That you even engage in the “member of Mensa” routine proves only that you’re at least somewhat emotionally dim. (I had thought that particular trick had been driven off the Internet more than a decade ago.)

I also quite enjoy the use of “we at FFF.net” as if I’ve somehow disparaged the entire community there. It’s a clever trick, but is such bullshit that I’m sure most people — including most FFF.net people — can smell it a mile away.

All writers, to one degree or another, are in love with the sounds of their own voices. Of course, the three years I spent as a major player in the coverage of Portland politics suggests that some other people have been at least in like with mine as well.

You are obviously in love with the sound of your own voice and the sight of your own words. It is absolutely revolting how supercilious you are.

I take it you think that you are smarter than the rest of us? Otherwise you wouldn’t assume that we at FFF.net were too stupid to understand how charitable fund raising works.

You seem to be up on a pedestal of your own making. I suggest you stay there. You would never make it in the real world. May I suggest that your employment problems would end if you removed your head from your ass?

Oh and before you tell me that I don’t read well, or don’t understand – let me explain – I read well in 5 languages and am a Mensa member. And I surely know a dick when I see one.

You don’t read very well, do you…

…And you don’t know any Jewish people, do you? Schmuck is Yiddish for ‘dick’, which I’d already opined you were. Strangely, calling you a ‘dick’ did not offend you; but calling you a schmuck did. Very interesting.

Since having read your commentaries here, which you defended on FFFn as being purely private musings (then why did you link to them on your public site?), I have gone on to read your comments on Whedonesque, as well. As a consequence, I have been forced to reevaluate my original impression of you.

You, sir, are an elitist prick. “Furious nads!” indeed. What a pair you’ve got! You honestly think you’re better than other people. This notion you have in your head that the ‘little people’ couldn’t possibly understand that charity events are really intended for the upper crust of society — and much more important than fans wanting more Firefly-based entertainment — is not only insulting, it’s revolting. How do you sleep at night?

So that’s what you fear? That working stiffs wanting more Firefly will spoil the pate at your shindig? “Do you mind if I call you Ath?”

As you stated on Whedonesque, your target audience for the Equality Now benefit screenings won’t have many (if any) rank-and-file Browncoats, but rather lots of influential nabobs (ooh! another word you’ll doubtless misinterpret) looking for a tax write-off.

Then you summed up:

…I’ll leave it to others to decide which one of those stories is one closer to a story about schmucks, if that’s the word we’re going to be tossing aorund.

First, it’s a bad idea to use the words ‘schmucks’ and ‘tossing’ in the same sentence: Someone with a sense of humor might wander in, and how would that reflect on you?

Tell you what though, sport. Why don’t you just admit that you’re not the only one whose life has worth. And I mean really accept that notion into your heart. Are you familiar with the actual concept of Charity, or only of fundraisers?

Anytime you feel up to a debate on the issues, name the time and place. Someplace public. High noon-ish.

It changes the story from one about raising funds for and awareness of Equality Now, to one about merely trying to get a Serenity sequel.

I’ll leave it to others to decide which one of those stories is one closer to a story about schmucks, if that’s the word we’re going to be tossing aorund.

You, sir, are a dick. On the positive side, though, it is attitudes like yours that eloquently prove why a male-dominated society is so evil: You can’t resist the call of your own ambition for even a second. What we truly need in order to accomplish the goals of a fine organization like Equality Now, is an environment of sharing and non-competitiveness.

So, thanks for the reverse-example of those ideals, *schmuck*.

Disrespectfully,

P.S.
You can explain to Equality Now why I will be avoiding “your” events like the plague they are, and encouraging everyone else to read your despicable opinions and do likewise. Or you can come down off your high horse and apologize to those other groups and their efforts, which you’ve slandered (of which, I am not a member). I’ll be over at FFFn, as always, should you decide to use that lump two feet above your ass for something other than a hat rack.

I feel kinda shitty for linking this the other day. At the time, I didn’t realize they were at odds with b!X and his Can’t Stop The Serenity campaign. Let me be clear that I’m with b!X on this, but I can’t help but think there’s a way to turn this arou…
