Now that I got your attention:

Suppose 100 forums members post in a thread and randomly insult one other participant in that thread for a three day suspension.
On average, how many posters will remain uninsulted (but still suspended)?


Part2:
What is the uninsulted precentage for an infinte number of posters (exact term required for extra credit).

Yeah, I think this post is suspension list-worthy. Three days suspension should be appropriate.
Fighting BS one post at a time!

Probably won't happen for a little while. It's Mission's lunchtime and McDonald's does not have WIFI.

The thread is an insult to my intelligence.

I was gonna make this thread a poll for easy bigot confessing, but the system doesn't allow for a poll with just a single choice. Admin, please change that!

All polls are, by default, single choice. You have to check the box when making the poll that allows voters to select more than one.

I think what he meant was that there's only one item on the list to choose-Bigot only.

Ah, I got you, Alan, thanks. Well, then one could be creative, I suppose, and make poll choices like:

I am a bigot.
Why, yes, I am a bigot.
Thanks for asking: yes, I am a bigot.
