Anyone who’s ever said that tattoos and piercings distract from a man’s “natural beauty” can kindly shut the fuck up after looking at Manhunt member diferentboy. As soon as I saw this 29-year old fellow from Madrid, I was captivated by the way he just oozes pure sexuality from his pores. He’s the type of guy you’d actively want to make eye-contact with while getting rammed up the ass, so he could simultaneously fuck your soul with his pretty blue eyes.
Is anyone else ready to book a vacation to Spain this week? When you add this to sieskeyo and MarkoGorostegui supporting the hypothesis that “all of the cute butts” reside within the country’s borders, it seems like your balls would be drained dry by the end of that trip… And if any of you bottoms have a problem with diferentboy‘s ink, he can just do you doggystyle while I stuff your mouth with my cock to prevent you from complaining for no good reason.

Hot! I suggested we need to send you to Spain for “field research”. Need any assistants?
Obviously. Someone needs to carry my backpack full of lube and condoms, then supervise all the fucking to make sure it’s done properly.
I love how people are so passionate about their preferences online to complete strangers they will never meet (much less have sex with)
I MUST BE HEARD AND YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME
I think it boils down to being completely desensitized to all things sexual: when you are completely dissecting a person’s body in their most intimate moments….you’ve got problems that not even Judge Judy can help you with.
(see what i did? I did the same thing, but mine isn’t as TROLL-y ….#gurlbye)
I don’t hate tattoo’s! I’m not overly attracted to someone who has them, but I do believe it’s an artful expression : )
His tattoos aren’t the reason I don’t like his overall look. Frankly, it’s the gay face that breaks it.
I hope he is versatile because Damn, what a sexy man.
His profile says he’s a total top, but you never know…
You sound like a great person I’d like to get to know!
(This is sarcasm, in case that isn’t clear.)
Excellent usage of #gurlbye.
my objection to piercings has nothing to do with aesthetics…I dislike the way they click against my teeth when I’m licking or sucking a guys nipples, dick, etc… : (
I never understood ink when I was younger. The older I got the more HOT it was to me. *Some* piercings are hot as hell… the zipper on the penis for instance! WOW! PA’s are sweet, but not a good idea to have in while getting head. you can break someone’s teeth with those things! LOL Nipple piercings? Hell yeah!
I can supervise the schleper … and I most certainly have the experience & qualifications to assure the fucking and other activities are properly accomplished to everyone’s satisfaction. 😉
Self loath much? “his gay face?” really HUNTY?
I’ll take gay face over shit for brains any day.
I find myself working around them too often; I mean, I’m pretty aggressive orally, and if I have to worry about tearing a metal bar out of your flesh, it’s… Well, it’s not sexy to think about first aid for avulsion injuries. It’s just not. They’re not like rope burns, minor scrapes, or bruising, you have to stop what you’re doing, get ice and povidone-iodine, apply pressure where you can, call an ambulance (because I’m not getting blood on my leather seats), and sit there apologizing for ten minutes… And no matter what, the guy doesn’t want to talk to you afterward. I mean, this whole chain of events began with Clark this completely hypothetical guy deciding it was a good idea to accessorize his dick, can’t people make honest mistakes? Geez.
He looks like a freak. There, I said it. And, yes, I mean it. Now to give an impression about critics of “tats” and “piercngs,” how about showing profiles of manhunt members who are older (and I mean older – not “45”) and not “HWP” or “built” (and I mean overweight) and call out all the “haters?” Most manhunt members are older and, yup, I’ll say it, fatter. And they don’t look like a sorry rendition of the Sistine Chapel ceiling or the lighting fixtures of the Versailles Hall of Mirrors. How about giving them equal (or, to be truthful, predominate, time since most of them predominate on manhunt) treatment? Oh, yes, that’s right – it’s about false advertising “marketing.”
