This is my favourite so far.
I also like “We can have a vicious argument about anything.” (by Crotalus ). And boy, do we prove it!
Sorry, Elendil’s Heir ; I don’t think your quote is accurate for these boards.
How about, “We don’t eat stupid food for breakfast!” ?
The SDMB: “Somehow it’ll all prove to be about LOTR and Star Trek, somehow. We promise.”

That’s not our motto, that just the name of our team. “The Straight Dope Fightin’ Ignorance.”

I disapprove of what you may imply about the originator of that quote and I will defend to the death that it is a common misattribution .

(In fact Ralph Keyes mentions that the closest Voltaire actually came to saying something like this was in his essay Treatise on Tolerance : “Think for yourself, and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too.”)
“A motto for the SDMB?”

So much ignorance, so little time!

The Straight Dope: If You Spend Too Much Time in Front of a Computer and Think a Little Too Highly of Yourself, This is the Place For You.
Well said is better than well done.
This one’s always come in handy for me and mine:
