You may not be aware that this arguing tactic (outside the Pit) can result in official sanctions, and/or to ridicule in a certain thread in that Pit. time limit seems to be up on the edit, so i will just reply here. theres clearly one set of rules for most of the forum, and another for the pit-- hadnt paid attention to that before. the pit is extremely rude and self-justified, and im probably going to lose interest in the forum after running the gauntlet there anyway. so, i suppose this could go either way. but if the goal is to drive me out, it wont take much-- just convince me that its not worth the bother and ill be out. id like to pass the time and chat with some people on my own terms-- maybe that will work out, maybe it wont. it wouldnt be the first time i got jumped on by a bunch of people on a forum, and thats pretty much how politics works now anyway-- so if its that bad, ill just get banned or leave, shaking my head. theyll do the same and stay. after the past few years i doubt anybody could convince me theres really more to it than that. i will thank you after all, for the heads up though. i dont know if you meant it as a kindness, but i think its more fair-- so thanks. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-privileged-or-oppressed/831322)._