Agreed. I’d like to think that few, if any of the guys on here would be a quarter as vocally judgmental of folks’ bodies if romantically confronted with pretty much any of the men that get featured here. I’m not saying that I think all of these men are all things to all people, but that the overwhelming majority of us would be more polite if we had to tell someone that we weren’t interested/attracted to them. I mean, you can go to any bar or club and find a few nasty, treacherous bitches, usually off smoking and commenting on others’ business, but that’s not the majority of us.
I think that the department-store model of online dating, porn, and entertainment (outside of broadcast TV) is responsible for much of it. Preferences become narrower and narrower as categories come into being to further define them – are you a bear? A muscle-bear? A cub? An otter? A twink, twunk, DILF, Daddy, Sir, sub, slave, pup, alpha pup? I could go on all day before I ever got around to calling you a man, and once upon a time, that one class mattered a whole lot more than it does now.
(Warning: Paranoid, but fact-based rant, coming up.)
I think the FBI had a lot to do with that, to be honest. Sexual equality groups were targeted by their COINTELPRO activity for decades. The purpose of that activity was to infiltrate groups deemed subversive or potentially subversive, and create exactly the sort of internal conflict which we see here, to destabilize groups with legitimate grievances against the government. Their methods included the dissemination of propaganda materials (which in this case would be “community” publications), character assassination, media manipulation, and outright violence. It’s well-known that Hoover had a pretty severe case of homophobia, and as the guy in charge of COINTELPRO’s policy, it seems completely reasonable to believe that a good portion of responsibility for gay behavioral stereotypes that have been part of media indoctrination for the last several decades can be laid at their feet.
It’s why I fuck law enforcement officers whenever possible; if I’m going to get fucked by the Man, I would prefer to be on top once in a while.
(End paranoid rant.)
Tattoos are hot, but the Madonna sleeves and shaped eyebrows are not. What appears to be makeup on his face is a boner killer too, although it just may be the lighting and photo editing.
exactly! lol
not really a fan of too many piercings…..especially dick ones as am scared i will be stuck like selma blair in the sweetest thing lol but the ink is gorgious love ink have 5 tatts myself hehe
Oh yeah, I forgot, expressing an opinion opposite of the article is met with ridicule and insults. Why do I even come to this site
…For the abuse, obv’s. “Gay face” is kinda, you know, bigoted and offensive to just about anyone who has any self-respect as a gay man. It’d be like me seeing an article about you intended to flatter you and saying, “The extensive scarring from numerous predator attacks isn’t the reason I dislike your overall look. Frankly, it’s the heavy brow ridge, wide-set eyes, and lack of a protruding chin that turn me off. I just feel like we’re two different kinds of Homo, you know?”
(Edit: Maybe “flatter” isn’t the right word. “Highlight his unique appeal,” there you go. Although, with the sheer number of Spanish guys who’ve been featured on here over the years, I suspect Dewitt of laying the groundwork for a move.)
He can do what he wants with his body: It’s his to do with! I personally find it repulsive, because of the tattoos. Go ahead: Tell me to STFU! My answer to you is do the same.

There is literally nothing about “gay face” in this piece. That is a dumb, ignorant term, hence why I’m “ridiculing” you. Don’t act like YOU’RE the victim here, and don’t act like I’d care if you stopped reading altogether.
Not for me, but to each his own. I just find it funny how this is like the second post lately showing such angry hate towards people who don’t like tattoos, yet not the same anger is showed to those I’ve read who talked about someone’s weight, race, dick size, etc. Yeah they get the post every now and then where it’s said I like them so you should too. But this post pretty much says you should like this guy and shut the fuck up. No, I don’t have to like this guy. It is a preference. I have every right to say I like a natural look. Others go on about how they only like natural uncut dick. But I doubt we’ll see a post about guys with cut dicks and how those who don’t like them should shut up. Every one is entitled to their own preferences, likes & dislikes. In fact isn’t that what our gay community is supposed to be about? Isn’t that what the rainbow represents? I can accept they chose to get the tattoos, but it doesn’t mean I have to like said tattoos. However the tats are a moot point with this guy. He isn’t my type look wise with or without and that’s okay. I don’t have to find him attractive. I can have a type. Isn’t that what manhunt is about? Looking through profiles to find guys that are your type and have everything you want? I like Dewitt and I’m usually on the same page with him. This is just one we disagree on. And that’s okay.
