I think its a perfectly fair comparison, as, in that context, it is simply a word that Lou would find offensive.
Angel Girl finds her name next to the word Antichrist offensive.And, I think that, seeing as this entire thread is discussing a post that was TO Angel Girl, she has every right to point out how she feels to any post in the thread. Infact, unless someone has asked someone NOT to post to them, anyone can leap in at anytime with a comment, on any thread.

That's a matter of personal belief, surely? Noncorporeal maybe, or nontangible, or maybe not. Less corporeal or less tangible than Nazis certainly. But "imaginary" appears to form a conclusion about another person's belief system.

This thread is about a post that was directed at Angel Girl. Yes?
But, around here, like I said, anyone can jump in at any time in any thread. Aslong as you have not been asked to post to someone in specific.

I don't know anything about belief systems.
I do know Nazi's are/were real.

>Sorry for the intrusion but it is quite common for others to chime in on the conversation and with all due respect I would like an answer to my question. I have promised Dr Bob I will be on my best behaviour so I am not going to get into a fight with you, I would just like clarification on your comment.

I find it exceedingly tiresome when people constantly cry "foul" but AngelGirls not like that. And besides how can you know what really cuts someone to the quick especially in a place like this. Everywhere else, yes I tend to agree with you, if someone picks apart my language for hints of political incorrectness, I see it as another form of prejudice, or as a shallow identity they've decided to adopt for a time, and it does offend me. Sometimes though, I think people write genuine feelings off as rabid political correctness and I don't think there is any more substance to the thought put into that reaction than there is to superficial correctness.

GabbixThank you for understanding my pain even though our beliefs are not the same. I like that you know me well enough to know that my pain was and is real.

GabbixThank you once again for your kindness and support. The above comment did lead me to feel hurt but I chose not to respond to it at the time.
