[The Real Slim Shady]

Right, but surely there should be some OC in the POST, else what's stopping me from just uploading .pdf's of ebooks on c++ and just saying "yeah i didn't write these but here." like i feel Megan could do better as he isn't stupid.

Many people do this... in fact there is a whole section dedicated to just that purpose. While you don't want every post to be a leak/share - thats not to say that sharing a link or photo or book cannot be useful to the community.

I'm not sure if this was a joke or mistake.

Either way it's disrespectful and you should learn how to communicate without sounding like an uneducated retard trying to be edgy.

Also personal questions like this should be asked via personal communication such as PM's.

It's a valid question. The person he responded to used a masculine identifier whereas her name/nick and photo are both feminine.

Furthermore, you referred to Megan as a he - which could also be considered disrespectful and uneducated considering "she" openly claims to be a trans/woman and identifies as a woman.

Personally - I think this gender crap is stupid. If you've got a cock you're a male. If you've got a pussy you're a female. Your sex is a physical trait. Gender is a psychological trait. I think it's stupid to make words like he/she/him/her ambiguous by referring to 2 completely different states of being. A woman who is physically and psychologically a woman is not the same thing as a man who is physically a man and psychologically a woman. There needs to be better terminology/expressions if this crap is going to continue. a 3rd and/or forth gender perhaps.

Right while i agree, in my defense i called @Megan a 'he' before we spoke via skype and she explained she was legally a women. and preferred to be called a 'she'.

Which isn't really much of a defense considering you went off on the other dude about being a disrespectful and uneducated retard for pointing out that a person who goes by megan with a feminine picture may not want to be called a "he"...

So I would argue that you were being a greater disrespectful and uneducated retard if that is the measure you want to go by. maybe you know better now - but I get the impression that your abusive response was after you spoke with Megan... and definitely after she posted what she prefers. which still makes you a cunt for jumping on him for not knowing her preference and pointing out that it may not be "he".

Do you really think there isn't a difference between calling someone a he or she and an "IT"? also once again this was before i even spoke to megan, and she informed me the guy was a troll anyway.

Huh?? No one called her an it??

Is English your second language? "It" in that context refers to the subject of the sentence. The subject being the proper pronoun to use in that context, Megan herself was not the subject of the sentence...

I'm closing this thread because it's gone way off topic, if you two want to continue to argue semantics then make another thread or PM eachother.
