Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[overgeeked]

Never change gamers. Keep on complaining about everything that makes stories interesting.

My least-favorite posts are the ones along the lines of "I'm never wrong, you just misunderstood me" and "if I repeat something enough times it will become true."

Like, how do you even approach a topic from that angle? Why would you even try?

Many, many moons ago, before I met my wife, I dated some interesting people. One of them was a woman who was a devotee of The Secret, which is a popular book that espouses the law of attraction, which is basically one of the Laws of Magic, the Law of Similarity: "Like attracts like." So why wouldn't some posters also believe that the Rule of Threes could also be valid?

Truly, Lyndon Hardy has much to answer for. ..

if I remember correctly that was, essentially, "If you really, really, really want something, you will get it."
