**Shodan** is an excellent poster. USUALLY offering substantive posts and cogent, insightful arguments. You don’t like the content of his posts, get over it. Truth be told he could debate circles around you. That’s the impression I get anyway. So, for you to call him a racist, troll, fucking joke doesn’t really stick, and reflects badly on you. Do I expect that you’ll be able to see this? No.

Thus the 5% retard segment of the dope. 😉

Actually, I think it’s up over six now, proof that ignorance is truly being fought.

After all, do you think Cecil would be so stupid as to embark on a journey to effect such a small minority. N, he saw that 95% and said, “Man, I got to do something about that”.😉
