I screwed up
Never ask a legitimate question about a controversial topic in GD.

1. Oh dear.
You didn't fall into that little trap, did you? How many of your limbs are still attached and functional?

4. I hear that.
You never know when the most innocent comment will be taken as ironclad proof of freeperdom or nonprogressive thoughtcrime.

I made a comment the other day about certain religious groups using their faith as a way of proclaiming their exceptionalism, and finished by saying that I thought such elitism was unhelpful. This seemed a pretty self-evident little thought to me, until someone responded to the effect that I was anti-Semitic and insensitive. Er...I hadn't even been thinking about Judaism or, if I had, only in the sense that that tendency can be found in some members of that religion, just as it can in Christianity, Islam or a hundred other faiths.

Too many folks over there looking for a fight and any excuse will do.

6. Ayup
I tend to forget that and be led astray by the "Certainly, there're some rational people here" monster.

8. I've seen that.
What I really dislike about GD is that there is really no way of having an intelligent conversation in there.

13. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday
I posted a question about global warming, and NO ONE jumped on me!!!

I am not, however, going to assume that this could ever possibly happen again....
