Nifty. I start a thread to talk about the interrelationships between systemic oppression, personal bigotry, and jerkiness. The first response is good old Martin, trying to hijack it with a discussion of merit scholarships. When I refuse to take the bait and gently redirect him to the thread’s topic, he gets petulant and snitty:

> [@Systemic Oppression, Personal Bigotry, and Jerkiness](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/systemic-oppression-personal-bigotry-and-jerkiness/967712/4):
>
> No–if you are only interested in saying systemic oppression is bad but are not interested in exploring the particulars of that conclusion I don’t see much to debate, and have no interest in the discussion. I too agree systemic oppression is bad, but I think that without considering how that intersects with specific issues and policies it is little more than platitude.
