Maduro calls Venezuela opposition "heirs of Hitler"

[MADem]

151. You really want me to comment on the specific use of the term "wanker?"

Of course I know what a wanker is; I lived in UK for years, where the term was commonly employed. For anyone reading along who is clueless to the meaning, I invite their attention here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanker

I think you reap what you sow--is that specific enough for you? You brought on the comments with your snark and rudeness. It was apparent early on that you didn't intend to respond substantively to questions about Maduro's Hitlerian remarks; instead, you lashed out with distractions and rudeness.

It's not a "bigoted slur" to call someone a wanker (it's beyond me how the behavior of wanking, or the state of being a wanker, can be construed as bigotry, FWIW). It's an activity that is common, one that no one likes to talk about, and if one does it too much, one might go blind, according to granny. That said, in the context of this thread, it was used to suggest that you were behaving both stupidly and uncivilly.

If the comment were to be cleaned up to "G" rating standards, I'd say that the intent behind calling you a "wanker" was to suggest that you were chain-jerking, i.e. borderline trolling.

The comment wasn't literally about you or your penis, if that's what concerns you. I think you already know that, though.
