Disproportionately? He was making a very purposeful decision to **only** post in the Pit because he knew that it was the only place he could spew his rhetoric ‘safely.’

Let’s not forget a post of his very early in his short time here - . Bolding mine.

> White folks - liberal, independent, and conservative alike - both worship at the altars of individualism and objectivity. Briefly, individualism is the idea that we are unique and stand in contrast to our demographic groups; and objectivity, is the idea that we care capable of adjudicating matters free of all or most bias. Anyway, the thrust of your observation is true insofar as I am deliberately breaking the cardinal rule of individualism by generalizing.\* I am generalizing\* and never tried to hide or deny this fact; **nor am I trying to change and hearts and minds about racism. \*\* I generalize because, in my view (and others may disagree), white people are predictable (See Matthew 7:16). On the flip-side,** I am sensitive to and understand that my generalizations may be intolerable, uncomfortable, cause defensiveness or anger.\*\* The good news is that I\*\*'m only posting in this thread. You won’t see me in the neatly-trimmed suburbs of Great Debates or Elections or me engaging posters in other threads in this folder \*\*(not even the [white supremacist thread using coded language](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=859372) to complain about people of color and minorities engaging in nonviolent protest). I’m just here.

So to sum it up, Huey:

1. Was aware that his language was ‘intolerable’ and would ‘cause anger.’
2. Was not trying to actually engage in any sort of a dialogue.
3. Had no intention of posting anywhere but the Pit, or even outside of his own Pit thread.
