You know, you guys really need to stay on topic. We were talking about stuff. And then people started talking about other stuff. Let’s get back to talking about stuff again. ---

Wasn’t someone else complaining about something similar over in that thread about the thing everyone was upset about? ---

You talking about the thread where that one guy was making specious arguments and engaging in debate tactics like straw man and ad hominem attacks, slippery slope, and true Scotsmen counterarguments? ---

That could be the one. I’m pretty sure I remember accusations that someone was a troll or a sock or a trock or something of the sort. Or maybe that they were just straight-up ignorant. But I might be thinking about a different thread, from longer ago, or just last week. ---

Holup— you’re saying there’s a Scotsman in it? I’m lost. ---

Didn’t they use that as a theme for that TV show? ---

I believe you’re thinking about that “dum dum duh dum duh dum” song they used in that other show a few years earlier. ---

Are you talking about that show the one lady was in who had that annoying catchphrase she was known for? ---

Didn’t somebody sue her in real life because of that incident with the things? Am I remembering correctly? ---

When she said that one thing that pissed off all of those guys, I know a lot of people talked about suing her but I hadn’t heard about anyone actually filing a lawsuit. Later on, when she kind of sort of apologized everyone was, like, _whatever_. ---

I’m given to understand that she has one of the top PR firms working for her. I believe they were the ones who smoothed everything over after that NFL player committed the crime that everyone was outraged over. ---

Didn’t people get mad at her when she called everyone from the Midwest a piddlehead? ---

But she wasn’t in that movie. She was in that other movie that was kind of like the OP’s movie except the setting, plot and ending were different. ---

Yeah, but didn’t it have the same second assistant camera operator’s assistant apprentice? ---

Yeah, that person worked on a lot of shows during that time, mostly getting coffee for the second assistant apprentice. It’s said that nobody could carry a double soy latte quite like they did.