You know, we already cut two colors out of our rainbow. They didn’t toe the fucking line; remember that next time you sit down to type.
I’ve waited a long time for that one. ;-P
I completely agree with you. You get to prefer and like what you do – like I mentioned as regards racial preferences, what we prefer has generally already been established on some level before we start our own exploration. Specifically to being a member of the LGBT community, that exploration has a lot to do with moving beyond the conditioning to like whatever we’ve been told. This isn’t about preference, though. This is entirely about pride.
Isn’t pride about celebrating each other, and promoting the values of inclusion and respect that we want the rest of the world to show for us? It takes every one of us to form our community, that’s true – but if you don’t have something nice to say about someone, and it’s not offensive to you or to some other party that you support, then why say anything? What happens when diferentboy reads this post (because he can, just like the last subject), and sees someone insulting him? Some random-ass stranger, who took the time out of their day just to share their negativity, or worse, directly break him down. Not just saying that “eh, he’s not my type,” but “the gay face [is unattractive].” That’s some straight up middle-school cyberbully bullshit, sure, and I really hope that if diferentboy reads this, his feelings aren’t hurt… But beyond what damage is done to him, we are all shamed by that kind of shit. Does it empower us as a community? Does it celebrate diversity? Does it make anyone feel proud? Which color of the rainbow signifies petty jabs made at strangers on the Internet?
(That was a rhetorical question. I know it’s orange. Fucking orange…)
Cos we all LOVE stereo typing, y’all need to channel your inner queen, stick you’re tongue in your cheek, AND THEN read your ManHunt Daily article. It’s a much better read when you do 🙂
::shrug::
There’s no point in me defending someone who’s not being persecuted. Commenters here are quick to attack the life decisions and logic of people who get tattoos, but how often do you see people ACTIVELY COMPLAINING about cut cocks or a lack of tattoos?
I’m not saying you have to like him. I’m not saying you have to like tattoos. But, honestly, we don’t need to hear about it every fucking time there’s a list featuring a gut with ink. It gets on my nerves, and it’s been a consistent enough problem since this blog started that I have some lingering resentment on the topic.
It would be fun if the blogger guy matured a little.
I think circumcision’s a nauseating practice and cut cocks make me cry inside. I can’t even debate the subject, because it’s either a sincerely held religious belief, or the lowest form of herd-stupid savagery. It’s wrong to harvest undifferentiated stem cells from little aborted babies, but perfectly acceptable to remove part of your kid’s dick for no real reason. Let’s not even get into the sheer sexism of it – desensitizing a man’s most innervated region is okay, but female circumcision is evil. ‘Cause that makes sense.
Okay, I’m getting a little too excited. I need to trim it back a little. Deep breath, and… Alright.
Penis tattoos. Google them. See what can never be unseen. Some are nice. Others, kinda horrifying.
Also, relating to the practice of genital piercing, at what point in courtship do you think it’s appropriate to tell your partner that you’ve accessorized/enhanced your bits? Is that something that can be a surprise? Would you freak if you found that lucky charm?
How can a blogger expect readers after alienating the ones who don’t agree with him or choose terms he doesn’t like? Grow up, or ur one bad post away from disagreeing with all 12 people who read this and insulting them the way you do. I wont play the victim here but that means you can’t do the same when the only writing job you can get afterward this is figuring out what new puns to put on Mcdonald’s posters.
This thread absolutely makes me laugh. I have three tattoos and a piercing, however you can’t see them. If, at the point you get to see my tattoos, they turn you off, that is absolutely YOUR problem. My tattoos and piercing do not define me, they augment me. If we get to the point where we’re comfortable enough that I want to show you, you should be so lucky. Thank you, Dewitt, for calling out these judgmental homos. Everyone has their own personal tastes, but when you project your tunnel-vision on someone before getting to know them, that makes you the one with the issue.
