You know I have a problem with you. It's ok to make fun of Anathema. It's also ok to take him seriously and try to discuss with him. But it's not ok to post paragraphs explaining the obvious, because he might think it isn't so obvious, even possibly, it is the hidden truth that he has bestowed upon us, as he seems to like doing.
Clearly the dude was commending the lack of hypocrisy in an 'out' racist, and not the racism itself. And I for one agree that being truthful is a benefit, regardless of what you're being truthful about. That was apparent. It didn't stop anyone from making fun of him or anything, but it just ticks me off that you'd write all that crap to point out the obvious. you did what anathema did, really.

I was merely rejurgitating his drivel back to him in an attempt to prodding him into stating what his point was - i.e. nothing. The fact that he thinly disguised his lack of understanding of a basic moral truth is evident in the sarcastic responses he was receiving. Obviously, nobody was fooled. I just wanted to see if he was wanting to be an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. Given that it was MadMax, that was undoubtedly the case and my whole undertaking was for naught anyway.
