[QUOTE=Revenant Threshold] Your last point addressing me was that agreeing with me almost made you physically sick. What exactly are we to discuss? The consistency of your rhetorical vomit? Interesting, however. “_Now_” it’s just back and forth insults? So, you admit that you were getting decent arguments at one point? [/QUOTE] Not on this board he shouldn’t. This is The Pit. He’s a fuckwit or fucktwit or however the hell you spell it. In addition, he’s a troll. And he’s not very intelligent, because he has confused the liberal political leaning of a large number of Dopers with the political philosophical of SDMB. There isn’t a political philosophy of SDMB, which is why liberals find it so attractive. The guy hasn’t cited a single piece of literature, a single source (let alone valid, scholarly source) in all of his postings. He started posting this morning with the idea of releasing a bagful of snakes into what he assumed, apparently from lurking, was a girl’s locker room of liberals. Predictably, he has stirred up exactly the squeals and screams he wanted to and has thus entertained himself most of the day. Ignore the boor. We don’t need to have moderators threaten or ban him. Just ignore him. End this thread, refuse to respond to anything he says. Like all mindless bullies, he’ll get bored and go away. ---

[QUOTE=Giraffe] [QUOTE=Trotsky] And I’ve learned that the mods on this board are unfair, but are keeping me onboard in hopes that I damage the conservative cause. C’mon mods, you know that.. [/QUOTE] You know, using your unbanned status in the face of your obvious trolling as _evidence_ of a bias against the conservatives you’re embarrassing with your idiocy is something of a give-away. Fuck off. [/QUOTE] I suspect he was going for Martyrdom by Mod, so he can tell people elsewhere how the SDMB brutally oppressed him. ---

[QUOTE=Trotsky] You fail because nobody gave me any arguments. [/QUOTE] In [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=422721) I have been consistently pressing the point that your interpretation of the threat of Fundamentalist Islam is wrong. Rather than addressing my main question – “How exactly do the jihadis threaten our existence?” – you have consistently run off on tangents. You really don’t understand how an argument is supposed to work. I’ve challenged one of your premises, e.g. “Radical Islam is a threat to Western civilization.” In order to defend your position you need to address my challenge – either by refuting it, or acknowledging the point and adjusting your position accordingly. Instead you respond by changing the subject. ---

Well, drat. Now that he’s gone, I won’t get an answer to a favorite question of mine that I didn’t get to ask him. It’s the question I love to ask people just like him when they start ranting on their pro-Bush/“anti-Islamics” rants: > [@](#): > > So, you support Bush and prove it by fighting against Muslims everywhere, but especially in the US? Tell me, if you don’t mind that is, how you reconcile that with Bush’s statement that this is not a war against Islam, how you reconcile that with his congratulatory messages to American Muslims on Islamic holidays. It’s fun to watch their eyes pop out. ---
