Your [analogy](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/analogy) is nothing like mine. Plus this is supposed to be discussed somewhere else and I can’t find it. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, which means fire would be a quick way to find it, but it would probably ruin the needle. And would definitely ruin the haystack. Pitting something is like yelling on a street corner about something that caused butthurt. Your analogy is like comparing washing machine to a cake. And arguing on the internet is like ice skating on lava. ---

You’ll have to pardon me, but I’m still attempting to reset my jaw after reading a statement by **FXM** in another thread that he participated in anti-Vietnam-War protests. Some rudimentary math would suggest that he is not, as I had previously assumed, a garden variety know-it-all college sophomore, nor a pink-eared troll fresh out of high school and still living with the 'rents. You have, shall we say, a remarkably youthful style of “debate.” ---

You could have just said “immature”, but that would be, shall we say, honest. ---
