Of course it’s bullshit! It’s **HurricaneDitka** , the forum’s most obvious troll. Nobody with anything resembling honesty or integrity could defend what he’s defending in that thread. And we should all know that by now. What possible benefit is there from engaging with him? Seriously, basically all his posts come down to saying something obviously awful and wrong, then waiting for people to take the bait.

No shit what he’s saying is wrong. He’s not trying to be honest. He’s a troll, or at least his behavior is utterly indistinguishable from that of a troll. There was one response in that thread to **HurricaneDipshit** that doesn’t belong in this post - see if you can guess which one.
