Ya, I'm cool with it. It was mostly a bullshit, emotional threat anyways. He's not going to actually go out of his way to hunt the guy down and beat him lol. If someone thinks it's ok to bully a disabled person then I don't feel sympathy for them when they get bullied back.
And when the original bully comes out and says their post was just emotional as well then it seems like we have a case of the pot calling the kettle black don't we?

I don't know why someone making a particular sort of threat or bullying comment should be treated any more or less seriously than another. Sparks' responses is just as much in the wrong as the original person.
Why would someone attack another person for no reason, then call it emotional? Doesn't make much sense to me. What would be the reason for bullying someone out of the blue?

Lol WTF? I don't know what was said or what the guys reasoning was, but you have to be a pretty low form of a human being to intentionally bully or make fun of a disabled person. I would hope every person on this forum would want to beat a guy's ass that would do something like that. That said, PC culture has gotten out of hand when your livelihood can be affected for calling someone a whiny little girl.

This is pretty much how I feel too. I wonder if the view would change if it was a guy attacking a disabled person on the street. Maybe then it would be ok to fight the guy back lol.

Again, not sure how having people running through the streets punching one another is a way of combating bullying but what do I know, guess I'm too PC.

That isn't what I said. But If I saw a guy physically attacking a disabled person then I would defend the victim. I'd rather do that than let him continue and politely ask him to stop, lol.

It's weird, because it seems as if you changing the context of the situation to try to undermine what I'm saying does the same thing I just did?

If Sparks responds to someone bullying a disabled person by making a sexist or racist remark is he actually any better than the original person? The answer is clearly no. using physical violence to respond to bullying, or one-upping the bully by making another stupid comment is not an adequate response. Saying that I'm not taking seriously the original comment is not at all paying attention to my argument.

Your argument is ignoring intent. One person's intent is to stop another from treating a disabled person poorly. One person's intent is to be malicious for...fun?

Do you actually know the original person's intent? The issue is not intent, racist, sexist and other discriminatory comments are not cool period. Not only is actually determining intent impossible but its not even the issue at hand, unless you want to say making fun of someone who is disabled is okay if you intent is different?

I imagine women would be offended by using their gender as an insult to someone who is bullying a disabled person?

I guess the differences is that I don't find telling someone that they're whining more than a little girl to be sexist. That's not the intention when people use that phrase. I absolutely would not be ok with him making a blatantly sexist or racist remark.

I'm ok with him saying he'd theoretically beat a guy for making fun of a disabled person. He wasn't going to actually hunt him down and beat him up.

Give me a break. This is what is fundamentally wrong with PC culture. You can't say anything without offending anybody. Are infants going to be offended if you tell someone to quit crying like a baby?

Exactly, then the prick had enough nerve to make a complaint against Sparks.

Pretty low life.

Anyone with Center Ice or the NHL network needs to tune into some Carolina games. Their PK is impressive to watch. It has to be one of the top units in the nhl.
