Straight Dope 1/20/2023: Have baby boomers wrecked the planet?

The first post I linked to (“PLEASE READ: Forum Rules”) contains specific rules for the Cecil’s Columns category. For example, members who start new topics are required to link to the relevant column. This is one such category-specific rule, which happens to be substantially identical to the board-wide rule,

You may of course continue to question and dispute what you see as ill-founded posts or ideas, but in this forum let’s pretend to be reasonably polite to each other. Thus avoid in this forum the use of “fighting words” (including but not limited to “moronic,” “crap,” and “stupid”) when directed against thoughts and beliefs that SDMB posters have previously expressed in the same thread, or against the thoughts of any SDMB poster identified by user name. This guideline does not apply to attacks on the thoughts and statements of public figures who do not post on the SDMB.

Naturally, direct personal insults (insults directed at a poster’s person rather than the idea he or she expresses) remain strictly forbidden in all forums outside the BBQ Pit.
