People like this are a calling card for others who think it's funny or are serious about acting in this fashion. I know you all have seen other posters who act in a similar way to this guy.
Does this person reflect the morals and values of the project 1999 community or is he populating and polluting the forums with, without a better word, Toxic posts.
If you let these people go unchecked before you know it all the good morals and values get tossed out the window and are replaced by these types of people.

I don't particularly see anything wrong with that post of Maerilith's tbh Baler. I not really sure what to think about your revised post, but had initially thought you were presenting a slippery slope argument, which is why I called it nonsense ^^
Without question though we need to defend Western ideals from foreign assault, but in general neither the religious right nor the regressive left are particularly shining examples of the values that have made the West what it is ^^
I agree with your point on the military and personally do not feel that women have a place on front lines. That's not equality, it's insanity. I tend to think that all causes are circular ones and at a certain point, going forward starts bringing you closer to the problems you already conquered as you depart the ideal. This is the problem of the regressive left. The right on the other hand is hamstringed by the refusal to move at all, recognizing that the current position, wherever it may be works fine for them and are unwilling to explore alternatives because they are risk averse among other things.
At the heart of it all is the refusal to think independently alongside the pursuit of purpose denied by modern society.
