Cathy wrote in another thread that BadGolferMan is prejudiced.
Well, I don't know for sure.
But I like Natalie and I like BadGolferMan, so I hope
BadGolferMan is not prejudiced. I do not read everything
he writes, especially the off-topic material, but he does not
strike me as a hateful person. If he is prejudiced, I would
hope he would consider that a failing and something to work on
to improve himself.
BGM seems like a good guy to me, although our politics are
completely different.
About the topic in this thread, about "a list of lines in
Star Wars movies that have ***ual connotations but aren't
meant that way."
It is very easy to interpret something written by an author
in a manner the author did not intend.
For example, I wrote something a couple weeks ago about seeing
"black scuff marks where the wheel and hub mate." Now it
would have been very easy to interpret a hidden racial
meaning in that, although absolutely none was intended.
It's a case of reading too much into what an author writes.
The scuff marks could have been purple or white, but they
weren't. They happened to be black. And it is common to
refer to the the area where the hub and wheel meet as where
they mate. Just like where the "transmission and engine mate."
So no racial meaning should have been interpreted into
what I wrote.
Here is my full quote from a couple weeks ago:
"Yes, I carefully examined the mating surfaces of both the
hubs and the wheels. Very, very little rust on the hubs
and close to none on the wheels. The white-looking hubs did
show some black scuff marks where the inner wheels mated
with them, but that's about it. The black-colored inner
wheel mating surfaces were scuffed a bit, too, but the
scuffs took on a bare metal appearance. Just
about no brown rust where the wheels and hubs mate.
It all looked pretty good to me." [End of my quote]
I think some of you know me a little better. If I have
something to say, I will come out and say it, directly.
I won't couch it between the lines.
I happened to read a good piece of advice somewhere that
concerned online chatting. The advice was not to think
someone is insinuating something because they very well might
not be. It's just too easy to misinterpret something that
is written online, and to take it the wrong way, especially
when face-to-face visual clues aren't possible online.
