You say Rappy is not a rapist, and in the same breath say he deserves to be called one. That's pure doublespeak, the kind of thing I usually hear from someone who'd rather argue semantics than just admit that they used the wrong damned word.
You said it yourself: he is not a rapist. So he does NOT deserve to be called that.

It's kind of an odd argument to make. They're not "as bad as rapists," they're just BAD. Except for the ones running the involuntary polish women brothels at the camp and some of the sadistic guards that used anal rape as torture on male inmates, the concentration camps are more known for slave labor and medical experiments and murder than for rape. It's kinda apples and oranges a little.
Though hmm, thinking more about it, hard to say one is worse than the other.
Also it's curious that you feel you can't relate to strong feelings or sensitivity about rape. For the rest of us that's like saying you can't relate to strong feelings about murder. It almost makes me wonder if you've been desensitized by death-related trauma towards other traumatic issues. Humans have a way of prioritizing dangers they've been most exposed to.
And it's not really that we're being complacent about Auraptor on rape and murder, it's more an issue that he hasn't done those things. Voted for people who allow it, maybe, but then so have we all.

Jezus Kriste, Sig, you are REALLY on a tear! From what you write, you think nothing is acceptable but that we excoriate Rap (and Geez and Jong and Wulf and, and, and...too) in every single post they write, attack them unmercifully, show him no quarter...on a forum board?!? Isn't there quite enough of that already??
This is getting trollish, in my opinion. I stated my opinion about using the word "rape" as a NAME for ANYONE. I've stated my much more intense feelings about many, many things I've read, read about and posted here. "Complacent"?? My rather intense feelings about Rap's politics, science, his world view, etc., are pretty damned well known. I don't know what more you want; the only way I could be clearer about my dislike of his positions would be to go after him like Kane used to go after me, or like Wulf GOES after me to this day. That's bullshit, and IT WOULD ACCOMPLISH NOTHING ANYWAY.
I think you're talking nuts. We're human beings; we're all nasty enough to each other as it is. Why would you be virtually DEMANDING we be even nastier; I don't even know what you want, you think we should jump down his throat every time he dares to even POST or something? Call him Nazi, murderer, whatever would fit your opinion?
I'm sorry; you've gone waaaay too far "out there" for me. "Sociopath"?? "Hitler"?? Give me a BREAK! "feelings come first, explanations come second"--no, INTELLIGENCE comes first; simple common sense: to rant and rave all over Rap or anyone else here is just plain stupid. Of COURSE I'm horrified by what my government is doing, has done, will do, but dumping on Rap is the absolute LAST thing that's going to change that! I've been horrified since I was old enough to understand--you know, remember Viet Nam. What exactly has changed in all that time? So I'm going to get on some forum board and start "screaming" at people who support things that horrify me: That will do exactly what?? What it does now; get them to rant and rave back at me, snark at me, call me names, and make any form of communication completely impossible. Whoopee, I'd have accomplished exactly what?
I don't know what's up with you, but your sense of proportion is shot to hell, your common sense seems to have flown out the window, and you're sounding downright insane to me. Or trolling, I can't decide which, and at this point, I really don't care. I wish you could get a grip...
As for me, this..."discussion" doesn't work, it's a one-way temper tantrum...is at an end. Talk to you again when you come back down to earth.

I think using 'rapist' as a general term for a morally bad individual, is not helpful. Even supposing that person deserves such damning judgement.
For example calling Hitler a rapist, is nonsensical, and unhelpful. We shouldn't talk about different types of evil as if they are interchangeable. That's my view.
It's not personal. It's just war.

Quote:YOO HOO!
calling Hitler a rapist...
I said "as bad as, or worse". Apparently, you don't know the use of the word "as"... "It's as hot as hell" (Not literally, who the hell knows how hot hell IS, assuming it exists), "She's as cold as ice" (Really? I touched her, she seemed kind warmish to me).
Quote:Also, you seem to be conflating what I feel/think about rappy with how I respond to him. I'm not suggesting that anyone dump on rappy. I make a point of ignoring him myself, and I think I wrote a rather long post why I think everyone should do the same.
you think nothing is acceptable but that we excoriate Rap
READ MY POSTS WITH UNDERSTANDING MUCH?
Apparently not.
I'm reacting to your outsized, outraged (OUTRAGED! I tell you!) reaction to my phrasing when I wrote ABOUT rappy. At this point, you prolly don't want to know what I think of you either. Far as I'm concerned, this discussion is over.

"... what possible defense could there BE for creating a name such as that on a conversational forum board??"
In a spasm of TMI he indicated he would like non-consensual sex with an actress.

by surprise from behind
Well, drat, my mouse just quit - making copy/ paste and all very difficult. I'll try and be back soon.
ETA: Aside from him spilling his Jessica Alba rape fantasies on the board, the fact that I completely despise everything about him went in to the name I made up for him.
ETETA: "INTELLIGENCE comes first" AFAIK perception comes first. But perception is a funny thing - two people can be in the same place at the same time and be in the presence of the same events and perceive two very different things. As an example - I was at a store the other day when the cashier was having a hard time getting the UPC bar code to scan the items of the person ahead of me. So I commiserated and explained I have to work with a chemical inventory tracking system that often doesn’t scan the bar codes ... was doing a sort of --- scan it -- SCAN IT --- scan it --- --- --- damnit --- SCAN IT! routine --- and the young, energetic (and probably pain free) person in the line ahead of me was laughing and saying, I used to work in a lab, I know just what you mean - AS IF it was the most delightful cause for hilarity, and not another freaking obstacle between a person (me) and the chance to lie down ASAP and ease excruciating pain. So I perceived the scanner glitch to be a taxing obstacle, but the person ahead of me thought it was an opportunity for humor.
So what we perceive is heavily influenced by what we've learned, how we feel etc. And if we perceive things differently then how we feel about them will be different, leading us to consider vastly different courses of action, which we will do with greater or lesser degrees of intelligence.
CODA: So no, I haven't gone through all the back and forth. But since no one who seems to be offended has actually replied TO ME - it seems to me the WHY someone would do it, WHERE did the name come from, WHO it was that actually made up the name and applied it, etc are all pretty much meaningless to you, the anti-SignyM posters. Since, well, assuming the questions that have been asked are meaningful, the answers to those questions reside with me.
