Since your eleven quits weren't preceded by indignation and woe, feigned or otherwise, your count remains at zero. Nice try, though.

Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.
I don't know.
Some days... I tried to make a joke, make light of the situation, and here we are, spinning out of control. I may have to report this to the moderators.

I go away for the weekend and look what happens.
FWIW, I have been trying to ignore the classifieds in favor of the other posts as a matter of principle. Plus I can’t buy more pens for a bit . . . I am enjoying it more. Nothing against classifieds, but they were getting overbalanced. I cured that by looking at them less.
