Was Archaea being dense or immature?

As many of you saw, SoCalCoug posted this earlier as "evidence" that I am racist.

And that's because he's black.

Note the smiley face... even SoCal knows that I was being facetious, as anyone would be when dealing with Scoop Jackson.

Later, Archaea posts this:

Now, there are only two options here. Either Archaea is very dumb, and doesn't realize that my post, while mocking Jackson, is not racist, or he is being intentionally immature about my post for some reason I can't understand.

In the fine tradition of SoCal, I put it to you, Cougarguarders. Was Arch being dumb or immature?

I figured as much. Polls like these have nothing to do with people judging the actions of a person. If you like the individual in question, you say they did nothing wrong. If you dislike the individual, of course they are whatever bad thing they're accused of being.

At least come out and say you're all just as petty and biased as the average person. To state that Cougarguard is a bastion of free thought and open-mindedness is just laughable.

Perhaps, Mr. Lingo, but in general we do at least aim for civility and substance-based discourse. We await your contribution in that regard.

A fight with Barbara Gordon is one that you don't want to pick.

Give me a break, what's with the posturing?

I asked a simple question.

No substantive one, just attacks and style points, for which you received deductions from the East German and Soviet judges.
