I think this is a basic golden rule thing. Just "don't be a dick." Honestly you should really delete the whole thing. That's so incredibly uncool I can't fathom that. If someone posted a pic of my loved one with a comment like that I would go ballistic.

Just delete and apologize. It's really the only acceptable option.

No, he's a coward for not having the sack to admit what a POS move that was, for not deleting it, and for doubling down on his mockery of this person by posting another misogynistic picture.

I don't think posting pics of his own family is some kind of justice, I think not being a dick to some stranger who has who knows what attachment to Markus or the program he claims to be a fan of is just common goddamn decency.

The pic was never necessary, the comments were certainly uncalled for, and instead of deleting and offering a simple mea culpa, rocket acts like he's the one being attacked then wimps out when called out. Have the simple human decency and integrity to admit when you're wrong. That is certainly not too much to ask.

Correct...and the truth is some folks have class and don't rip on people who never asked to have their pic put up on a public site...and others do and/or defend it.  Pretty easy for me to pick a side on that one.  This "chat board" has nothing to do with the woman pictured.

Title: Re: Where’s howard
Post by: rocket surgeon on April 29, 2018, 08:16:17 AM
Rocket, you’ve got no one to blame but you on this one. Be a man and own it.

i totally totally totally underestimated the response i would get from my initial post...duh, cuz obviously if i knew, i never would have posted it, right?  i did not post it with any malicious intent, but if the person in the pic behind marcus somehow visits scoop and sees this-i'm sorry for that as well.  if i knew how to delete the post, i would.  for those of you who want to tar and feather me along with my family, well those are your own issues.  if it would make you feel better, how revealing that would be.

  look, most of you here know me straight out as a decent guy. i'm a free thinker who tends to stretch the boundaries of decency at times-yes.  it is who i am.  i would never, in real life base my interactions with someone on whether or not they passed some sort of vanity guideline either.  my attempt at some levity here fell flat and i'm sorry for the "outrage" that followed

as many of you here on scoop who know me,  i'm a "content of ones character" guy and i would help out anyone regardless of their physical appearances.  but here, as i quickly found out,  i fell far short of that under my own estimations.   it is a funny world, one where we build and lose social capital so quickly.  the manner in which it occurs, i think is revealing. 
     not sure if this is what some here are looking for or if it will suffice as there will always be those who will bang away at others because they can.  we can only control what we can control; realize the difference

Click "modify" in the top right corner of the post.

After that, the backspace key is your friend.  You have to leave something, though, which is how "NM" got its illustrious start.

Sincerely, thank you for that. Sorry if I was a bit over the top as well, but I think this was necessary. Respect for this post.

How do Michelle Wolf's comments last night, on a national stage, sit with fellow Scoopers?

If you can't tell the difference between the WHCD, which is essentially an annual roast that public figures voluntarily attend, and calling out a random stranger on a public forum, then frankly I'm not sure I can help you. The two things are completely unrelated.

Wanna go ballistic, hurl "F" bombs and call a guy a coward for not posting pictures of his Grandma, Mom, aunts, wife, daughters and granddaughters (just so you can mock him/them)? Not so fine. Over the top, in fact..

You missed the point. No one here actually wants anyone to post pictures of their loved ones to be mocked. If someone was bold enough to actually do it, I would hope that everyone here would have enough character to not make disparaging comments about their fellow scoopers loved ones. If anyone did, I would be the first to call them out.

The point was that if its not something you would want happening to people you care about, why would you think its okay to do to someone else? One of the most basic rules of morality, treat others as you would treat yourself.

Respect Brother Rocket. We know the intent wasn't bad but it didn't have the impact you intended.

Nope. There is funny and then there is totally malicious and disrespectful. Wolf crossed the line.

An interesting question. I see both sides of it.

On one hand, Michelle Wolf is a professional comedian, who was paid to perform at a roast, who made jokes about about celebrities/public figures. Our society says the rules for public figures and celebrities are different, even the law treats them differently when it comes to first amendment protection. I think it's fair to say that it is a different situation than a random woman getting attacked for her looks on a basketball forum.

On the other hand, just because our society says that public figures/celebrities should be treated differently doesn't actually make it right/just. They are human beings as well with all the attached emotions, insecurities, and anxieties. Maybe we should strive to be better.

Given that Wolf is a professional who was paid to perform at a roast, it personally doesn't register very highly on my personal outrage scale. If it does for others, I'd understand why.
