New anti-smoking campaign from the Dope?
Aw, you left out “shirt-lifting”, and it’s one of my favourites, too. 
Again
The periwinkle one, dear. It brings out your eyes. 
He is now, always has been, and forever will be a troll and a fucking idiot. If he posts, he’s trolling.
Homophobia, perhaps—but there are success stories.
Formerly a virulent homophobe, after joining this board I became a staunch and vocal supporter of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Furry, Frotteur, Foot Fetishist, and Autoerotic Rim Tickler (GLBTFFFART) rights.
I called him an idiot first! But since you are a card carrying hip swishing etc etc, I am willing to share firsties with ya 
All very commendable I’m sure but what about the Goat Felchers, Sheep Shaggers and Ferret Molesters?
What do you have against them?
Huh, huh?
Well, at least 2.5" got us talking about this subject. For years, nobody on the SDMB has ever talked about homophobia. It’s been the taboo subject, the third rail, the one subject that was never even hinted at. I’d say it took a lot of guts to finally bring it into the light.
Thank you, 2.5". You took the step we were scared to take, and we’re all the richer for it. When I grow up, I want to be just like you.
Is there any reason we need to venture into the animal kingdom? You English are so kinky.
Since when were we discussing Mancunians?
Reading this, one might think that his brain might, at some time, fully engage. There is no evidence that, assuming 2.5" has a normal-sized human brain, this has ever been the case. Now, if 2.5 measures not only size, but functional brain cells, then it might have, at some point, fully engaged, but I’m not slogging through his posts to find out when.
Which poses the musical question, What does 2.5" want to be when (if?) he grows up?
I’m guessing 8 to 10 Inches of Fun.
I think he’s going to be disappointed, though.
For those ticking off menu items, this is an example of concern trolling.
I’m more than willing to share. 2 1/2 has plenty of idiocy to be called on, so there’s lots of pointing and laughing to go around.

No one could give an over the top, vitriolic rant about nothing like that guy could. You almost expected his posts to stop about halfway through as he gave himself an aneurysm and slumped over the keyboard. All the rage of a rabid bull combined with all of the substance of a gnat fart.
2.5" is just a pale shadow of that style of insanity.
Am I being pitted or not?*
On the surface, 2.5 actually has a point. However, as I alluded to, even though the very thread that inspired this rant touched on current levels of acceptance, I felt it was not up to me decide for the many clearly open-minded members here at the Dope was acceptable to other who might see what they’ve clicked on and who have power over that.
Would that (and that’s a big would, bigger than 2.5 inches) our OP had read carefully everything connected with that warning and thought it through, he might have recorgnized that.
Or, given the history, perhaps not.
- At least I have my toaster.
Sorry, but even if you are I don’t think it counts. Consider the source.
No. My ire is directed at the moderating of the the thread.
