is important. Never said it wasn't. The whole conversation to me is the context, and the OP usually follows it, and that's who it is usually intended for. >> Very text book propaganda of you though. > > I don't think that word means what you think it does. from wiki: Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the chosen result in audience attitudes. He wants people to think I'm a racist, and you now want to see that in me as well. It seems it has propagated, and that I know exactly what it means. And all over a silly post that had too little content, at the time, to have what I said require any other posts, especially if the OP is following the conversation. > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- Best Regards, David Hutto CEO: http://www.hitwebdevelopment.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
