Had I been “clueless,” I wouldn’t have postulated that which you confirm is, in fact, true: that people get to act like children at recess here. Believe me, I easily figured out that common decency was not mandated here.

What also seems to be true is that people come here, not to discuss anything, but to engage in childish behavior, pitch insults, and in general be assholes. I don’t want to spend any more time in the chimpanzee cage, so I’ll leave you all to throw feces at one another. You all evidently think that’s fun–how sad.
