A. Caveman making comments that can be misunderstood as offensive

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
You know the 11 AM eastern time doesn't allow us west coast people who like our sleep to read the thread tommorrow. How about 11 AM PST??? I could set my alarm.

PS

But A.Caveman's remarks were obviously racist. I don't think it's any fault of Jmejia that A.Caveman made those racist remarks. Spare us the redundance of me pulling up his exact quotes again.••••So that's not saying he is a racist????

I just wanted to say that this is getting tiring. Let it go my peeps. We shall all live to see another day. I also just wanted to say hi to Jalbrekt's mom! Hello there! Welcome to SDN! 😀

PS. HI JALBREKT'S MOM. I WONDER WHAT YOU THINK. LET ME KNOW
 
Race card? now sympathy card? <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" /> You guys are great! I'm cracking up over here. Sheeeew! This stuff is better than HBO. It ain't T.V, it ain't even HBO, It's S, D, f'ing N. 😀

Hey guys! at least something good eventually came out of this thread. Check out my new SDN signature.

Wow...this post exploded over night. After reading everything I have to say my last words. I'm new to SDN, but have been thrown to the wolves and just jumped right into the thick of things. I learned all I need to know about Original and Caveman over night. First, Caveman you're cool dude, very cool. I realize you are not like this in "real life", but amongst all the learning and helping each other that this board offers you break the monotony and let us laugh a bit. Scooby and Papa also, so props to you boys also for making me and others laugh. Original on the other hand, very disappointing...tisk tisk....very disappointing. First I thought that you just didn't get it, but then I learned you got it but just couldn't sell it. You understood clear as the day that Caveman was not making racist comments, but you played stupid forever and attempted to smear his name. Bad, very bad. Then you proceeded to prove yourself a hypocrite by saying you never called him a racist. Even worse. Then you tossed in the "I'm a mathematical god" line leading me to believe you were going to pop some abstract equations or theories out of your a$$ actually proving him a racist. But in the end I believe you were just tooting your own horn. And wishing you could read his personal statement...tisk, tisk...just pathetic. Have you not learned what I learned in a few seconds by simply reading Caveman discuss himself. He's trying to have fun (you do know what that is right?) and break up the monotony here, and he's pretty successful at it. He makes people laugh by his comments, all the while admitting he is not like this in real life. I and everyone else are 100% positive his personal statement would not even remotely resemble the tone of what he says here. And then you proceeded to make a stab at Trek, and then back up and cover it up. I can't stand seeing your litle smiley faces that you toss in to attmept to cover your true feelings and words. Dude, this is the internet, say it like it is and do not even attempt to be sly and cover your true feelings because I learned very, very quick to see right through it. What the funniest thing of this whole thread is that you wasted so much time trying to smear Caveman's reputation, but in the process you ruined your own. Aight, I'm out like a fat kid in dodge ball
 
oops! I am finished, my "reputation" is ruined. <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" /> . Fact of the matter is I indeed didn't call him racist; but still stick by my accusation that his comments were racist. You may not like hearing the word "racist"; but like it or not, it's a real problem several have to contend with on a daily basis in this country. It's B.S to actively perpetrate the idea that it's cool to say whatever pops in one's head with complete disregrad for the feeling of others. Caveman seems to have made that his life's goal, and I was genuinely curious about how that fits into medicine. What's really disappointing is that it seems there are a ****-load of Cavemen on this site but Cavey unfortunately being the only vocal one, gets all the negative wrap. Oh well. What can I say, I'm just an observant by-stander enjoying the drama that is America. Peace! I'm out like a puff of smoke. hee hee 😀

While you are there EAT all the jalof rice and all the other "real" food you can. Also please help me smuggle back some cold cold Fanta...... 😀 Also some emu (palm wine)

Don't pay attention to all the ajepaki nonsense ti awon we're yi so! Mo mo any better :wink:
Lo check out photo me! LOL- sepe sepe figure 8..sepe sepe (do you know that song? I think it's by sunny ade)
 
Caveman,

In that last post I addressed to you; it had a purpose for others.

In it, I made slanerous(is that a word?) comments about you and your maturity level. I do actually agree with most people in that your comment was not racist or intended to be inflamatory.

The point was, I made negative comments about you, you read them and it pissed you off(I assume), but my intentions were different, I only wanted to show something to people.

Nobody knoew my intention, even though it seemed obvious that i was merely slamming you. the lesson is this: before people get all upset or start smearing somebody's name, ask them to clarify their point or intention. Written language is often misunderstood because it communicates without the benefit of visual expressions. with the statement i made, nobody could tell if I was laughing, yelling, frowning, or just making it up to use as an example as i was.

Granted, you might benefit from incorporating a little more sensitivity to people new to the premed process, but surely many people over reacted to your inflamatory comment that was intended to be a joke.

That said, i hope my point is conveyed.

