Re: 166.
The OP here represents the kind of active refusal to gain information on an issue that is the real and far more common problem.
I think it'll undo some of the progress that people have made... if suddenly you're a homophobe for not participating with the cause. Apathy is a step above contempt.
This, certainly, but that isn't exactly the issue that arose here. Most of the time, when does one even get the opportunity to 'target' apathetic people? In being apathetic they become pretty hard to spot. If one does happen to end up in a conversation with someone like this, well. I wasn't advocating targeting anyone. Since you're referring to the way I handled the OP in particular, I'll say that I based my behavior on my reaction towards hers.
what would have been wrong with attempting to convince her to get involved instead of hanging around insulting her?
It's not how I'd handle myself in every situation, no, but at the same time I'm not particularly inclined to apologize for how I handled myself here. This is what I mean by basing my behavior off of the OPs--she made a statement in a manner that pretty much shuts her off from all reasoned debate, so I didn't feel like paying her the lip service.
If I felt like I could change her mind, maybe, but her behavior makes it seem pretty much shut.
Re: 166.
(Anonymous) 2009-02-02 08:00 am (UTC)(link)I know a different anon suggested that the OP was the one girl with the 13 (I think?) icon, but did she ever admit it, or was it somebody else? Or does your assessment of her behavior come from the original post?
Apathetic people are as easy to spot as anyone else- most pro gay-rights people aren't wearing rainbows, and most anti gay rights people aren't wearing "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" buttons. Most of the time it just comes up in conversation. "Grrr! I'm so angry about Proposition 8!" "Um... I don't really care about that stuff."
I don't think you need to apologize. We probably just have different strategies for handling this kind of thing.
Re: 166.

That's exactly what I mean. It's not something I'm too comfortable generalizing a strategy for--if I came across this, I'd have a different conversation with every person.
