I think Evonus is just fine
« on: February 26, 2007, 10:17:22 PM »
Okay, so he's illogical (while claiming to be logical), proudly mysogynistic, occasionally rather trollish, and clearly antagonistic to some regulars.

But the sheer fact that he has stuck around despite getting flak from all of us at one time or another says something to me about him.

I don't think he's a thunder3davis, who was just too stupid to realize he was the butt of all of our jokes.  He isn't a standard script kiddie who comes, demands help, flames when scorned, and vanishes.  He isn't a typical troll who just posts to see his own posts.  He has made some attempts at joining this community and is (in my opinion anyway) doing his damndest to fit in, no matter how much we tend to shred his posts and disagree with him.

For that persistence, I for one think that Evonus deserves to be treated like a regular.

A regular what is still up for discussion.  :)

He's the digital equivalent of those guys in the Greenpeace dingys getting hit with the hose on the whaling ships. I'm not entirely sure what they're doing, but damn if they aren't trying as hard as they can at it.

Look, I can deal with illogical.  Hell, I could even deal with clearly antagonistic and illogical, if that was it.  Proudly misogynistic, occasionally rather trollish and clearly antagonistic...well, that's another story.  Throw all this other stuff into the mix, and I'm out.  I respect your desire to treat him like a regular.  I do not share the same desire, and do not intend to treat him any different than I have been all along.

I think you turn him on when you treat him like that Vesp.

Or at least that's the only explanation I can come up with.  :-D

Persistant little cuss?

Honestly, I'm begining to think that he just has a twisted sense of humor.  Nothing wrong with that really.  I've been accused of the same thing.  He just takes it to a whole new level.  Or maybe down to a new level.

To each their own opinion. Most people consider me overly logical. Maybe it's just because of the topics largely discussed here have shown a very narrow side of me thus far.

proudly mysogynistic,

This part is honestly a long running gag I have. I'm not really a misogynist. Most women that know me in real life think I'm nice. I just make sexist jokes because I find them more amusing than many other types of jokes, and it's funny to watch the feminists get bent out of shape over it.

Quote

I have no defense here.

No more antagonistic than many of them are to me.

Most people tell me I have the most warped and twisted sense of humor out of anyone they've ever met. That's probably the case in most areas. I even tend to turn my sense of humor down or off when I first meet people because I don't want to scare them off.  :evil:

Misogyny has nothing to do with what women think of you, and everything to do with what you think of women.

The fact that he cares what women think means he isn't a true misogynist.

Evonus: I approve.

Where did he state that?

All he said is that some women he knows think he's nice, not that he gives a rat's about it.

Besides, plenty of mysogynists are liked -- and even loved -- by women, and some of those mysogynists enjoy being loved by women.

I'm a woman, and I love misogynists.

He didn't SAY it, but given previous posts of his (not necessarily in this thread) and just knowing him, it's obvious that he gives some credit to women's opinions.

You're right that was poorly worded. However, ihatecliches is correct, the point I was trying to get across is that I do care what women think, basically just as much as I care what other guys think. I'm not going to live my life so that I meet other peoples expectations and desires (Unless it's at work and said constraints are imposed by my boss), but I'm not going to just ignore someones opinions because they have different reproductive organs than myself.

P.S. I can't believe someone is actually defending my statements besides me.  :-o
