s-peachy!

While I am not at all interested in purchasing Belgium (global conflicts show a worrying tendency to start there, so I'd rather avoid the area) I have to say I find the whole idea quite amusing.

Maybe (think about it!) this amusing nature alone is what lead the original poster to post it in the first place.

This odd but frequently seen behavior is often referred to as "a joke", a form of literary production with the aim of sparking general hilarity.

I admit that turning it into a discussion about the freedom of peaches is surreal enough to count as a joke in itself, kudos to you for that creation . However, linking the freedom of the said peaches to various political figures famous for their disregard of freedom of speech (and presumably peaches as well) leans more than slightly towards the land of "taking oneself too seriously".

Now, jokes and peaches aside, the argument "you don't want to listen to me because you know I'm right" is pretentious to say the least. Generally speaking, ignore lists are implemented to shun people whose posts are considered inappropriate (and the Belgians, too!), not people whose posts are considered so bright that we can't read them without our shades on.

Maybe the original poster just didn't want your peaches in his Belgium.