And you’re on Manhunt Daily. You’re gay…and you have a face…that’s “gay face,” hunny.
He’s a good looking man although not my type. I admit though, I love his ink (I love tattoos – have 4 myself).
I think the debate here is not so much about loving or hating tattoos…it seems the issue Dewitt and others who post have is with the folks who post mean comments. It’s one thing to say you don’t care for tattoos, it’s quite another to say someone has ruined their body or looks hideous. As someone who has tattoos, how do you think it makes me feel to read those types of comments? And yet I would guess you would never say that same statement to me in person (at least I’d hope not). There is nothing wrong with having a dissenting voice but don’t be such a bitch about it. And please do not use the argument of “they posted their bodies on the internet so they should expect these types of comments”. That’s just ridiculous. Some of these guys posted pics on a profile looking for others to meet, fuck, date ,marry, whatever. The profiles were not uploaded so that strangers could write nasty comments and judge the person.
And to the guy who used the term “gay face” – seriously, did you even think about what you wrote? Cuz you actually just come across as cunty and rude. It’s not funny or clever.
***deep breath***
Okay, I’m over it now…next article please…
Totally correct, sir. The author is being a snide brat calling out people who do not agree with the perspective of his article. If all he wants are yes-men and infinite platitudes to fill this comments section, why offer it at all? The author is a professional journalist, not some petulant teenage bitch lashing out at her fellow cheerleaders on Facebook because they don’t like her new pom-poms. He needs to have a little more perspective here and not see every dissenting view as a personal attack.
Wow, and that’s coming from Lois Lane! Love your work, gurl.
I appreciate being appreciated, kind sir. And I am totally against this blog author’s childish bullying of commenters who do not respond to his “journalistic” expressions in a way that he approves of. In fact, the lead statement of this article is a snide bitch-slap statement to any readers who may have shared their dislike for tattoos in older blog posts. Personally, I feel tattoos, when used sparingly (on men, only), can be somewhat sexy as long as the artwork and placement is flattering to their body. In fact, my own husband Clark has a gorgeous three inch heart with my name on it on his meaty and succulent Kryptonian glute. I must say, even though the young man in these photos has an avant-garde appeal, I really did think that this article was about Kat Von D having gender re-assignment surgery before I read the first paragraph.
I especially like the last picture
That is a good one. Fifth after the jump is my personal favorite; I love the use of shading, contrast, and asymmetry.
So he shouldn’t call reader’s out for using bigoted terms like “gay face”? Considering you don’t seem to acknowledge this as offensive, but instead as a “term he doesn’t like” must mean no one has called you out on it before. You must be fine with people throwing around racial slurs as well, I mean it’s just terms that some groups of people don’t like. They are obviously immature if they take offense to it in any way.
When someone is offended he’s going to lash back out of anger, just like my post. Sorry, but “gay face” irritates me. If you would be so kind, I’d love to hear why you think “gay face” = unattractive shouldn’t be offensive to gay readers.
Professional journalist or not, no voice should be silent when speaking out against bullying. I don’t know where you stand on the term “gay face”, but I’m sure many gay readers here agree it is offensive and bigoted.
You still see in schools and even more commonly on the web, equating gay with stupid, inferior, or other derogatory terms. When a kid is bullied for “looking gay”, “acting gay”, or “talking gay” it perpetuates the notion there is something wrong with being gay. “Gay face” is the same, it’s based on the opinion that appearing gay is unfavorable and shameful.
“Gay face” is a personal attack against all gay readers and kudos for Dewitt to speaking out against it. Disagree with the attractiveness of the guys in his posts all you want, but you should be called out for using homophobic slurs just as much as you should be called out for using racial slurs or misogynistic slurs.
Gay face, in this particular situation, is referring to the heavy make up he is wearing as well as the pursed lips he is trying to make and getting the perfect angle for ‘fuck me’ eyes. These are all things that a woman would do on her instagram. Coming from a man it looks very feminine and is a turn off when it comes to men who like other men -not men who wear make up and try to resemble women.
