> [@Miller](#): > > **Peanut Gallery** , telling other posters to fuck themselves is a violation of the Pit language rules. Please avoid language like this in the future. Would suggesting that he engage in self-sodomy fall under that rule? How about telling GS# to light his dick on fire and put it out with his own mouth? Would that be beyond the pale? I’m just asking questions here. ---

If his level of competence is spending the last 10 years “debating” high school sophomores it would certainly explain his ability to defend his arguments here. > > Debating high school sophomores whom he gives grades to. No wonder he is so shocked that people ask him for cites or dispute his economic genius. He’s also a rightwinger who cites Conservapedia. The American Right has created a parallel media world; their own (heavily censored) forums, “news” networks & cites, talk shows and so on. A media bubble & echo chamber they can live in without hearing anything by approved right wing dogma, “news” tailored for the Right and one sided fixed “debates”. When someone who has spent years in that bubble ventures out of it, they tend to sound both crazy (because it keeps getting more and more extreme and detached from reality), and tend to be _terrible debaters_. They haven’t even _heard_ much if any serious debate for years, much less engaged in it themselves; they don’t know _how_ to argue with people who won’t be banned by the mods (or otherwise shut up) for not spouting right wing dogma. ---

C’mon people, use his own words against him. He won’t get it but you will. ---
