How They Respond

One of the saddest aspects of the "Exposing" blog is it's tendency to lapse into racist, sexist or just plain ignorant comments, all the while claiming to have the moral high ground in the debate about "thugs". New examples appear almost every day, but we'll just show one for now.

As a follow up to the phony "Nazi" accusations, someone posted a very reasonable comment on the "Exposing" blog:

Was not the Red Baron a WW1 German fighter pilot who died in 1918, one year before even the pre-curser to the nazi party was formed?Is the poster using that profile pic German by any chance? Very racist of you to label all Germans as Nazis!!! I am sure German fathers and grandfathers fought and died in WW1 too.

Seems fairly straighforward to us: accurate, mildy chiding but in no way belligerent. An excellent opportunity for the "Exposing" crew to display some class and admit that they made an unfortunate mistake of both fact and expression.

So how did they respond? You be the judge:

German Baron fan:

Shut up, you Nazi fuck. Stick your head into the toilet, and flush hard.
Send us your shoes to prove you've done it.

Which I think you'll agree does little to contribute to an open and rational dialogue. Remember, this is a blog that has the gall to call others bullies and thugs.

Yes but you are expecting these sows ears to produce silk purses. It is obvious their level of debate has not moved from the junior schoolyard.

I believe I was the first person to point out the anomoly of using a picture of Von Richtofen as a poor example of a Nazi!

Hi Bob.

You may have been the first to point it out after it had been published, but if the "Exposing" thugs had any ethics/intelligence at all they would have realized before it was published, and then not published it at all.

But you're assuming they have any intelligence!

PS would you care to pm me via the Forum boards I would like to thank you for taking so much trouble.

Bob you have a point.

You are most welcome and expect a PM sometime today....
