Sometimes I spend whole days masturbating to naked pictures of Bea Arthur because of this.

everyone's idea of "good" is whenever they started posting.

If you had lived in Australia for nearly twelve years, perhaps you would be in a better position to understand. The reason I felt that his original comments required responding to was primarily that they asserted the exact opposite of what is regarded as the objective truth by the vast majority of human beings, regardless of nationality or country of residence. It was so alarming to see such a clearly distorted perspective, and it brought to mind so much of the national attitude of Australians, which I had the misfortune of being surrounded by for such an extended period of time. I am referring to complete immersion into what I must reluctantly term their culture, in response to a user possessing what I can only assume is an incredibly low level of experience with the accent to which he directed his negativity. Supported, of course, by his later admission of having never even set foot in my country. Given that I remember our accent and our people being lampooned on Australian national television, which I have never seen the reverse of in the fourteen years that I have lived in New Zealand, I felt it quite necessary to provide the countermovement for any further propagandistic spread of misinformation.

I do remember you once telling me that you are offended by use of the n-word, regardless of even a joking context, due to the connotations that it immediately brings to your mind. Imagine hearing it incorrectly applied. It does come off as a lot worse, and anybody with any courage would surely speak out against it, as you did. As a result, my reply contained a detailed critique of the Australian accent, in terms that would not only encourage forum members to actually continue reading what is, sadly, a lengthy post when compared to the majority of what one might find on this forum, but also provide details on what, exactly, makes their accent so bad.

As I have already described, the tone of my reply was intended to entertain. I was fully aware that the enjoyment of myself, in writing it, and other members, in reading it, would come at the expense of the Australian user. However, as he saw fit to insult the New Zealand accent in a thread that did not ask for reference to anything but the American, I considered it his problem if he was offended by a response to it. I wrote my reply in such a way that it amused me, as I am rather fond of writing in a creative manner, and any enjoyment on the part of other users was something I readily welcomed. The feedback that I have received has indicated, to me, that I was successful in my ambition.

As referenced above, I have previously offended you by jokingly using the n-word, in chat. This word does not carry any weight, in New Zealand, as it is never used as a racial slur. I did not understand what it meant to you, as I was ignorant of your experiences. Here, in this thread, we are seeing the reverse of that situation, where it is you that does not understand, Ale. I do not remember what my response to your complaint, in chat, might have been, at the time. I doubt that it involved replying with a caricatured textual impersonation of how I believe Black Americans to speak, however. Nor would I later go on towards referring to Black Americans as contributing nothing to the world at large, or as living in the shadow of my own race.

Are you honestly unable to see things from my perspective, in this matter? Is the Australian user's lack of a compelling writing style truly enough to excuse him of any perceived wrongdoing? Is it not still assault when you are punched by a weakling? I think that part of the problem is my dry sense of humor, really. It requires some level of both intuition and intellect to understand. It comes as absolutely no surprise, to me, that the users on this board for whom I had already held the greatest levels of respect are the very same that have responded in a positive way to my contributions. It is likely because they actually understand what I'm doing. I can, however, understand your own position, as you created the thread for a purpose greatly different from what has now dominated the dialogue.

As one might imagine, given the time I have spent in Australia, many of the greatest friends I've ever had are Australian. Additionally, I already told Heather, in chat, to disregard everything I have said in this thread as not applying to her. I would extend the same advice to Linda, whom I hope I have not inadvertently offended.

The user to whom I keep replying, however...? He has demonstrated so many of the negative traits that I became all too familiar with that I gave him the same treatment I was forced to give many of his wretched kind. Many of my comments were designed to actually test his responses, to determine how much he deserved. That is why I wrote so much, really, though I stopped short of saying more than you would think. When you grow up in an environment that is frequently found to be hostile, you soon learn that the best response to being flicked on the nose is to bash your attacker in the face with a cinderblock. It is a shame that some of them are too foolish to walk away, before I have do it again.

Apologies to the casual readers that sat through this post, expecting jokes. I felt that Alejandra deserved a meaningful reply.

We need to merge the entire board. That would be nice. Then change up the colors a bit. Pink or green with a nice old school background. Add a chat room and blog feature.

It was high school. She was already cheating on me a month before or so before she broke up with me. I was too busy in La la land to realize what was happening. I was just saying that this board goes way back for me. Right after she broke up with me, I think I posted something about a show from the Pumpkins on The Hub. I've always liked this place. I still get crap from my roommates every morning that I "play around" on a message board.
