Mr. EJ of O'Fallon, IL. If you keep up the cheeky act, I can go more in depth. I'm surprised Cheryl hasn't taught you any manners!

Feel free. My name is public information, identified by me on a public site. I'm pseudonymous, but not anonymous.

However, my initials are not EJ, and I'm not sure who you think Cheryl is.

Your initials are EJH, I just didn't want to give away your last name. I just feel like giving away things like your address, your phone number, and the names of other family members is pushing the issue too much.




Long story short: People, he's white.
 
^ and I have photographic proof, in case any of y'all are particularly curious.

It's not my fault if your information is unreliable.

Last time this happened, write4u called up some philosophy professor at a local college. I felt bad for whoever took that call.

You're fooling no one. Every one now knows your first and last name-- and you denying it simply makes you a liar. Everyone knows you're white as well. Best thing about it: literally took 20 seconds of my time to find out who you are, what your occupation, home address, phone number, pictures of you, occupation, and even things like what beliefs you used to have before Atheism (PS: LOLd when I heard that you experimented with JW).


Keep spinning things in any way you want. Relating this to write4u is laughable, and I'm truly enjoying watching you squirm-- as opposed to owning up to things.

I agree it was not an argument, just a little advice. Frankly, I'm not going into a lot of detail about why it's wrong to interpret King as de-emphasizing the " 'The white man is keeping you down' " message, there are plenty of King's speeches and works available.



JazzSpazz also tried to use Ghandi as an example of someone who didn't engage in strong, angry, accusatory rhetoric, and I supplied him with a list of easily-found quotes that showed otherwise.

Consider this: if your knowledge of King, Ghandi, etc., have come primarily through the mass media, then who has been interpreting it and filtering out what they consider relevant? I'm not suggesting any evil intent, just the natural way that people think the parts that move them are the parts worth repeating.

You missed the point entirely(I believe your playing games and did this on purpoose)

I never said that king "didn't engage in strong, angry, accusatory rhetoric". I said that it was his call to action that made him great. He had a message that inspired change whereas I think all you inspire is hopelessness. You have told stoked multiple times in this thread that not only is he inherently racist, but that he has no hope of ever over coming it. I think you see yourself as a moral crusader when your just being a douche.

Consider that you have no idea where I get my knowledge from. The only "mass media" that I pay attention to is NPR. I don't even own a TV.

The only thing I've confirmed or denied, directly, are the initials, because you were inaccurate. Of course everyone knows my first name, it's been used around here for *years*, going back to when I suggested it to another poster. As for my last name, that's also publicly available to anyone with half a brain that want to click on a couple of links, and again, it's been available for *years*.

I don't use "One Brow" because I'm worried about my identity. It's a nickname I picked up in college, and I use it like a stage name or nom-de-plume. You might as well be calling Nicholas Coppola a liar when he uses a different name in an interview.

That long? What type of silly slacker are you? You should have had it in under 5 seconds.

Of course, that I've already said on this forum that I work in the IT department, with databases, for a local hospital and the health clinics that own it, that I teach math evenings and weekends at the local community college (my resume is online, for crying out load), and I've talked extensively about religious background in the past, as well. You must be the most unimpressive net detective ever. You should pay other people to do this stuff, so you can get better at it.

Feel free to post any detail you want. I don't care, and it won't bother me or change my life in any way. The best possible outcome for you is that people won't assume you're a jerk for posting this information for no particular reason outside of showing off. No way for me to lose, or you to win, in that exchange. However, don't let me dissuade you.

BTW, IIRC, you're Muslim, so really you have no cause to laugh at JW theology. Yours is equally stupid.

What squirming? You confuse bemusement for fear. Post anything you want, I won't be bothered to confirm or deny anything unless it amuses me. Why would I care? Why do you think I need to "own up" to anything?

Gosh, I guess you're correct. write4u was trying to use my meatspace identity to alter my behavior. Nothing like that going on here. I'm sure you have some noble purpose in made for posting the information. Do tell us what it is along the way, if you can. That explanation is where we'll see the real squirming.

LinkedIn is pretty cool. To be perfectly ****ing honest with you.

Actually, I've told Stoked multiple times that all humans are racists, and I have never shied from including myself in that category, as well. I have not once singled out Stoked in particular in that regard, nor any other individual in this thread or the prior threads, with the exception of myself. Further, I've that while we can't change who we are, we can change how we act, by keeping in mind who we are. When Alcoholics Anonymous tells people they have to accept they will always be alcoholics, even after they have been sober for one month or 15 years, is that a message of hopelessness, or a reminder that loss of vigilance entails regression? It's a call to action, not despair; to activity, not apathy.

Maybe I was wrong. Have you studied the Civil Rights movement in any significant level? How many biographies of King have you read? If "no" and "none", why this protest?
