Yes, I have already been punished by several people. As a result of my arguments on this thread, everyone will treat me like a troll in the future. As a rational person, why have I inflicted this upon myself? To make a point about how increased tolerance is the way to reduce fires? No, it is not worth it. Either way, I have failed miserably: by being deliberately untactful, I have only aggravated the community. > Please stop. I have no desire to constantly exhibit deviant behavior that offends a large majority. Sorry.
