Excuse him, he was busy telling all the lowly MPH's how to function. They NEEDED him.

Also, zoologists.  They need help with their zoos.

I don't LIKE being the smartest guy in the room, but I have to step up.  It's my doody.

How about the zoologists that work at /museums and universities/ and don't care about zoos? You know, considering the root words for "zoology". You're smart, /of course/ you know this.

You clearly have no understanding of how science works, Kai.  I am an MPP.  I have to know this stuff.  I don't expect people with messy biology degrees to understand things outside of their narrow scope of study.

For a long while, I thought people were giving TGRR a harder time than he really deserved. Sure, this is PD.com and you gotta roll with the punches, but it seemed like he was catching a lot more flak than somebody with a less controversial opinion would. I just thought he was really dedicated to what he thought was the right thing, protecting assets from something that can, certainly, be potentially harmful. I thought the personal attacks were going too far, what with bringing his estranged wife into the argument just because he never introduced her to his family, or lived in the same house, or shared his full legal name. Someone whose work involves something as sensitive as llama legislation has the right to guard his PI.

Then he started saying things like how we were all pixels on a screen to him, but that we really shouldn't make assessments of him based on what he posts. Like, really? Double fucking standard much?

And every time I saw a thread drifting towards what looked like meaningful discussion, I would tune in and eagerly await the presentation of solid evidence from his side. But it was always, at best, something written by the same people who get both their funding and sense of worth as human beings from prohibitionist policies. The rest of the time it would be "not for public viewing" or he'd just change the fucking subject.

So fuck his bullshit, and the bizarre anti-Llama nightmare universe he has completely receded into. The people are sick of lives being destroyed over llama, and eventually public opinion will lead us out of this stupid moralistic control freak nonsense.

And then, I'm sure, all of our assets will be immediately gored to death by llama abuse. Just like in the Netherlands, where they legalized llama use and now literally every single Dutch asset is dead, and the survivors just spend all day in their cafes, using llamas all day. Or so TGRR would have us believe.

This is further evidence of the perils of llama-indulgence.  ANYTHING to feed that habit.

That article said nothing whatsoever about llamas. Also, did you notice that it was written by Carla Salazar? I suspect there might be a bias if she's any relation to Enrico. You know the old Salazorian feud with Peru.

Attacking the messenger, ITT.

I'll have you know that the Salazar family has produced many fine journalists, with impeccable reputations.  For example, Hermillio Salazar was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for his ground-breaking "Do Like This, llama-fucker"...Which had NOTHING bad to say about Peru.

So your argument is invalid.

Wait Cainad is trying to say here is that he supports the horrible death by goring of children world-wide, and that he wants 3 year olds to have access to llamas.

Sigh. This is why I really can't respect you anymore, man.

You've turned your whole life into llamas. If one day you got your every wish, and all the llama in the world just up and vanished, what would you have left? Neener-neenering us on the Internet about how you finally "won"?

It's what he meant.  You have to read between the lines.  He's obviously been brainwashed by groupthink and Big Llama.
