I could just stop posting.
How do you get a book published? Page 11
Forcibly, if you don't improve!
I thought the median level of accuracy in my posts had improved.
4 posts till 6660, maybe the most evil post rating.

I am feeling about as doomed right now as Radovan Karadic.

You'll be fine. It's visibly getting better. (Aaron would never ban you, anyway, as his spell checking partly drives the board.)
I was talking about the other Radovan Karodic. He was caught stealing milk off the back of a milk float.
As a 3rd time offender he's being exiled back to his native Sierra Leone. Where he faces the death sentence as a Scientologist.
I was going to write a skit on this, is it to obscure a news item?

I just, don't want to have to listen to their crap.
I suspect that's partly because you don't want your own very fixed opinions challenged! 
That could be possible, if it wasn't only the extreme nuts' views I wanted silenced.
Unless you actually think the extreme anti gay, anti Jew people have a worthwhile point that might sway me?

Well, I suppose it depends on YOUR definition of extreme.
And no, I don't think (what I would consider extreme) anti-homosexual or anti-jewish people have anything worth listening to, no.
Hurrah!
Let's all pick flowers and hold hands!
(My definition of extreme is that Phelps dude I mentioned earlier, I suppose.)

But don't you think they have a role in a "healthy" society? As some sort of touchstone? I'd rather live in a society that can sustain itself and its values without having to censor those who challenge these values (the more ridiculous that challenge is, the easier should it be to tolerate it or to reason against it). But that is probably Jesus-think.
It's worth remembering in Nazi Germany there was an outcry at The Eternal Jew, a graphically anti semitic film.
Jude Suiss (Finck I'm sure will correct my German), was a comedic/romantic film with the same message that was found far more palatable.
It's easy and slightly obvious to oppose the raving bigot.
But it's the subtle, charming bigot who's the real threat.
The one who will work slowly and insidiously.
*Jud' Süß.
Probably not that easy to write with an English keyboard.

My pleasure.
