Richard Dawkins: ‘It Would Be Immoral’ to Give Birth to A Child with Down’s Syndrome

205. I know what a meme is.

"Wow, just wow" is a good example. It's a meme adopted by a small subgroup that is used to mock a whole other group. It was stated once, by one person, but picked up as a way to derisively dismiss a whole group. It's juvenile.

My problematic behavior and hypocrisy? Tone policing is a "meme" and there is no justification for it other than to push an idea that will put others down without needing further justification. The definition seems to be anything I say that is critical of what others say.

You know what isn't a meme, but is very problematic behavior? Talking about people behind their back and in places where they will not respond to you. You know what is a meme? Saying that your mere presence sends people into fits and that you offer olive branches that are thrown back in your face.

Show me a fit caused by your mere presence. Show me an example of you offering an olive branch, let alone one that has been snapped and thrown back in your face.

Some here are driven by memes and continuously repeat them without having any real knowledge of the source or whether it can be verified. Are you part of that group?

Now, let's say we stop making this personal. If you can't have a discussion with me without repeated the same tired things about my problematic behavior, hypocrisy, tone policing and on and on and on, I don't think we have anywhere to go with this.

Your decision at this point, but I'm about done.
