I guess it is time to let this thread die on the vine.

There are some topics on which no agreement seems to be possible.

So long, and thanks for all the insults.

You posted this in the Pit. You knew it wouldn’t fly in Great Debates. You wanted to shit on a billion people and you thought others might join in with you. It didn’t go your way, and now you’re moaning about it. Piss off.

Do you know what the Pit is for? Your ignorant screed deserved nothing but mockery, and honestly you should be grateful that you got as much substantive engagement as it did.

Hopefully you’ve learned something here, but it seems like a lot to hope for.

Yeah, getting one last shot in is surely the way to do that!

I sure did. I now have a reliable list of posters to ignore.

I’m sure you will just insult me again. Have fun.

Hell, I’m not around for a weekend and this happens. A very rare Pit warning two-fer!

[Moderating]  
xtenkfarpl, you’re receiving a warning for trolling. Your OP was borderline, but your interactions with the rest of the board after that point demonstrate that you were clearly not interested in engaging on this topic in good faith. You are consistently “misunderstanding” people in a way that can only possibly be deliberate.

ekedolphin, you’re getting a warning for this post:

> [@ekedolphin](#):
>
> This is why Jews get a bum rap.

Which is directly insulting another poster on the basis of their religion, which is about as clear an example of hate speech as I could ask for.

The thread is closed.
