A very sad point in our history, that people actually thought that this kind of behavior was good and honourable.

Too bad progtards made them stop. Witch hangings and burnings were great entertainment!

C'mon, the witch hunts didn't end with Salem. The plague of self righteousness will always find another witch to burn.

Like transvestites that dare to appear in calendars?

No, you are confusing the details of that discussion since there was no calendar. Just to refresh your memory, there wasn't any issue with the transvestite, the issue was with the publishers misrepresentation of a product. So that is more a case of consumer dissatisfaction than any sort of a witch hunt. A witch hunt would be going out of one's way to persecute a group based on a false premise about their identity. Keep looking, it shouldn't take long to pinpoint an example.

Those Muslim babies floated onto the beach so they must be made of wood and that makes them

True, if they float they are witches and we burn em. If they sink they were not witches. It's the only only proven test for that kind of thing.
