this thread was a reply to another thread. if you didn't see the other thread, i could understand why you think the first post was stark, i.e., you didn't get the "joke". that would make sense. that would explain how you feel as you do. but i don't know whether that's the case, because i've asked you 3 times what the bad behavior was to which you take issue and it's pretty clear i'm not going to hear what it was.
1.) The OP -- which you acknowledge -- but now say is a "joke". Whatever that means.
2.) The next post, where you described the other thread as a "typical fantasy circle jerk from immigration hardliners".
3.) The next post which described the same thread as " the almost-daily typical immigrant and people-of-color attack" on this site.
Near as I can tell, none of this is because the people commenting in the offending thread are really immigration hardliners, or attacking immigrants or people of color -- and you certainly didn't offer supporting evidence. They simply hadn't included the point you made. That's a pretty lame excuse for the ad hominem.
Keep in mind that this is the typical response to just "shut up" here in the LR when you're not the owner of the site (or an ideological ally)...

Shut up!
Go fuck yourself.
the first post used a device. a jocular device. you create a thread that is exceedingly similar to a similar thread. i take you at your word you've never seen this before in the LR. or on any other forum. you're the only one! but, i don't like to call people liars, so, i'll just believe you that you're entirely naive to that paradigm.
"typical fantasy circle jerk from immigration hardliners". how else would you like me to put it? help me wordsmith this in a way that expresses this phenomenon similarly clearly, but in a way that comports with the style and mood you've come to expect when reading in the lavender room.
"the almost-daily typical immigrant and people-of-color attack on this site." we have an almost daily typical immigrant and people-of-color attack on this forum. how do you want me to descibe the almost-daily typical immigrant and people-of-color attack on this forum? this is what we have. this is the onerous speech it's my distaste to host. about 70 percent of the threads i pull are the attacks on immigrants you don't see. but you see enough to know it's true. it's declined as of late, because the person responsible for these threads appears to be off the payroll since the election ended. but that's what we've had here.
where were your delicate sensibilities when these daily threads were posted? your feelings weren't hurt. indeed, you lustily partook.
