Nope. Not at all. I never *admonished* anyone. Nor did I suggest that one be tolerant of insensitivity, but instead, realize that if one is insensitive, it may not be deliberate cruelty as BainsBane has suggested. Many, many times. Key word: *deliberate*.
Also:
"According to your post, "cultural indoctrination" allows one to treat others with disregard and cruelty, but those on the receiving end of that cruelty must respond with patience and a desire to "educate." "
I certainly didn't say that either.
And this:
"Here's the answer: No. Grow up. Educate yourself. Your ignorance is not my responsibility.
Take your double standard and shove it."
Did you intend to be cruel, intolerant, hurtful, or just mindlessly insensitive when you said that I was immature, uneducated, ignorant, and harbored a double standard? Just wondering.
