Reply to comment by No_Mans_Skybox in Kobe died 3 years ago today but my paper ball mural for him still remains at Randolph. Thanks to Richmond Times for the story. by jakevanyahres

My ego is not stroked by the tragedy that is the rape of a young woman. You are sick for even suggesting that. I simply state that we should not put known rapists on a pedestal.

Ahh but I didn't suggest that and you know it - all I did was point out that you're blatantly virtue signaling to make yourself feel elevated above others. Of course Kobe was a rapist, that's a no-brainer, and if it were up to me, no, there wouldn't be a memorial for him, but that doesn't change the fact that all you're doing is stroking yourself. Best of luck coping when you find an artist or musician you like turns out to be an abuser or predator.

I have eliminated many of my favorite artists and bands due to people being shitty. Queens of the stone age (Great band, lead singer is a POS, wont support or listen), Kanye (Same), Louis CK (Dumped him too). I can go on....

I'm glad you have that going for you at least. At any rate this sort of grandstanding often comes off like it's more about yourself than the cause you're promoting. I got no love for Kobe and I appreciate where you're coming from if it's genuine but there are far too many folks using this sort of thing as a soapbox for their ego for me not to be suspicious.

I am a little bit of a troll. But by no means am I in the wrong. I genuinely help people on reddit. I am happy to give genuine advice on food, culture and mental health. I just enjoy giving shit to people who deserve it or support the behavior that deserves scorn. Or pointing out that all cops are evil or that you can not overdose on weed, lol.

You misunderstand, it was not a question. You have been heard. You can stop plastering your message all over here.

Thanks.

In the grand scheme of things you do not need to listen to the moose. But when his mooseness says dial it back here the dialing back will not be an option if you don't dial The moose will dial

Hope that helps

Sometimes my Northerner roots and being raised by northeasterners comes out. I just am militant with my beliefs.
