wow. why is it that when a pitting starts off lame, goes nowhere fast, the OP always seems to bring in a gold plated backhoe to keep on digging? For some reason, I’m reminded of the poster who, while being completely outclassed, would still believe they were winning and post stupid stuff like “score!”??? for the (permanent) record, I generally would not be considered a “right wing nutjob” ---

For what it’s worth, **Beer** pretty much nailed my political/societal views. I’m left-libertarian (-3.63,-6.21) and religious humanist. And still very, very amused. ---

**Aeschines** , this isn’t a Pitting. It’s masturbatory political flaming. You’re spewing bile in all directions and lapping up the attention. You’re acting like a troll. Knock it off or we will dispense with your presence. Locked. TVeblen [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/andros-your-pc-thread-policing-is-entirely-unnecessary/314139.md?page=2)