Original.....I am not trying to even get into whatever beef/pork/chicken/shrimp you got going on with caveman.....what goes on between you two should stay where it belongs...in the bedroom <img border="0" alt="[Lovey]" title="" src="graemlins/lovey.gif" /> . I am just an innocent bystander. 😀
 
Since it's now clear that Caveman was a scape-goat (sacrificial lamb), I'm drafting him an official apology. Several share your sentiments but watch in silence. I don't think anyone should be bashed for speaking their mind, especially when it mirrors the minds of several. I am sorry for all the bad things I said about you. Are we cool? 🙂
 
I also want to submit my official appologies to Trek, Jalbrekt, and Matthew. I was out of line with you guys last night; and didn't really mean any of the things I said. I'm sorry if I was having fun at your expenses. Blame it on the Caveman--it's contagious--(j/k). Ma bad. we cool? holler. 🙂

I should have known you were just full of $hit. I find your phony apology offensive and a racist comment! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> 😀 🙂 :clap: :clap:
 
Joseph Reses:

Immaturity, "fun", and games aside, my apology is sincere. I'm apologizing for any PERSONAL attacks I might have made, but I still diagree with A.Caveman. I'm not claiming hollier-than-thouhood, but I'm apalled by the number of people that hold up A.Caveman's abrasive side as their alter ego. So it seems to me that if an innocent person walks up to several SDNers with a genuine question; they would only answer the question so as to be PC. But on the inside they'll rather yell at the person and call them names. That is just plain sad.

Too many people are confusing being abrasive with being vocal. One can be vocal and voice their opinions often without hurling insults and curses out at everyone and everything. Some of the most vocal people I know also happen to be some of the nicest. I hope this turns out to be the medicine that cures my SDN addiction.

Peace out!

FLY! that's part of why I put you on my favorite SDNers list in the lounge. Though this is not a fair match-up. Bruce Lee will kick Ali's arse. He wouldn't even see Bruce Lee throughout the fight. But he'll surely know Bruce Lee is around 😀 . A fairer match would be to tie both of them down within arms length of each other. <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" />

[/QB]••••Assuming it's possible that some things DO really sadden you, and that you're not just filling everyone up with your bullsht in an attempt to regain some respectability, I will take your comment seriously and answer it. Why will i do it Original? because when someone has a sincere need to know something, I feel responsible for answering their questions if i can. being that this is a serious question you appear to have, i will answer you accordingly.

Nobody wastes their time trying to be PC on an internet message board. most people here are REAL. there are some uptight nerds that still hold back here and don't show their true personality (which includes the good, the bad, and the ugly--and the beautiful). When someone has a question, it's answered out of the goodness of a person's heart. not to be PC. you don't really believe that, which leads me to believe you're full of **** and weren't being serious, or bringing a serious concern to light. you were just trying to continue being deflamatory. BUT, i will still assume you weren't and keep answering you.

When a person's question doesn't seem that important, i tell them so (whether it's through a joke, or by telling them to search for it because it's been discussed a million times). when i tell them to search for it, i am helping them btw. so much more info exists that has already been written than the amount of info that person can get off of one thread, that i feel like i'm doing them a favor by even posting "do a search." which is why i post "do a search"--because i DO want to help. if somebody doesn't care, they're not gonna answer it to be PC because they think maybe somebody is keeping track. in fact, the more i try to answer your "question" the more stupid i realize that it is. this was not a true concern of yours. although i've tried to avoid it, i've concluded that you were and still are full of ****.

NOTE: i did try to help, before i realized you didn't need any. you're like the guy in those movies, who's about to fall off a building, and you reach up for help because your fingers are slipping, and somebody like me comes to help, and you just pull them off with you, smiling with a sense of satisfaction, the entire plummet down....

is that enough drama for you. <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" /> . you're that guy original.

PS. i'm bruce Lee about to kick your ass. you cannot be rehabilitated. This 'love affair' is over!!!!!
 
This looks like a great thread to read on a rainy day... 😀
 
A.Caveman:
The entire teatrise just for me? I'm flattered. I'm even blushing 😀 . This has been your most polite and positive post yet. There is still hope!

~aluta continua!
 
i just tried to redirect your thoughts, because i actually believed you thought people were like that. as i went on though, i realized i was explaining an obvious point. it was just for you though, but it wasn't worth my time.
 
I suggest getting A. Caveman and Original a private room since they seem to be getting all cozy with each other! 😀

Joe
 
Caveman,

If a question doesn't seem important to you, why not just "say nothing?" If someone is asking a question then it is obviously important to them. This way you don't come across as such a nasty person. Just an option to think about.
 
jeeez!!!!wuts going on here damn is this forum about insulting each other .. i dont know i am confused and that last person who was saying something to that cave guy .. u r right i guess.. sorry guys ..relax..plzzzzzzzzzz....***** or no ***** .. just try to be a human being ..

listen...caveman...with all due respect...you know watcha...he never dispenses judgement on people, and he always wants to be fair..

yes granted you said you didn't mean it as an insult...yes you were TRYING to be funny...but don't you see that some people DID take offense, and that some pple WERE innocently asking a SIMPLE QUESTION....

I don't think your racist, but people WERE offended...why won't you just let it go, and instead of wasting your own valuable time, say three words, that will end this thread for all....

"I am sorry"

it takes more of a man to apologize, (EVEN IF U FEEL U HAVENT DONE ANYTHING WRONG)....than to just try to "defend" your position....yes your right, you feel you haven't "done anything wrong" BUT, out of respect for other pple...just say those damn three words and let this thread die!

SIGH

<img border="0" alt="[Pity]" title="" src="graemlins/pity.gif" />
 
I can't believe this all happened when I was away. Geez, go away for three days, and all hell breaks loose.

Anyway, IMHO, the comment was definitely very rude. It could be rascist, although it all depends on what he meant by it. It was certainly stupid.
