If you can, get someone to read this post to you, and ask them to explain.

I just wanted to let you know, in case for some reason you thought otherwise, it's okay to debate in Great Debates. No, seriously. Once you've composed your spectacular one-line wonders in the Pit...

hairy underarms

Jenny's ass

cryptic "final justice"

...or in Cafe Society...

Billy Joel review

insightful inquiry

no post at all, just a quote

...and then stumble into Great Debates...

well, that settles that

wham bam thank you ma'am

just the Cliff Notes, please

...don't be shy just because you're stupid.

It's okay in Great Debates to make points, formulate arguments, provide citations, and actually contribute something. When you disagree with someone, it isn't necessary just to crash the thread, moon somebody, and let out a loud fart. It's not required that you be the hit-and-run jackass there that you're going to be in this thread. Okay?

BWA HA HA HA!

Heh. Good one, Lib. Mothchunks blows ... eh ... moth chunks.

(Actually, I wish more stupid people were shy. There'd be less of a market for Fred Phelps and Osama bin Ladin and other such international embarassments.)

Brevity is the soul of wit... with certain exceptions.
