in reply to a message by Algernon
So, you hate Martin Luther King Jr. That much is pretty clear. Do you also hate black people and begrudge them their civil rights? I think this may be why people are getting upset - they are assuming you are racist because of your apologetic contempt for a man that embodies the freedom of African-American people (whether he had a perfect character or not, this we must admit).
Your arguments are well-phrased but are coming across as a thinly veiled, highly intellectualized statement of racism (yes, we can see how smart you are, or think yourself to be), which is most likely why people are responding to you harshly.

The post is in reference to the name Luther, and my opinion thereof. Because the name has connotations with such deplorable characters it is part of my opinion on the name. I do not care about race. I do not care about civil rights. I do not care about people. I am very amused by how well people are reacting to my comment- all I am trying to do is to defend my opinion of a name. I did not realize that a forum of onomasts would be so replete with people who simply cannot read an argument as it is intended to be.

So....
"I do not care about civil rights."
"I do not care about people."
Thank you for further justifying my already quite negative opinion of you.
