[sarcasm]

A dog bit me once so I have decided to blame all dogs for it.

I am entitled to feel this way because all dogs have teeth that they use to bite things.

It must have something to do with their low intelligence, too.

Another sweeping generalisation:

After you've put the broom away, you always find a bit you've missed.

For any new visitors - this thread is clearly satirical and therefore not to be taken seriously.

It's about humorously ridiculous, sweeping generalized statements.

It is an attack on someone who started a thread recently though

Wut? It's clearly a jokey generalization about a dog.

Canineism isn't a WP rule break.

It's aimed at the person who posted the 'im not going to talk to NT women anymore ' thread.

It's a veiled attack so the person attacking gets away with it.

^ If people don’t want to inspire satirical posts or threads about sweeping generalizations, they should avoid making them. They are an attack on an entire group of people.

FYI: The member who created the thread you mention was banned earlier after receiving warnings - not only for posting misogynistic statements and generalised hate against NTs, but also for making offensive posts and PMs about his obsession: poop.

I note you didn't report that thread, now removed.

Oh Good, that means I don't have to open the PM he sent me and can delete it.

Definitely the recommended action.

Take it from someone who knows.

Nobody can prove that Fnord was motivated to post this thread because of the other thread.

Only Fnord knows. And I don't believe Fnord has made a personal attack for a long long time.

And besides even if it was motivated by the other thread , the other thread was garbage so I commend Fnord for this thread which has no relevance to any other thread.

It's been flushed.

Fnord's comment was on my thread at first. Then he moved it to his own thread.

Why do I have this song in my head?
(And ... notice I'm speaking to men!! !)

Maybe I'm a bit delusional like one of the former female members?

I'd better pipe down and clean the fireplace grate.
