I don't think it matters much what kind of thread it is, the (i'm guessing) purpose is to get a conversation going, which it clearly accomplished to some degree. However, people are free to not engage in the conversation, so I don't see how the responsibility falls on him to be responsible for what users post, irrational or otherwise. A troll thread would have been way more obvious and dear God have we seen a lot of those on this here website.


It doesn't matter what kind of thread it is? ... That's literally what the pretenses of the thread would be. Of course it matters. And like I said, I don't think that the OP's point was to bait people. But the affect is practically the same. The thread is pretty lame. 97% of it is just "I agree". The other 3% is the unreasonable part or the part that gets shut down with one reply. That's not really discussion. Which is the expected affect when your OP is of that quality. So noting is really being discussed. I mean, people are *talking* but the result isn't a real discussion. The only reasonable comments so far are "I agree".
