US leftie checking in: I agree with the OP. This forum has an unusual and interesting mix of rationalism and cluestick. ---

> [@Hollow\_mask](#): > > I’ve only been on a couple cites but this one is really smart. And hip. I feel like I’m trying to merge with traffic that’s moving at about 95 mpr Ignore the grumps, kid. Some of our complement never learned how to accept a compliment. But don’t let us catch you fucking up like that again. Or beginning more sentences with conjunctions. And if you are caught, claim that, because you know the rules of grammar, you can stomp on them and make them your bitch. Let your watchword be, “I meant to do that.” You are like a cat now, and will never be wrong again. Unless you disagree with me. Anyway, welcome aboard. ---

No woosh, my cough was a commentary on your demonstration of “stomping on the rules of grammar cos you know them and therefore you can”. Next time I’ll be more boring and say “I see what you did there”.
