Seeing as my original post got closed (the short-sightedly titled "bloody smokers..."), I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for being so heated over the issue.
It's certainly the issue I enjoy getting heated over the most.
I'm not sure where the whole "fat people" discussion came into it, but as far as I understand, didn't it arise from a parody of my own thread which was drawing an anology of my intolerance toward smokers? It seems to have bloomed massively out of hand from a parody...
Yes, I am visciously anti-smoking but shall keep that to myself from now on. I know TFP isnt the place for bitching. I enjoy TFP because I love heated discussions and debates, and being at odds with other people over topics we are both passionate about.
Thanks.
