		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve always had cats, but gave the last two away when they  clashed with the late wifes German Shepherd - we couldn&#039;t convince her they weren&#039;t self-propelled chew toys. But shit did they slaughter some wildlife. Feral/stray cats should definitely be executed (anthropomorphic enough?), the chipping plan seems OK to me (hell, I&#039;d like animal control to assassinate stray  (unchipped/collared) dogs, preferrably with CO on the trip back to the pound). any future cats (as soon as the dog dies) will be besignalled &amp; kept inside at night.

Sanctuary has the right idea - I&#039;ve killed a few feral cats in my time, too (best not to talk about the 3 days in hospital....). Congratulations Rob, you win &quot;fuckwitted comment of the year&quot; for your piss-poor impulse control. I sincerely hope you dont have access to firearms....

Ben, how do you discern Sanctuarys motive using only recycled bits? thats a good trick.

BTW I&#039;ve eaten cat. a bit gamey. dog was better, but nowhere near as nice as horse. mmm, mammals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&gt;I’m sorry bro but can you point out where in all of this mess Sanctuary’s debate has been robust

Not in this debate, but I&#039;ve read a small book of what he thinks about things over the years, and it&#039;s my opinion that he often debates in good faith. Descent into trolling is also often a tit-for-tat thing beyond a certain point, hence the old adage about feeding it. I don&#039;t think people would have been so instantly bitter on his strange cat killing thing (which does have a reason, albeit IMHO a bad one) if they didn&#039;t generally want to have a go at him for bloodying the odd nose. I can&#039;t say I&#039;m not guilty of this.]]></description>

Unfortunately my respect for him went totally out the window when I saw the way he was totally unable to deal with being called out for his bad behavior.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t know. Trolling is a trap a lot of people fall into, if they like robust debate. I don&#039;t think you can deduce much more than that they have certain obsessions, which might not have any particularly deep seated psychological reasons. We&#039;re kind of socially trained to obsess in a specialist society, and it&#039;s seductive because you get a stronger and stronger command over your material. Sanctuary sometimes makes good points. To me he&#039;s mostly a victim of the &quot;People&#039;s Liberation Front of Judea&quot; problem, deliberately making enemies of people that have mostly aligned views.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, it wasn&#039;t that he just had nothing, he was &quot;bored&quot; and &quot;trolling&quot;.

I find it pretty hilarious that this self-loathing middleclass socialist Jesus is incapable of acting appropriately towards his neighbors.

I&#039;ve come to the conclusion his internet persona - which at times resembles a caricature of a socialist from some right-wing newspaper - is just something that he finds gives his life a little bit of definition as he kills cats and posts on blogs from his mother&#039;s garage.]]></description>
