Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

[Glocktogo]

I always have, and still do, support being vocal. I certainly won't support personal attacks as a way of interaction, instead suggesting we stick to the discussing and attacking of ideas. On that note, you're still guessing at my intent, and still wrong about it.

After 6 pages of not addressing the elephant in the room, most of us are feeling like the intent is this:

You may feel otherwise, but you're utterly ineffective at conveying your message if you do.

Vague posts seeking attention, but then doesn't want to talk about it. Sounds like drama queens in college and high school.

Well I'll have to take you for your word then. Question........why allow someone to be able question the intent? Your thread title and post content seem pretty clear. The difference between "ideas" and "personal beliefs" presented by an individual(in the other threads about Muslims) are like splitting hairs. So with that, what's the intent that you're trying to portray if not my previous perception?

Continue to focus on me, while ignoring the topic of the thread, and we'll continue to be stuck in the mud on the wrong road.

This forum has been overwhelmingly over-run with textbook examples of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. Great job guys. You are representing the shooting and hunting community well.

The bold portion, in the real world, is called a "do better speech". The "topic presented" in the first post is directed to OSA members and their comments and that OSA members are a poor example because they state their ideas or beliefs. Just as you have in this thread, and there is nothing wrong with doing so, you or them. The wrong is the scolding from a mod/member for a differing idea/belief, which you did, I even put it in bold so you can see it clearly...........that was my clear intent of "bolding" it for you, so there would be no misunderstanding as to why I put it in bold.

...The "topic presented" in the first post is directed to OSA members and their comments and that many (not all) OSA members are a poor example because they display unacceptable levels of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination...

Fixed it for you, in large red font.

 

[Okie4570]

So it is about "some" OSA members displaying what you believe is unacceptable, and not just general discussion about the thread title.........thanks for putting that in red and clearing that up.......

 

[YukonGlocker]

No. That was simply to highlight your incorrect characterization that this thread is about members stating their ideas or beliefs. It is not.
