Probstein Magie listing

[jchcollins]

Here’s another example. Because I clicked on Probstein in this thread, eBay now wants to sell me this:

Look, I have no horse in this race (riot), and have no interest in getting wrath for speaking up, but when someone refers to a beanie, the immediate thought has always been using it to compare (read: insult) someone to a little, clueless kid wearing a propeller on his hat...a genericized beanie.

I checked Wikipedia for the hell of it and the listing is Beanie (seamed cap). Can't find anything about Judaism there.

Color me confused about the anger flying here.

beenie = beanie = antisemitic (read = yamaka)

One of the more fortunate and educational aspects of my childhood and youth was growing up in a VERY diverse neighborhood...Catholics, Protestants, and Jewish. And we all got along. That is, except for the eventualities that are bound to arise from time to time with a bunch of dumbass kids. One day, in anger and stupidity over something nonsensical, I made the stupid mistake of calling one of my best friends the aforementioned "beanie boy". After having my butt royally kicked, he didn't speak to me for about a week. I deserved everything I got. He eventually forgave me, and life went on, until some new crisis came along within our crew.

Seems pretty obvious it was in reference to Probstein's religious headwear he usually wears. Seems pretty plain that he should be criticized on legitimate grounds (like the shilling and fake cards) and that this is not legitimate but clearly over the line and inappropriate. I'm see it's going to be spun and excused with a non-apology plea of ignorance, but it's quite a stretch to pretend it's not what it clearly was.

Well, then go fuck yourself, Mr. Argumentative.
I'm not spinning anything. How in hell would I know what headgear some guy who I only know via references to his name on Net54 wears? Obviously, I don't.
Now I'm going to go cry, because some random internet clown who spends 24 hours a day bitching at everyone doesn't like me. Boo hoo hoo.

I think most of us have seen Probstein. He's pretty well known in this community. If you have never seen him and this was news, this should now make sense and the explanation should not make you throw a little bitch fit? I guess not.

The spinning non-apology was about Fuddjcal's comment after unbanning.

Good job though, you managed not to be a racist prick, so you're above some of this thread.

I don't think he was accusing YOU of spinning the situation.

Correct. JollyElm, as a third party who didn't make the comment, would be nonsensical to accuse of "

. As a third party who didn't say it, it makes no sense at all that an apology would be expected from him for anything. Only the person who made the racist comments would be expected to apologize.






Perhaps the next fit will be over something reasonable. So far this week we have 1 because I was against shooting people or drawing guns over non-minor card show thefts and 1 because I wrote against anti-semitic racism. I can't wait to see if the next fit even approaches the realm of the reasonable. We can do it if we try really hard, team!
