Deleted, because it makes me seem gittish, I didn't intend to, but it must have come across as this.
I do apoligise. I do mean this, its rather hard for me to show that without the smileys.
Hat:
Woah you tried so hard there to be backhandedly considerate you must have hurt yourself quite badly. Please, don't post again for a while, just sit and try to recover from your heinous injuries. No no, I'm quite sure you shouldn't move, no person's actuall intent should stray so fucking far from what they actually said. Just get some bedrest and fuck right off.
Josefbugman:
Fine then, but post altered first.
I just wanted to be polite, I had realised I had been rude and inconsiderate.
I was trying to be slightly ammusing by being way too over the top.

--- Quote from: PantsFTW on 12 Feb 2009, 00:28 ---Holy shit guys, Yao Ming is really fucking tall in person. And very intimidating because of his height. It doesn't matter that he is smiling, he is still super intimidating. I handed him keys. I told him his room number and check out date and I felt just a little bit scared. But, honestly, I was smiling really wide at the fact that I was handing keys to a motherfucking professional basketball player who is a giant. Dude is nice too.

I bet when he goes to China they're all like "OH NO! GOJIRA!" and then other people are like "Hey, that's Japan. And besides the inherent racism of assuming all Asian cultures are alike it's sort of a racist caricature of Japanese people in the first place to assume that they fear very tall people as though they are movie monsters. I'm sure Japanese people are as comfortable with very tall people as anyone else. Also, I learned English, which is cool."
Alex C:
It's too bad that tons of people aren't very comfortable with extremely tall people. I suppose it's a fairly understandable visceral reaction though, especially in the case of Yao Ming. I mean, the guy is an shy of being 7 and a half feet tall with his shoes off. I'm personally fairly desensitized to the really damn tall people thing, for the most part, since Yao's the second tallest guy I've seen in person.
