I love this bit:
I selected the “lightest” one–lbo-talk, a general-purpose leftist
discussion forum–and lurked a bit, then jumped into a thread.
Now, I will admit, I was an ass, and quite intentionally too. I
started out with a broadside in a debate involving the concept of
adult pornography as exploitation of women in se (the idea is
purest guano straight from the boil-encrusted asscheeks of Marx and
his disciples, of course), inquiring about the possibility that the
participants are actually capable of contracting their services in
exchange for money and asking pointed questions about some other
cherished Leftist shibboleths. I believe the wheels started to
come off when I suggested for comparative consideration another
“solution” to the “problem” of adult pornography, the practice
among ultra-orthodox Jews, Christians, and Muslims of stoning the
unchaste. (A very popular, “democratically-decided”, and still- practiced solution to the “problem” of sexual immorality in
general, but one which is of course anathema to this crowd. Hmm, I
guess that that “diversity” isn’t celebrated.) All this, of
course, was perpetrated with heaping helpings of my typically
acerbic and uncharitable style. My insightful and penetrating
insights were not received well, to put it mildly. And lo! the
very next day, the Commissar hauled me down to the tiled cellar and
put the virtual bullet in the back of my head. Oh well. C’est la
vie.
He overlooks one member of the list who manages to come up with
apologias for stoning - who, despite that, is not going to be taken
down to the tiled cellar. That aside, statists and nonstatists are
welcome here. Assholes like this aren’t.
