Just realized both “manspreading” and “mansplaining” are portmanteaus. 

I agree about mansplaining yes, but manspreading?  man + spreading = manspreading 

Manspreading is not a blended word it is a compound word.

TIL lots of portmanteaus words -- the wiki has a freakin page dedicated to listing them:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_portmanteaus

Yep. And if you scroll down a bit you get to see all the references to "suitcase" and "portmanteau". 

There's also key grip and dolly grip.

Love's post accusing me of being a mansplainer being a prime example, he didn't tackle what I said and disagree or dispute it he went straight to playing the man not the ball

You mean like pouring scorn on someone by using the laugh emoji inappropriately, and saying nothing?

And so we come full circle

I see a false equivalency. Kanry was interpreting my “words” reply; the topic is “emoji” reply. Thus my confused emoji in response to your post. Here’s your “words”.  

[Phil Deakins]

A laugh emoji, used as scorn, is very much like, "he didn't tackle what I said and disagree or dispute it he went straight to playing the man not the ball", which is what Kanry posted. Hence my reply to him. I.e. laughing AT a person scornfully is playing the person, not the ball.

Did I claim I didn't ever take offence? claim I am a racist, sexist, paedo and yes like most people I will take offence at it . However my response was merely post something I have said that backs you up. My response was not to report the post

Laughing at someone for having a stupid idea is not playing the man. It is directly linked to the idea they had and a response to the idea they had.

1:I think we should give everyone free owls!!

2:mansplainer

Is playing the man not the ball

1: I think we should give everyone free owls!!

2: Laughs scornfully at you for having the idea to give everyone free owls

the laugh is directly related to the idea not the fact that it is you and therefore not playing the man.

Only they didn't. After things were explained to you, you've acknowledged they didn't. So it was your mistaken interpretation of what they did that "triggered" your reaction.

How is this not the sort of behavior that you've said should cause people to avoid the forums?

Then you misinterpreted my words. I never said to use forums things shouldn't annoy you. What I said was if you are easily triggered and it makes you cry then keep away. I wasn't crying about it I merely said put up or shut up. Nor do I get very often annoyed by things people say. There is no one on earth that doesn't  get annoyed occasionally but that is a long long way from those claiming an emoji upsets them

Who claimed that? I haven't seen anyone claim that. This has been a sensible thread, so there's no need to invent things now. Let's keep in factual please.

You gave me the impression that you'd followed the discussion. It's a phrase than Kanry used. To me it means kicking or tripping (fouling) the player instead of kicking the ball - in football (soccer).

Its useage here means ignoring what was said and, instead, focussing the response on the person who said it.

How you can't see that you chose to take offense too easily.

(Actually it isn't much of a struggle.)

Got it, like my quote (I got it from a Linden) “attack ideas not people”. Maybe I’m misquoting. But I say that when a certain someone starts using words like “stupid” and “pathetic”.
