If you keep posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments, we're going to have to ban you. We've warned you countless times already, and it's not good that you're still doing it.

Flamebait I have no issue with (the "fact of the matter" as it is aspect of it; that mildly strict epistemology is necessarily flamebait on a forum of this (alleged) caliber, on subjects involving literal life and death, that I do have an issue with; also the misleading "and/or" connector, but I'll assume that's a copy/paste artifact).

The "unsubstantive" part is another matter. Stop and look at the actual quality of my counterparts' comments Dang. Is it (solely) me who is deserving of a scolding?

These are not minor or inconsequential topics being discussed here. If no community takes a stand and takes thinking more seriously especially when it matters, humans will continue to be tricked into forever war, indefinitely.
