Cathy wrote in another thread that BadGolferMan is prejudiced.
Well, I don't know for sure.
But I like Natalie and I like BadGolferMan, so I hope BadGolferMan is not prejudiced. I do not read everything he writes, especially the off-topic material, but he does not strike me as a hateful person. If he is prejudiced, I would hope he would consider that a failing and something to work on to improve himself.
BGM seems like a good guy to me, although our politics are completely different.
About the topic in this thread, about "a list of lines in Star Wars movies that have sexual connotations but aren't meant that way."
It is very easy to interpret something written by an author in a manner the author did not intend.
For example, I wrote something a couple weeks ago about seeing "black scuff marks where the wheel and hub mate." Now it would have been very easy to interpret a hidden racial meaning in that, although absolutely none was intended.
It's a case of reading too much into what an author writes. The scuff marks could have been purple or white, but they weren't. They happened to be black. And it is common to refer to the the area where the hub and wheel meet as where they mate. Just like where the "transmission and engine mate."
So no racial meaning should have been interpreted into what I wrote.
Here is my full quote from a couple weeks ago:
"Yes, I carefully examined the mating surfaces of both the hubs and the wheels. Very, very little rust on the hubs and close to none on the wheels. The white-looking hubs did show some black scuff marks where the inner wheels mated with them, but that's about it. The black-colored inner wheel mating surfaces were scuffed a bit, too, but the scuffs took on a bare metal appearance. Just about no brown rust where the wheels and hubs mate. It all looked pretty good to me." [End of my quote]
I think some of you know me a little better. If I have something to say, I will come out and say it, directly. I won't couch it between the lines.
I happened to read a good piece of advice somewhere that concerned online chatting. The advice was not to think someone is insinuating something because they very well might not be. It's just too easy to misinterpret something that is written online, and to take it the wrong way, especially when face-to-face visual clues aren't possible online.
