summarizing pro-slop arguments from a Certain Thread

I am addicted to slop
Banning slop would cause me more work
I am a slop centrist (i.e., addicted, but unwilling to admit it)
I am a pedant, and do not believe you can satisfy my desire for pedantry (x3)
I have carefully structured a bad analogy so that I can imply you are stupid
Attempts to regulate slop constitute discrimination against me, the sloptimist
You are (i.e. I am) not smart enough to identify slop (x3)
Slop exists, and therefore you should spend your resources supporting it
Whataboutism
The ends justify the means
Enthusiastic amorality: I don't like slop, but am eager to accomodate sloptimists
Different whataboutism

@khm a political stance should never be about the amount of pro or con votes, anyway. I think highly of them so I hope they 100% ban this shit without caring too much about the whiners.

@khm I really appreciated your post on that thread. Opposing a policy because it cannot be enforced mechanically is silly. Just because a rule can be enforced easily does not make it impartial.
We put locks on our doors even though they can be trivially picked, because they let would-be intruders know our intention to protect our homes.
