This killer that went on a rampage shooting

[DonCoquixote]

321. discussionist

Now, I can understand some of what Skinner may have been thinking: "hey these assholes will be here, so we might as well corall them and put them to good use, and keep them off the DU forum."

However, as we learned in polticis, when you try to appease psychopaths, you only feed their desire, you confirm the little voices inside their head they say "yes Yes, this is what to do!" The author of this op could have put this on discussionist, and while it would attract hits, it would have stayed out, but no, he brought it here, knowing it would get hits, and now the MRA can claim two sites for their own.

Granted, he was clever, doing the age old "yes we condemn the violence BUT you need to understand why the killer was justified" trope that is seen everywhere. As a former Paralegal (aka the sort that does the work while the lawyer wears a suit and looks good), I can admire the acrobatics used so that the author can claim "I did not violate do ToS" even though, let's face it, he could have violated the ToS and still gotten saved by the heroic "No explation given" jury members.

But that was not enough, no, they have to show passive agressive dominance, and know that they, by sheer virtue of being DICKS, will not only get what they want, but have it offered to them first. It does not matter if Skinner (hypothetiocally) offered them discussionist as a way of making them unwittingly, dues paying pack mules for DU, the good ol boys will take over, and rewrite history to their favor.
