I've met everyday sadists. They torture people in a way that 
their victims don't even notice that they're being tortured by 
the everyday sadist. Their victims think that there was a 
"misunderstanding" or that they did something wrong. Everyday 
sadists, unlike me, don't engage in arguments or debates, they 
pray on random incidents to make others feel bad, or, if they 
can, they hide behind the ideology of the day or the zeitgeist. 
"Hey you, you didn't throw the bottle into the recycling bin!" 
It's about power and instant gratification and a deep seated 
inferiority complex and cowardice.

I admit, I do challenge the zeitgeist and ideologies and 
sometimes I can't resist to argue with representatives of the 
zeitgeist and zealots of whatever ideology. In this sense, I'm a 
troll.

But I prefer a well informed conversation with people like Ola, 
Russel Winder and Paulo Pinto that actually helps me to make 
better decisions in my profession. Ideology is the death of 
progress.

Again, you are publicly calling for censorship. You never have 
any real points but you are engaging in a smear campaign against 
me and other critics. That's the typical behavior of an ideologue.

Still waiting for an answer...Why is D the best choice for you?
