Thanks, **two-four**. I know how much you enjoy discussion–even, somehow, with extremely irritating people. 😃 ---

> [@I pit the people behind anti-transgender "bathroom bills"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-people-behind-anti-transgender-bathroom-bills/746831/238): > > I want to know how someone can go around saying “marriage is a right and anyone who loves each other should be able to get married” etc. and let gays in the door and then turn around and slam it shut for poly groups who want to marry. Who the _fuck_ is saying this, and why bring it up? It’s not germane to any point, and it’s fucking inane besides. ---

> [@Bone](#): > > Granted, I haven’t read the thread in question. But I did want to respond to this part: > > You know that saying that talks about 'more speech" and goes something like, _If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence._ > > That may be true in certain spheres, but I find in the case of general stupidity the opposite is a better course of action. I think for every 2 posts I write, I delete one that I decide isn’t worth it. Self censorship can elevate discourse more than responding to everything found to be inane. Huh. Something we agree on. Though my reasoning is more selfish–that shit makes me angry, and I find that I make more stupid mistakes the angrier I get. In fact, I suspect that a part of **doorhinge** ’s problems stem from that. He’s always angry at what people say here. And, coming from me, that’s saying something. ---

On the other hand, **lance strongarm** (remember Alice? It’s a song about Alice) breezes in, posts like mad for a couple days from a position of Absolute Authority, Just Asking Questions in order to Play Devil’s Advocate, then fucks off again. He likes peeing on things, feeling like the smartest guy in the room for a little while, then he’s apparently had enough and its back into the woodwork for a week.
