[QUOTE=lowbrass] Hmmmm…did you _read_ the quote I posted from Giraffe? He thought it a good idea to take an active role in denouncing these kinds of threads. I tend to agree. [/QUOTE] Yes. Reading != agreeing. ---

[QUOTE=Miller] I’m with **lowbrass** and **Giraffe** on this one. I don’t particularly care one way or the other about most of these threads, because once you read the OP, you’ve read pretty much everything the thread has to offer. But thanks to **lissener** ’s initative, there’s actually something interesting going on in here. People can read about the horror story du jour, then pick a side in the “is **lissener** a dick or is this thread stupid” tussle and get into an honest-to-God argument about something in a thread that otherwise would be a dreary collection of me-too posts. [/QUOTE] What **Miller** said. ---

France has a specific law against “acts of torture and barbarity leading to a permanent disability”? Is there a law against “acts of torture and barbarity leading to a non-permanent disability”? ---

[QUOTE=jjimm] What’s with all the “/” business? [/QUOTE] It’s a shorthand way of denoting action. The “/” is used in MUDs (text-based RPGs) to make your character do something (/inventory = brings up your inventory, etc.) **stpauler** : I bow to your punnage, sir. ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] A bigot. [/QUOTE] Why? They are clearly racist to me. I’m not sure what this is about, but why didn’t you just correct me if that’s what you thought? I stand by racist/racism, because that’s what I believed it to be. It is also bigotry, but I believe the root to be racism. ---
