Quote:Of course. We can have a little fun here, right? I stay away from sites like LGF, or Huffington because either way there is no civil discourse. Just a chorus of "yeah, you said it...". If any dissent is raised that rare voice is drowned by the collective of sycophants. Here, at least, we have differing views, but can discuss things in a civil manner or even wax poetic in excessive hyperbole.
What we "can" do is whatever the moderators let us. But that's a silly standard to use.
What I always hope for is a civil and interesting discussion of facts and ideas. If your idea is that "wax[ing] poetic in excessive hyperbole" is somehow a step towards that cause, rather than away from it, then all I can say is that I strongly disagree.
Or, in the parlance, I strongly disagree, because the consequence of your position is no less than the complete end of civilization as we know it!!!!11!!!one!
