[We had such a thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=316250) a long time ago, though it turned out that the OP of that thread was _not_ a strict YEC who insisted on taking Genesis literally.

I’m a fat Christian who drives an SUV. I don’t know how I avoid hate mail.

I’m heavily armed most of the time, smoke cigars freely, and think most car owners/drivers are syphilic idiots who should be interned at the very least; at least until we can come up with a legal reason to execute them.

And short of the “straight ticket” crowd I’m probably above average when it comes to Democratic (Party) causes. Makes me fun at parties where heavy drinking (by others) is involved.

Like I’m going to tell…well…just found something inoccuous :

Star Wars and Star Trek are both crap and incredibly boring. And the Hitchiker guide to the galaxy so-so at best.

I bought and watched the movie “Ender’s game”.

(not mentioning that Pitbulls are dangerous, and circumcision barbaric)

I don’t think Shodan’s “Regards” tag is offensive. I don’t see why anyone in their right mind would think that it is. It’s just a two word signoff.

It ain’t hate.

The “goofy” statement was my being facetious. Apologies if that was a bit subtle. (ETA: I’m perfectly capable of liking someone whose political leanings I disagree with.)

But in fact, for the record, I like Shodan and for the most part am glad he posts here.

It doesn’t offend me, either. But it has raised the ire of some on occasion in board history, although not mine. That some consider it insincere—an interpretation plausibly supported by one or two comments made by Shodan himself—is the most common reason as to why. And I can certainly see why it seems so. But it’s not “offensive.”

I like anchovies on my pizza. Also bell peppers, onions, olives, bean sprouts.

Once, I had a big scoop of ice cream on top of a pepperoni pizza. Damn! It was good!

All the love for Dr. Who is just another stupid “white girl” thing, like pumpkin lattes and yoga pants.

Seriously, I’ve yet to \*\*ever \*\*hear a guy or non-white girl go on and on about how awesome Dr. Who is.

I won’t say it’s awesome, but I enjoy it, when I’m not rolling my eyes.

I suppose I don’t get why it would be a problem if only white people liked it, or if only females liked it, or both.

I don’t dislike Dan Snyder. Sure, he’s a rich douchebag, and just a plain douchebag, but I don’t hold it against him.

I’m a speeder. And I _never_ get tickets.

I _loved_ **Freddy Got Fingered**. Loved it. Own it. Watch it all the time. Going to watch it again when I get home!

I have zero interest in Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones.

Hell, anything of the fantasy genre.

And I have a sign-off for my posts.

Using my snow blower on a Sunday before 10. I do not like it when people shovel the snow onto the street, just rude.
