> [@Scumpup](#): > > You know, I was tempted to do a Czarcasm pastiche and turn this into an endless JAQ-ing Off session, but no. You are a miserable little man whose whole life turns on this place. IRL, from your own self-description, you are a moral and physical coward. You lack virtually all of the graces that anyone would find endearing. Go back to your miserable life of daily humiliations. Nothing I could say to or about you would sting you any worse than the thoughts you try to suppress every night when you go to bed. Careful, everyone! We’ve got an Internet Tough Guy here! **Czarcasm** may be a coward, but we all know **Scumpup** don’t play that way! Don’t piss the bed again tonight, you schmuck. ---

Ok, I’m going to admit up front that I didn’t read the 6 pages of crap before this, but the OP’s point of this being a left wing leaning board only really should apply to the pit, IMHO, and Elections forums, and to some degree GD. But when **Fotheringay-Phipps** , who is generally on the right wing side of the board asked a question about a water valve, we just straight up answered his question and tried our best to help him. So the OP is just having a hissy fit, at least when it comes to his characterization of the SD not fighting ignorance. If you hang out on the forums where people express opinions, yeah, it’s a bit lopsided, but not everywhere. Hell, I’m not gonna search for it, but I think we’ve even did the same for Clothy a time or two. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > Totally agree, this message board has become totally hostile to certain ideas and attitudes. Flat earthers, believers in pholgoston, and cryptozoologists can’t make three posts here without their ideas being criticized and told that the “facts” don’t support them. When we fail to acknowledge the possibility that 0.9999… is actually less than 1, it is an indication of the close minded group think that permeates these boards and prevents us from having a more balanced outlook. It is the reason that so many free thinkers like [cladking](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18839692#post18839692) leave our ranks and never come back, causing us to miss out on his illuminating theories of pyramid construction. > > If we want to break out of our echo chamber we need to treat all ideas equally, regardless of the evidence supporting them. After all isn’t that what this board is about? The maunderings of flat earthers should be respected? Are you serious? At first I thought you must be whooshing us but then your post went on and on.

Was it just a more subtle kind of whoosh? Is that the right way to use the term “whoosh”? I thought a whoosh was not the joke/sarcasm itself, but when the joke/sarcasm is _missed_, i.e. when the intent of the post “whooshes” right by. It was obvious to me that Buck Godot’s post was solid sarcasm, by the way: > [@](#): > > …we need to treat all ideas equally, regardless of the evidence supporting them.
