The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Deset Gled]

Snarf makes a thread about why jargon is bad. In under a week, that thread becomes a hotbed of jargon and jargon-soaked theory debates having nothing to do with the thread topic. What's remarkable to me isn't that this has happened, mind you; what's remarkable is how predictable it was. We saw it coming, didn't we?

Predictable? I thought that was the goal.

At a minimum, I think it proves Snarf's point. Well, maybe not the point Snarf had in mind for that thread, but a point they've been making.

My favorite thing is when bad faith trolls start terrible tangents that probably shouldn't go unaddressed which snowballs and then the thread gets shut down, which is what the trolls actually wanted all along

It’s impressive that that thread is now generating new jargon, which is then debated leading to the introduction of even more new jargon. Resistance is futile.

What if we got rid of the dice and books? Then the real role-playing can begin.

Egad, you just out-Borgesed Borges!

Well if that small kingdom has a Q Bomb...

... I'm pretty sure that's not the case, as the smallest sovereign state on Earth still covers .44 square kilometers, which would require a bit more than 7000 pages of paper to cover. Unless the written description of that region would take more than 7100 pages of paper, it would not be larger than it.

It's all about the font size.
