The ET member in questions was indeed sloppy, and made continual arguments that were nothing but soupy gobbledygook.

Quote from Ricter:
I was not aware of TraderNik's Asian ancestry. I guess I was speaking from why I would have presented the word that way, to emphasize gook, to say that the writer's gobbldegook is particularly sloppy and sticky.
Why is that?
What was not wise about it?
Clue me in.
Take a look at the first definition:

Red, yellow, black, white, brown...the person in question spoke mostly in gobbledygook thought processes.
Would you be happier if I had used the word gibberish?
Seems rather silly for someone to get a snit about it, but that's RM who is still smarting from his two week self imposed exile to recover and create a fantasy as to his inability to handle the fact that according to the poll about half of ET members think of him as a simple drug addict. Bupe poop e dope.
The introduction by RM to the whole thing in this thread, is some silly strawman...but that doesn't appear to bother anyone.

If he is indeed Asian then your choice to emphasize that part of the word was... to put it mildly, unwise.

LOL!!! Even his socialist buddies don't have his back on this one. Then again, racism is nothing new from him. This is almost as bad as his many antisemitic statements, or when he spoke out in support of a David Duke video. But hey, whaddaya gonna do? Mexicans are often racist like this...

Quote from OPTIONAL777:
What human life is this person he refers to? A fetus? Problem is that a fetus has not been established by the courts as a person...
The courts have consistently considered an unborn fetus to be a person. When a criminal murders a pregnant woman, they are charged with two murders that of the woman and her fetus.
If that were true across the board, then abortion would be murder in the eyes of the court...which it is not.
Killing a woman carrying a fetus, is much different than a woman opting to abort her own fetus.
So, the situation determines whether or not it is legal or illegal, murder or not.
So I would venture that the determination of a fetus to be a person is mostly symbolic in the case of murdering a woman carrying a fetus.
I've laid out my position on abortion many times, and stand by that position.
For now, the courts have as well.

That is one definition.
By the way, I have no knowledge of any ET member's ethnicity per say, as so much of what ET members post is false. It really doesn't matter.
I think you will find a certain type of ET member who always wants to make threads a personal issue, and some want to stay on point of the thread...
Those who carry deep and abiding love or deep abiding hate nearly always seek any opportunity to express their respective feelings...
I prefer issue driven P&R...but that's not the way it is...

also gobbledegook, "the overinvolved, pompous talk of officialdom" [Klein], 1944, Amer.Eng., first used by U.S. Rep. Maury Maverick, D.-Texas, (1895-1954), a grandson of the original maverick and chairman of U.S. Smaller War Plants Corporation during World War II. First used in a memo dated March 30, 1944, banning "gobbledygook language" and mock-threateaning, "anyone using the words activation or implementation will be shot." Maverick said he made up the word in imitation of turkey noise.
gook Look up gook at Dictionary.com
1899, U.S. military slang for "Filipino" during the insurrection there, probably from a native word, or imitative of the babbling sound of their language to American ears (cf. barbarian). The term goo-goo eyes "soft, seductive eyes" was in vogue c.1900 and may have contributed to this somehow. Extended over time to "Nicaraguan," "any Pacific Islander" (World War II), "Korean" (1950s), "Vietnamese" and "any Asian" (1960s).
