Greetings...
John Kinsella
Recently I have noticed when people see me in public, they're not quite
sure how to act. I always love to interact with my fans, but sometimes
propper ettique needs to be followed. Therefore, I am providing the
following guidelines. Please determine which category you fit into, and
then take note on how to respond when you first see me. As always, I
look forward to interacting with you in the future, and may God bless
you all!
For those who do not yet know what I look like, you can view me in all
my glory in the following picture:
http://www.itd.ucdavis.edu/~johnk/pictures/bluecue1.jpg
I'm the guy with his arm around the cute girl. Some day, you too may be
lucky enough to join these people in celebrating my presence, as they do
in this picture.
If you have not met me in person before: From a distance, scream
loudly, "OH MY GOD, IT'S JOHN KINSELLA!!!!" After approaching me, I will
probably be willing to sign an autograph, if I am not drunk or in a hurry.
If you are a dog: Trot up to my happily. If it looks like I want to
pet you or scratch you on the head, wander close enough for me to do so.
If I am wearing dark clothing, do not rub against me. Do not under any
circumstance, dribble or slobber.
If you are a female teenager: Faint.
If you are a male teenager: Do not approach, but notice from a distance
how cool I am. Notice how you need to improve yourself to be more like
me. Revive your girlfriend who just passed out.
If you are a network 21 official who is about to tell me that a 100TX
port will cost me $200 a month: Start running.
If you are an attractive female in her early 20s:
If the girl in the above picture is not around: Run up to me, crying
"John, you are so wonderful!" and jump on me, showering me with all
sorts of attention.
If the girl in the above picture is nearby: Walk up to me casually,
wait until the girl is not looking, and give me your phone number.
If you are a friend of mine, one who all the others are jealous of: Do
not mention the animal science thing when others are nearby.
If you are a security guard or peace officer: Say "Oh, it's *you*, John."
If you are somebody I don't like: Don't say anything, for fear that
everybody around you who is lucky enough to be liked by me will start to
abuse you if you do say something.
If you are an undergraduate computer science major: Kneel down before
me, and begin to cry "I'm not worthy!" Aftera few moments, I will allow
you to rise and kiss the hands which produce such extrodinary works of
art from a computer.
If you are a lurker on this group: Stand quietly in a shadow, watching
from a distance, for people cannot know that you actually do know me,
more intimately than anybody could ever dream of knowing me, even though
you have never met me.

You need to realize that a girl doesn't have to have dred-locks, rings
around her neck, and have bone sticking of her nose for her to be attractive.

If you don't want me to say stupid stuff, then don't you go saying

But thanks for the heads up about getting ill...I'll have her tested.

My point was that making fun of someone for being white (i.e.
"casperette") is just as bad as making fun of someone because they're
black.

Yeah, right. Would you kick someone's ass for calling you a honkey?

No, I wouldn't, but only because I'm basically a pacifist. It would,

If I may play Devil's Advocate (and who, you may ask, is going to
stop me?), I wholeheartedly disagree with your assertion. The traditional
relationship between "blacks" and "whites" has been one of power and
control by the former over the latter. Making fun of someone for being a
member of a group that is in power (e.g., your boss) is entirely different
from making fun of someone who is a member of a group that is not in power
(e.g., your employees). Doing one makes you a victim; doing the other
makes you a bully.
I respectfully submit that those who have had every advantage in
life by virtue of their skin color should be somewhat more tolerant of the
racist commentary of those who have been denied opportunities and/or
persecuted by virtue of their skin color. Indeed, I have always
considered it a compliment when someone criticizes me simply because that
person thinks that I am more fortunate than he or she is. The truth is
that anyone who succeeds at anything worthwhile must overcome tremendous
disappointment and hardship; there's very little hope for those who don't
realize that.

I think that if someone called me 'cracker,' 'honkey,' etc, I would probably
laugh. For me, names are just names, labels are labels. Someone could say
"white guy" and be just as offensive as can be, using tone and general
expression. I've had friends call me 'fucker' in a friendly manner.
What I'm called doesn't change my sense of self-worth - that, thankfully,
comes from within.

The way I read Ola's response to the racist remark was * Why say such
stuff, how would you like it if I returned comment in kind about your
color?* His response was quite civiI. Much more restrained than I
expected it to be. I find it hard to take offense at the use of the
slang word *casperette* while making reference to my pale skin color.
It's pretty funny if not accurate.

You guys: KINSELLA STARTED THE RACIST STUFF. (In a very offensive

To rehash for those of you who just want to jump on in and take a swing:
Ola said he didn't think the girl in the picture was cute and Kinsella
started heaping racist abuse on Ola.
Interesting the hostility that saying a girlfriend isn't cute generates.
Particularly in the light of a recent thread in which numerous people on
this newsgroup posted, expressing disdain that women are self conscious
about our appearances. And yet from most of the postings on this
newsgroup one might think that women's appearances are of the
most supreme importance to you...
You human beings sure are inconsistent. Very Illogical. And most
