Sorry, I meant literally picking nutcases on a platform rather than the literal sense. That didn't come across well!
I saw them yesterday when there was a previous thread here. There was one decrying "liberal insensitivity" just above two saying transexuals are mentally ill and "there are 21 genders, male, female and 19 types of [homosexual slur]".

I'll call people male or female based on their preference, but I'm not calling anyone 'xe' or any other pronouns, nor would I accept a biological man in a woman's change room with nothing more than self identification (as proposed in the UK). That's a pretty common view. Likewise, transexuality has only recently been declassified as mental illness by mainstream physchological groups. Saying people who don't yet adopt the latest progressive outlook are full of hatred is a kind of hyperbole and often has the opposite effect than intended. That said I appreciate how civil this discussion has been.

I was not explicitly saying this was the worst trait, more the general biggotry, intolerance, racism, xenophobia, ignorance, sexism and anti-Semitism that seems to prevade the site. Examples of which I cannot link to, nor would I want to. However you can see a lot of the recent shooters posts are merely reposts of others, so it's not an isolated nutjob. The example above was just pretty funny, as users (or bots) decry "libtard intolerance" shoulder to shoulder with some of the most intolerant views there are