Now, I understand I have opened the door for a rebuttal to my newly added sexist remarks. Proceed in making them if you feel it necessary.
Understandable if you find some of his qualities are feminine and there is nothing wrong in expressing so. There is nothing derogatory about being feminine and in no means does everyone have to be attracted to that.
I still ask you how as a gay man I shouldn’t find it offensive that all gay men look the same which is feminine. It’s the same as bullies that pick on guys bad at sports calling them a homo. Which by your reasoning, there is nothing wrong with that because, stereotypically, gay men are bad at sports just like, stereotypically, gay men are feminine.
Call him feminine looking, call him not your type, but don’t use a homophobic slur based on a stereotype and not expect us gays to take offense.
Some tattoos are hot. His aren’t. You’d have to be completely braindead to go to that extreme.
Yeah, you’re really just digging yourself into a hole with this “defense”.
Interesting that you call me out on “childish bullying”, then end your comment with a seemingly transphobic opinion!
Who ever told you I’m a professional journalist? It’s actually offensive to professional journalists to call a lowly blogger like me a “journalist”.
Ooh, low blow! I am terrified of this future where I get paid extreme amounts of money to come up with three to five words on a poster.
If you’re gonna try to insult me, at least go for something better than that! Why don’t you tell me I have “gay face”? That seemed to work for you in the past.
Because using the term “gay face” is considered mature behavior?
Maybe that is your problem, sir: you take no pride in what you do…You should…You would do it better if you valued your work more…Just a thought.
It is not transphobic, as I am transgendered myself. It is also called “humor”. My friend Joan Rivers has said that this is fast-becoming a nation that cannot take a joke, and I can see why. We are becoming so PC and inhibited about making a shrewd social observation that edgy, uproarious, ‘inappropriate’ humor is becoming an endangered art. We need laughter in our culture, and many of the comments that I have observed you overreacting to have contained caustic, edgy “gay humor” (that was pioneered by the likes of Oscar Wilde, Paul Lynde and even Rivers herself) that you have sometimes mistaken for “serious” social commentary. “Gay” humor is seldom gentle and often shrill and campily provocative (see any episode of the bewilderingly successful ‘Will & Grace’ for better examples). Please research the evolution of gay comedy in our culture and learn to take a joke, my friend.
::shrug::
Let’s just agree to disagree here. I am too busy taking in pride in what I do—as in, actually doing my job—to argue about what’s “too politically correct” in my own comment section.
I’m not going to apologize for thinking “gay face” is a shitty, offensive term. Period.
It’s getting to the point that no matter what the blog’s are about there is no way to enjoy them without a lot of negativity and people who want to take over the discussions to the point where you can’t even find comments that one might want to like.
It seems that since the negative vote has become invisible to all people take it as a sign they can say anything because WOW no one hates them or votes against what they say.
If this is how all the blogs are going to keep pace it’s almost not worth even looking at them or being a part of them.
Criticism is one thing but blog after blog is being taken too far and has more negativity than positive notes. Do we all hate each other and ourselves so much that the only way we feel good is to ruin it for others?
Why in the heck would anyone from ManHunt want to be featured just so others can put them down or pick at them like a school bully?
He doesn’t even look feminine. He looks like I did after I let my friend “shape” my eyebrows one drunken night ten years ago; she was a little overzealous horizontally, and they’re STILL growing back. Lesson: Never trust a woman with a pair of tweezers in one hand, and an espresso martini in the other. She does not know what she’s about to do.
Child.
And what does that make you? A mature, sensible adult?
