With all due respect, "ITT:" (In This Thread) is hardly constructive. First off you cannot generalise all of the replies already made, and secondly you cannot know the direction of future replies or how the conversation will evolve. If you want to make a point comparing the ivory trade to the war on drugs, that's great, it might generate some thoughtful discussion. But this "ITT" nonsense from Reddit is just that, nonsense.
