Either way we agree, less bias and thsi thread would have gone much better. And I mean bias from both sides, not just Silver's.
The rest was pretty close. The problem is that even if he was rational I don't think this thread would have gone well.
Again with the Iggy analogy, you can be the most level headed poster of all time and you'd still get people posting stuff like "and here we go with the Iggy bashing".

Ha, like that would ever happen.
Here's a sample of previous Sliver posts on dogs.
"Whenever I see somebody driving along with their dog in their car I'll whistle to get the dog's attention and try to get them to bust out the little crack in the window the owner has usually left. Sometimes they freak out
; sometimes they don't
.
I wouldn't do it if the window was wide open as I obviously wouldn't want the dog to
actually escape. I just like when they scratch at the window and get all inexplicably obnoxious so the owners is all WTF."
"With 127
reported dog attacks in the city in 2011, maybe we need to start looking at dogs as dangerous weapons and treat their owners in the same way we treat people who wield knives or brandish guns.
"
And I love this gem about a little girl who was bitten but was was not affected by it and still likes dogs.
"That's a good attitude for sure. Hopefully it sticks.
I'd imagine at this point she's parroting what her parents have told her about the attack as they don't want her to be frightened of dogs in our pro-dog society; however, only time will tell if she can actually go through life without an increased fear of dogs.
My money is on this being a problem for her into the future."
That's only a small, recent example.
He hates dogs and he's an a-hole about it, and that's his perogative, but let's not pretend this isn't a blatant anti-dog thread.