You don’t have to apologize for anything, Mr. Dewitt. I respect how you feel. I’m just trying to show you that at times, you are just a little too “thin-skinned” and “knee-jerk reactive”to be moderating the type of discussions that your articles have been catalyst for. Ask yourself this: does the African American culture crucify the members of its own ethnic group who would use the infamous ‘N’ word as a term of raucous friendship and/or pointed disparagement? They do not. As for this term “gay face” that everyone seemed to be so scandalized by; the damn phrase was used on “Will & Grace” over ten years ago! The phrase now exists (in a very un-PC way) within the modeling industry to describe a certain wan, fey and laughably introspective & affected ‘expression’ that less creative models rely on during difficult photo shoots. You’ll see alot of it in European fashion mags these days. I find it a silly term myself, but I didn’t need to reach for my Valium when I first heard it. Just calm down a bit, my dear.
Cheer up, kiddo. I applaud your chutzpah at standing your ground with some of our over-sensitive sisters. Lois still loves you.
you go, lois-baby! ;p
I am actually very, very calm in despising that phrase, but I appreciate the diplomatic (albeit slightly condescending) approach you’re taking to defend it, versus the original poster’s rather awful attempt at defending it.
My knees are jerky, and they will always be that way. Not planning on changing that any time soon.
I’m so glad some of you hate me now! It was getting exhausting having so many misguided fans.
–lol–oh my god! i don’t hate you at all…i think your columns are usually pretty spicy & fun…and YOU are fairly cute for a blogger/hooligan –lol–i just don’t back down–as you’ve observed–when i feel i am right about an issue…and i’m not afraid to throw my support at others who do the same…besides, you told me i was sexy when i unlocked my pics for you when we chatted thru your manhunt profile…you must like me a little ;p
a blogger who keeps his readers cause he doesn’t treat them like pests rather than contributors to my thought process and my humility. so yes, your opposite.
You mean a progressive show for its time about a cast of somewhat dysfunctional yet endearing at the end characters that used stereotypical, offensive humor to push some boundaries but easily discernible as humor because of the situation and tone of the voices and then take a serious note to tackle the internalized homophobia of Will calling Jack a fag that still perpetuates today in the gay community is the same as an internet commentator, that none of us know and have no way of discerning if he’s being sarcastic, using a homophobic slur as an insult and then further elaborating that the slur was meant as an insult and not a joke the same thing?
I have nothing against edgy humor, but this isn’t a place that works well for edgy humor. Sarcasm rarely comes across well in text forum only, added to the fact that none of us know a single thing about each other, homophobic slurs are going to come across as offensive and serious. The internet is full of commenters hiding behind anonymity to spout hateful speech. Just sift through a site called 4chan and tell me how much of that is humor and not a bunch of impressionable 12 year olds spouting off racist, homophobic, and sexist remarks because it’s the “cool” thing to do on the internet since you can’t get in trouble.
I’m going to call people out for offensive terms online just as I would in person. Calling a manhunt member a homophobic slur, then using the defense “it’s just a joke” is the same as the bullies in schools calling a gay kid a cock sucker, then using the same defense. All the bullies are laughing, so it’s just humor, no victims right?
Always makes for good story at least, or maybe that’s just in my case.
You sir, I like you a lot.
Eyebrow loss is usually good for that…
…Is that boiled rabbit I smell? Delicious!
–lol–methinks a l’il armoured silence would serve you well 😉
You’re a blogger? What do you blog about? How to avoid gay faces?
“I have nothing against edgy humor, but this isn’t a place that works well for edgy humor. Sarcasm rarely comes across well in text only form, added to the fact that none of us know a single thing about each other, homophobic slurs are going to come across as offensive and serious.”
I agree. Tone and intent can be very hard to perceive from a simple, typed comment.
But you have to pay attention to the environment within which these comments are made. This is ManHunt, for God’s sake. This is not the UN Council for the Ethical Conduct of Homosexuals. The average article/blog comment has s much social relevance as a sex sonnet scrawled on a “Denny’s” bathroom wall. I applaud that you are socially conscious enough to stand up for people you feel are being insulted, but I think you need to look at this opinion ‘arena’ in a more lighthearted way. As far as intellectual importance goes, what you’re responding to here is like urine-saturated ‘cotton candy’: save your social conscience appetite for ‘prime rib’…That is just not on the menu here.
