Guy came, made some apparently racist remarks, got called out on it, cried and threatened to beat some people up, threw a fit and rage quit.

I especially enjoyed the part where he decried the way Texans are stereotyped while simultaneously providing a real-world example of why the stereotype exists in the first place - and for extra credit, insisting his caricature of liberalism has basis in reality.

Yes, stereotypes are bad, but c'mon that was ridiculous .

Bummer. I sure didn't agree with everything you said, but enjoyed the convo in your intro.

Bottom line -- getting mad about posts online is rarely a useful expenditure of emotional energy, and looking for a scrap will usually get you one.
