But like I said to Marbles, people are just responding to the OP in kind. Dude made a thinly-veiled bait post (albeit regarding a subject I know he has strong feelings about and with good reason) and people responded with their opinions on the matter, to which he responded with "k." and the like. That's infuriating. So the post devolved because he allowed it to. I mean if "I piss on Phife's grave" isn't bait posting I'd love for you to tell me what in the entire fuck is. To expect the rest of the forum to respond to some bullshit like that with "I understand how you feel" is just disingenuous on your part.

But despite that - interspersed throughout the "TOKP" stuff *IS* the discourse everyone claims to be so desperate for, but those same people pining for thoughtful discussion are ignoring the posts that include that very thing.
