What about love. Does he give that a bad name too? Also, anyone stupid enough to think that one poster could represent progressives or men should be pitted themselves. So no, **der trihs** gives \*\*der trihs \*\*a bad name. ---

I admit, I have been known to administer handshakes to the opposite female sex gender without getting formal written consent first. ---

> [@Stoneburg](#): > > … He tends to be a bit black/white … And water is a bit wet. Look, he pisses me off quite often due to the fact that he so viciously leans to extremes in his arguments. How and why you wanted to pick this one out of his bag of crap while ignoring the others is a mystery. But most times he presents compelling arguments and I occasionally and begrudgingly find myself agreeing with the asshole. And he’s funny. We need participants like him. For the intellectual stimulus, the humor, and the fact that he’s so easily identifiable as a target. ---

Der Trihs isn’t a misogynist. He’s a misanthrope. (And I’m quite fond of his nutty ol’ self.) ---

> [@BubbaDog](#): > > But most times he presents compelling arguments . I must have missed that. Every thread I have sen him in his arguments are so reliant on hyperbole like “Republican congressmen supported Timothy McVeighs terrorist attack before and after the fact” and “the laws of electrodynamics are contravened by the existence of any God” that they can be demolished by an elementary school debate team in about 3 minutes flat. The man’s a tool. ---
