Listen, there's a vas deferens between castration and a vasectomy. (highly underrated tweet)

1. Probably shouldn't extrapolate based on a post from...

a guy named "Uncultured Thug".

I really don't understand why we don't just ignore people like this instead of giving them attention.

2. so you've never had someone equate a vascetomy with castration?

...I have, several times.

All of them with normal names.

In this case, it was related by a woman with a normal sounding name, drawing attention to a conception about vasectomy that may or may not be widely held.

I actually thought the real gem was the 'vas deferens' tweet. That's why I posted it in the lounge.

Of course it's already ruined for me explaining that.

3. 45% of the country voted for Trump.

You can find people who believe (or profess to believe) "anything". That doesn't make the bleating of one dope noteworthy or deserving of attention.

Some say stupid shit merely for the attention. People like that are all over social media. Don't give them what they want.

4. we highlight stupid things people say all the time here to make our points

...you obviously missed that, and elevated the stupid one in your responses, instead of the two people rebutting his misconception of vasectomy in a humorous way.

For my part, I thought it was a good way to make a point I've had to actually argue in the past.

Singling out Twitter (and me) for what people do all over this board is weird. You missed the point, you missed the joke. But hey, carry on.
