    @nolaegghead you are the best devil's advocate I have ever met!  Your ability to make someone stand back and re-asses is fun to watch.  Either that or I am to empathetic.
    Really?

    The man just implied that you are at best an intolerant segragationist, and at worst a racist. All for not embracing a massive trolling thread on a cooking forum?

    Where is the epiphany in that?

    Well, it seems o me that those who are bothered b this asinine thread are .......those who click on it.  If it bugs you just slide past it.  That's what I started doing about 2K responses ago.

    Yeah, consider white (power?) forums or more moderated places that are less diverse.   Seems like your comfort zone is narrow. The "suburbia" of forums, where ever that Shangri-la is.  I hope you find it, my intolerant friend.
    Like I said, there's a time and a place.

    Straight from the playbook, personally attack and attach the labels. 

    You can have your views but I can't have mine, that's how it works, right?

    I've been feeling the same way about many of the posts and replies here.  The sickness will not go away, it is a product of our 'free speech' society and the warped, immature, insensitive, uneducated individuals attempt to impress.

    I've been told, by some here, that if you don't like it go elsewhere. 

    Ta ta.

    “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”
    Except, apparently there are things said in this forum that WILL "disappear" or be censored if some moderator doesn't agree with it... Not sure if it was my post or a response to my post, but when I tried to post to that thread, I got "your post will appear once approved".   So much for real free speech...
    That filter has nothing to do with what you say.  It has something to do with not liking too many quotes or some other thing it finds problematic.  There are dirty word filters that just obliterate the dirty word and leave the rest alone.

    But the warning "your post will appear once approved", is a lie.  It will never be reviewed or approved.  It really should say "your post has been sucked up by our blackhole filter never to be seen again, we can't tell you exactly why it has been sucked up, but it has"

    You can have your views.  Just don't **** like little girl that others can't have theirs.  Or, find a place where that is true.

    I find it more objectionable that @THEBuckeye trys telling us not to have forks in our pictures, than I do her complaining about the mile long topic.  I stopped looking at that one once it went viral.

    But I also find it objectionable when we resort to being hostile towards each other.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I used up my chicken bones last night making stock, so what do you think I'm cooking for dinner?  Yep, drumsticks, gotta start collecting more bones for stock now.

    Saying folks should question everything is admirable. Attacking folks personally who say things you disagree with? Isn't that the epitome of hypocrisy? @nolaegghead I don't disagree with everything you say...some things I completely disagree with. Others I agree with. But I completely disagree with your hypocritical tactics. I don't even know you and hope to meet you one day. Note...I did not call you a hypocrite,  just your tactics.
