Pica's comments on reddit seem to be invisible, so I can't say, but richardkulisz, definitely. His comments are loaded with ad hominems.

She's deleted them recently. Google Reader still has them, so:

"Although criminals harm society, and slaves are seeking freedom, from the point of the criminal or slave (who is a criminal, de jure, for running away), the outcome is the same: very negative feedback.

You mention "the value pyramid". I don't see that: if you get caught and "massa" cuts your big toes off, you are back where you started, plus a whipping and minus your big toes.

You'll be gimping around for a long time after that.

The only good thing is that at that point, you can't be sold off to work in the rice. But that's about it; you are pretty screwed.

The only way it works is if you've got a chance of getting away. Then it could be worth it. As most slaves had no chance of getting away, they were nuts to do it."

There's a racist crack, and a very unpopular viewpoint, but as far as I know she's actually debating ideas, not just baiting people.

Is this kind of thing acceptable?
