It's basically a list of all the tolerable people on the forum with a post count over 100 (Blueskirt, Chyld) or a fair reputation (Man Of Doom, ftr)
Those examples do not meanThose people have a bad reputation, it just means I don't know them very well.

I am somewhat insulted that I'm classed as tolerable. Obviously I haven't been trying hard enough.

If its your fault then why are you insulted?
"I felt insulted until I realized that the people trying to mock me were the same intellectual titans who claimed that people would be thrown out of skyscrapers and feudalism would be re-institutionalized if service cartels don't keep getting political favors and regulations are cut down to only a few thousand pages worth, that being able to take a walk in the park is worth driving your nation's economy into the ground, that sexual orientation is a choice that can be changed at a whim, that problems caused by having institutions can be solved by introducing more institutions or strengthening the existing ones that are causing the problems, and many more profound pearls of wisdom. I no longer feel insulted because I now feel grateful for being alive and witnessing such deep conclusions from my fellows."

This post is about how a normal person will wish he is dead when properly tortured, while a clear minded person will wish for the torturer to be dead.
Unless that clear minded person is a Buddhist.

No, buddhists will wish for the torturers death, on any of several basis'.
Several have to do with reincarnation, some have to do with inner peace of the torturer, some have to do with weird buddhists concepts.
For example, if you ever meet buddha walking down the road, what should you do?
Buddhist answer: Kill him so that he can reincarnate somewhere else in the world.

That's assuming that the torturer is a Buddhist... which doesn't make sense.

no, it doesn't at all assume that the torturer is buddhist.
The last bit was just an example of the weird ways buddhists apply their ideas. I may be wrong, but i think they would pity the torturer for his lack of inner peace and wish for him to die in order that he might know the cyclical nature of life.

But surely that he wouldn't remember his passed life.
