It’s interesting to me that the people touting to be so nice and tolerant and inclusive are usually so narrow minded and nasty. They don’t like opposing views. They don’t like anyone who isn’t lockstep. You have a whole sub forum where you create threads to ridicule people you disagree with and try to shame them. > > I know I won’t be changing any minds.

If my posting personality makes you, or others, so upset then maybe you, and others, need to learn how to control your emotions. I have nothing to do with how you react to my perfectly valid opinions, observations, and replies to others. That’s all on yourselves. And there’s plenty of overbearing bullshit to go around, so singling out little ole’ me is a bit hypocritical, don’t you think. ---

You should change your username to “Annoying”, not that I care because if you post a lot more I may just have to put you on “ignore” to save wasting my time scrolling through threads. I love how you think of this as [a “far-left” board that you’ve decided to troll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21863382&postcount=10137). It’s actually a board with mostly intelligent posters except for the usual fuckwads and wingnuts like you who drop in from time to time, and the problem for wingnuts here is that, as often said, reality tends to have a liberal bias. Creationism? No problem, the wingnuts are with you. Climate change denial? The wingnuts are right there with you. So, no, the board is here for intelligent conversation, and the Pit is here to unreservedly criticize ignoramuses who deserve it. Ignoramuses like you. ---

Just because the theme of the board you post on is “Fighting Ignorance” does not mean it certifies you or anyone else as intelligent, or “right” or correct. ---

Which action is more likely to convince a group of strangers that you’re not a troll: A) Join a thread about trolls and repeatedly say “I’m not a troll, honest!”; B) Spend every post mocking people for discussing trolls; C) Talk about how you’re just here to wind people up; or D) Actually contribute constructively to discussions? ---

E) Not give a fuck what other weenies think and just say what you wanna say. ---

> [@Annoyed](#): > > E) Not give a fuck what other weenies think and just say what you wanna say. But you do give a fuck, which is why you reply as you do. My teenage daughter can come up with a more nuanced, and accurate, reason to be an asshole. Try harder. ---