I hope this helps.
You kids sure get your nickers in a twist over the damnedest things, these days.
Oddly enough, I would probably respond to homophobic graffiti on a Denny’s bathroom wall, too. I suppose I don’t draw the same lines that you do.
We’re all culture-warriors, dear. We need to choose our battles wisely.
“It’s called “compassion”. We all enjoy porn, but some of us don’t think
that seeing another man risk his health for a thousand dollar paycheck
is worth it. That’s all.”
I remembered liking that you took a stand on bareback porn, had to backtrack to find it. I’m curious, though, why you would bother to comment since this in manhunt and “[t]he average article/blog comment here has as much social relevance as a sex sonnet scrawled on a “Denny’s” bathroom wall”.
If I should take homophobic and bullying comments in a more lighthearted way, then shouldn’t you take comments and posts about barebacking in a more lighthhearted way and not speak out against those that participate in it? Why bother commenting at all? Or perhaps you just see bullying and internalized homophobia not really an important issue, not like barebacking.
The homophobic and derogatory comments are incredibly common here. This “kid” remembers when featuring manhunt members was a new topic for this blog, paired with fun questionnaire for the member to fill out. It quickly went south with commenters posting with derogatory statements like “gay face”. The feature was quickly fell from weekly, to monthly, then disappeared all together as no more members wanted to post themselves out there since all commenters did was lash out with homophobic insults.
Sit back and take the comments in stride if you want. Like I said, I’m going to speak out against comments I read as offensive just as I would do in person. Nothing lacks social relevance, it all depends on the connection you make to important issues. And intellectual importance isn’t limited, my appetite can accommodate ‘prime rib’ and urine soaked ‘cotton candy’ at any moment needed.
Wars aren’t won in a single battle, even the smallest of victories can make a difference. I’m that guy in the Denny’s stall writing criticism against homophobic graffiti with my trusty black sharpie.
You should always speak up & speak out when you feel a little insight is warranted. I obviously do it all the time. The difference is that I do so without allowing a wild tidal surge of moral outrage to be unleashed on a source that is rather unworthy of it. My comments are meant to gently & entertainingly re-direct the coarser attitudes of some of the less worldly commenters and bring them to a more enlightened place. That is all I expect to gain from whatever time I take to lend my voce to this circus-sideshow of social commentary. You’ll see it goes down alot easier if you view it from that perspective, kind sir.
We have two different views on voicing opinions for comments here. The more merrier, different tactics work for different folks. Moral outrage is going to happen when offended, as you can see, more than just myself lashed back against the comment.
Correct me if I’m I wrong but I don’t really see calling DeWitt “a snide brat” and comparing him to a “petulant teenage bitch lashing out at her fellow cheerleaders” as gently and entertainingly redirecting. Sounds more like name calling to entice an argument.
My comments may be full of tidal waves of moral outrage and I’m fine with that. I’m not going convince some guy I’ve never met to change his mind on the internet, it doesn’t work like that no matter what tactic I use. I voiced my opinion and attempt to draw attention to a topic I deem important. I would say this has been successful given the length of the discussion.
I agree with that. My own comments are meant to have a whimsical and provocative verbal swagger that cannot be interpreted from the typed version. We have already established that. My intent is toward a cutting, humorous sarcasm, which we have agreed is easily misinterpreted here. So me move honorably forward, I respect your authentic voice of insight as I hope you respect mine, and I hope you continue to be a social/ intellectual provocateur here as necessary. As we both have observed, coherent and compassionate minds on this blog are sadly in short supply.
Agreed. Until the next post that needs a whimsical, provocative, cutting, sarcastic reporter and an over zealous moral overlord dishing out relentless criticism against every insignificant comment then.
Good day to you madam.
You sir, are quite the gentleman. It was a pleasure sharing such a ‘passionate’ conversation with you.
TY
no about how to put a bitch in his place. now, heel dewitt
“Clever.”
That sounds like a very boring blog (though I imagine you’re just being facetious for dramatic effect).
