I'm actually going to refrain from commenting on this thread for the following reasons:
1. I don't know the history to the thread, and the possibility that it might be facetious in its creation due to another thread, which does seem the possibility, makes me a bit hesitant to participate
2. The argument between Pingu and Mark seems to have derived from nowhere, as well as previous arguments before Pingu entered the thread, which seem to derive from point one. Despite Mark expecting me to take his side in this, I see this thread as being no more than any different from Pingu's perhaps with the exception that there aren't 12 of them.
My main problem with Pingu's threads have never been really the content - in fact, my first argument with him was due to him not liking what I put in his thread, not the other way around - but the number of them, an argument that I was trying, and failing to put forward to biased opinion and deaf ears.
Either way, the subject of Pingu's threads seemed to be an inappropriate one in a thread about turkey's when the main arguments wasn't as to the quality of this thread, but as to whether it was racially motivated.
I must, however, criticise the number of people who were as naive as me before reading this thread, and automatically assumed it was racial before trying to find out, and ignored Mark's pleas to the contrary.
End of post :)
