> [@HughGoply](#): > > How could I have an intended conclusion before l saw the responses? Your comment about a “consensus” is the fourteenth response, of which exactly TWO appeared to support the proposition that “people need cocaine, especially in a pandemic.” It seems to invite the inference that your goal was to reach that conclusion (in a way, this is more flattering to you than the inference that you don’t know what “consensus” means). ---

We need a national holiday on December 17 to represent the freedom of America’s final slaves. The way things stand now, we as a nation are pissing on the graves of the people who continued to be slaves in Kentucky and Delaware. America just can’t stop its abuse. ---

Sure, I did think they were a bit overwrought at first with their replies, but they actually seem to be trying to calm down, rather than keeping on being provocative. On that topic, at least, it seems they are not trying to troll. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > They’re handling the trans topic correctly, which goes a long way for me No, they’re handling it “correctly” to use as a weapon to accuse others of hypocrisy, in exactly the way they were accusing Czarcasm of racism in that Juneteenth thread.

Just came here to have a whinge about [HughGoply](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/HughGoply). [The topic of transgender athletes](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boys-girls-do-converted-athletes-have-an-advantage/945447) is a complex one, and no-one has a perfect solution. However, there are certainly trolling “solutions”. [HughGoply](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/HughGoply) has gone from suggesting we outlaw women segregated sports all together, to suggesting we change sports to being about “playing in cold open water for 12 hours” (because women may have some advantage in long endurance challenges) to saying we should let Lebron James play against a 4’8" paraplegic girl but have the scoring based on judging, such that the latter could win by virtue of showing more pluck. It’s more troll than Sauron’s armies and honestly I don’t care about trolling normally. But he’s spamming that thread with this nonsense, so it’s now just HG bullshit, and responses to HG bullshit. ---
