Surely you meant to say “The man murdered a woman,” no?
Nah, I was swayed by the arguments that he wasn’t a murderer. You can consider my ignorance successfully fought there. 
And yet you engaged in debate throughout it all. Even though that thread was in IMHO, it was certainly not a poll - you argued and debated with nearly everyone who expressed an opinion. In a thread with 174 posts you posted 54 times - most of those a direct response to other people’s opinions. 1/3 of a thread where you ask for opinions are posts from you - arguing with people’s opinions. Saying it isn’t a debate doesn’t make it not-a-debate. Not debating makes it not-a-debate.
Just up-thread in this very thread you whined and cried that if it were moved to the pit you would ask to have it closed. So they close it and now you whine and cry and say WTF is wrong with the mods?
mswas eventually did start a Pit thread about Mary Jo Kopechne, and later made a new thread in MPSIMS. I think this thread has run its course, so I’m closing it.
