    As it stands, you obsess over them just as much as if you were a member of the KKK.

    You have some very strange ideas, my friend. What do you imagine my day-to-day life to be like? How often do you think I tell people that we should all piss on the graves of confederates? Hourly? Daily? Monthly?

    Don’t you think that it’s more likely that me defending pissing on the graves of Confederates has much more to do with the fact that I’m responding in a thread that was specifically about pissing on their graves?

    I mean, for fuck’s sake; I didn’t even make the thread. If anything, PugJesus would be the obsessed one; he made the fucking thread, after all.

    Is it that you think that I’m obsessed with the concept because I’ve made several replies in this thread? Well… I’ve made several replies in a lot of different threads. Usually, when someone replies to me, I will reply back. That’s just how forums and communication in general work. Do you not do that? Careful! Better not reply to me, or I’ll assume you’re obsessed with me!

      Your strident defense of the joke and replies to others is the indication you are in strong agreement with the “joke”. What else is anyone reading your replies supposed to think? That you don’t care about it at all?

        Yes, I am! Congratulations for understanding basic contextual clues!

        I’m not sure how that makes me obsessed with it, though, as you initially suggested. I mean, it’s a bit of a stretch to go from pointing out that I agree with the meme to:

        you obsess over them just as much as if you were a member of the KKK.

        Or were you just being hyperbolic in some weird attempt to shame me for thinking that evil people deserve to have their graves pissed on?

          A bit perhaps. But mostly just pointing out the silliness of it all. Whatever point you are tying to make is lost on them. As I said, the stones and the remains that lie beneath them do not care about your opinion of them - and they never did even in life. And making a big deal out them now only serves to keep the memories alive.

            Do you think that I think that the scant remains of people who have been dead for ~160 years give a shit about whether people piss on their graves? Because I can assure you, I do not. I have never argued that pissing on someone’s grave is a way of punishing them; that’s an incredibly stupid thing to say, and as a rule, I try to not say incredibly stupid things. But pissing on someone’s grave is a great bit of catharsis for the pisser, especially if the pissee was an evil motherfucker.

            And making a big deal out them now only serves to keep the memories alive.

            Ah yes. People pissing on Confederate graves is what is keeping alive the memories of the confederacy. Not the statues or the people with the confederate flags, or the politicians currently in congress who believe that Robert E. Lee was a founding father. Nope, none of that does, but pissing on the graves, yeah. That’s the real ticket.

            So a couple of sentences back, when I said that I try to not say incredibly stupid things? Maybe you should make that same effort going forward.
