Your first post:
You should always store peanut butter in the fridge. You should also keep your butter, chocolate, and all oils in the fridge as well. They go rancid otherwise.
Later:
Now, no one has ever said that peanut butter and other oils go rancid in a matter of days or weeks. The companies would go out of business if that were true. It does take a year or two. Most people eat their jar long before the effects become noticeable.
Those were both you. Two differing points, both made by you. You started out by saying one thing, then when confronted with simple common sense, you go on the attack... by flinging my own point back at me. So you...concede the point...except that you don't? Do you work for Fox News or something? ANYTHING left out for two years will probably go bad. It still doesn't mean the refrigeration of peanut butter is necessary. It's not. I sure wouldn't eat two year old peanut butter, even if it was kept in the fridge.
I can't believe I'm arguing about refridgerating peanut butter on a bad movie's thread on IMDb.
And somehow you equate this argument to predicting how I feel about global warming? Sorry, another fail. But I'm guessing you're probably used to that.
And about the idiot thing, sorry. I can't help but call 'em like I see 'em. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
OK, I'm done, this is ridiculous. Have fun with your cold, non rancid, two year old peanut butter.
Aaah, buckle this.

Ah. I see what the difficulty is here. You are overlooking the time factor. Peanut Butter (and other oils) slowly go bad over time, not suddenly in one single instant. So, when you keep it on the counter, it may go 1% bad every month (that's an estimate).
You tend to eat your jar of peanut butter within a month or two and so you can eat 1% rancid peanut butter without noticing any ill effects. If you had kept it in the fridge it wouldn't even be 1% rancid.
Me, I tend to take about two years to eat a whole jar. If I left it on the counter it would be about 20% rancid by the time I finished it. That is unacceptable. I keep it in the fridge where it gets maybe 3% rancid over two years. That's fine.
So, I can say that you should store it in the fridge AND that most people eat it before the effects are noticeable. They are not opposite opinions at all.

You didn't hurt my feelings. I am used to people lashing out at me when they hear ideas that clash with what they've always assumed to be the truth.

I notice that you didn't actually address the comment. Humor me for a moment. How DO you feel about global warming.

When oils go rancid, you can't necessarily tell. Just like when cooking on high heat with olive oil. You don't think it tastes bad, but it's technically rancid. Polyunsats and monounsats are not very stable and go rancid easily. You're supposed to keep them in dark, cool places.
Oh, that shatters my entire universe
