No, you don't get it. I wasn't levelling any sort of charge at all, and
certainly wasn't being "ironic." It's stupid to level that sort of charge.
Period. There was nothing essential lost in my boiling down. Period.
Frere-Jones attacked Merritt as racist *without offering any evidence
whatsoever,* has offered only a half-assed apology for using the word
"cracker" and continues to minimize the seriousness of what he did, playing
it as a light-hearted "gafuffle" when in fact it's much, much worse.

If instead of saying "Yeah, it means you're a homophobic prick." I'd have
written "Well, according to Sasha's argument, it means you're a homophobic
prick," we wouldn't be having this argument. Since your emotional reaction
to that first sentence seems to have made you incapable of understanding the
"That *is* how this kind of smear works, right?" that immediately followed,
I'm going to drop this.

But not before noting that someone who starts a thread by "despising"
someone and their art is in no position to call out someone else for being a
hater.

todd and you calling me a sarcastic jerk is truly hilarious morman
