I don't think Archie Bunker was quite as extreme or hateful as Alf Garnett.
You're right. Archie Bunker, as far as I know, was a considerably more watered-down version of Alf Garnett (whose main point of hatred was directed towards Britain's Afro-Caribbean population). Good thing too. Probably saved some lives by doing so.
I realize well we are taking this thread on a little side trip, but since the original ugly meaning of the post is not what we are talking about, I don't feel TOO bad about it.
Anyway, the thing that I always took to heart about ALL IN THE FAMILY was that Archie Bunker was a basically sweet natured guy. Ignorant by virtue of class and education, a Blue collar worker who was just simply - ignorant.
He mellowed over the course of the show.
Carroll O'Conner had a LOT to do with that.

Guys ... showing offence is just going to egg him on. It was his intention to have a pop at gays and now that you've showed him some attention he's loving it.

What is an Internet Troll/ Forum troll?
An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. http://curezone.com/forums/troll.asp
This is true. He usually gets a rise from me when talks about the Artist Poseure Harold Faltermeyer, Hack Extraordinaire....
And you may quote me.

STEVENJ: "DON'T FEED THE TROLL", indeed. This is totally new to me, but hopefully it is a phrase others will post more frequently until the trolls begin their hibernation phases. THANK YOU for this bit of info!
I have to totally sympathize with Joan however. She's only one of just a tiny handfull of women posters to this board and she's been treated shabbily to say the least. That one poster just continued his tirade upon her to no end. No way to treat a lady. Still, Joan is one tough cookie who can more than take up for herself, still, she shouldn't have to fight alone, though she's more than well suited up with Kryptonite Armor! Still...no way to treat a lady!

I must say that I get a giggle whenever I see someone claiming to be non-discriminatory who then refers to someone as "a gay". Ya know, like "a retard" or "a freak" or this or that. That little "a" tends to de-personify and de-humanize.
