> The comment you are replying to is ridiculous. Frankly by engaging I perpetuate ridiculousness and I should know better. This is against the community guidelines. With over 13k karma points, you know better. I hesitate to ask, but pretend for a moment that I am an earnest rationalist who respects logical arguments and lets truth lead to conclusions even if I am not happy with those conclusions. Can you, striving to minimize emotionalism or logical fallacy, walk through in concise points what specifically is "ridiculous"?

I took zero offense from his comment; its spirit was clear. I agree with him: it is ridiculous that were are frolicking in this rotted carcass of a thread.

  I dunno. I feel like these Israel-Palestine threads always get more thoughtful after the first few rounds of tribal chest-beating.

    That's not what he was doing. If it came across that way to you, that's an illustration of how cursed these threads are.
