Drop it already.

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

You have no statistics, but you didn't let that stop you from having an 
opinion.

It's also not illegal to have a stupid opinion.

It's not illegal to be stupid.

It's also not illegal to take advantage of stupidity, within limits.

Many poor people use neither pay day loans nor loan sharks. These are not
the stupid ones, and although I have no statistics to hand I would bet you
that the majority of these don't die poor."
