But if we don't have all our terms exhaustively defined and quantified, how can we know when we're having fun???Nothing turns one off a game like pedantry
Its like I read stuff, and think, if that was a book, I would not read it.But if we don't have all our terms exhaustively defined and quantified, how can we know when we're having fun???

Unfortunately, numerals are by default already in the equivalent of upper case, and they're generally implemented in the typeface rather than character encoding.I’ve been occupied recently researching the best way to put numbers in upper case so I can better shout at people on the internet who do math wrong.
esp when they say they are from "troll country".Otoh..If you can't blow them away with your brilliance, baffle them with your bs I guess.
When replies get so long you need multi-quote to follow them. They are objectively too long.

I was once on a forum on which one particular poster would break a relatively short post down into individual bits, then write a paragraph or more of rebuttal to each. Seriously; sometimes this guy would break up a single sentence to argue as if there were separate points in it. It took a little while to figure out how to deal with him; smash it all back together and give a short response. It infuriated himWhen replies get so long you need multi-quote to follow them.

It shouldn't, if used with sensible moderation. I see it as more like posting walls of text with no paragraph breaks. It's technically OK, but really annoying if you go overboard with it.I thought breaking up posts was akin to trolling
This guy was breaking up several sentences in order to respond to each of them, individually and differently, when they were part of a single coherent thought.It shouldn't, if used with sensible moderation.

Breaking up posts to direct responses to a particular point can be helpful if done well.
So he was the poster boy for using the practice immoderately.This guy was breaking up several sentences in order to respond to each of them, individually and differently, when they were part of a single coherent thought.
As I said, even breaking up single sentences. That's pretty extreme.Yes, it's the doing it too much, and having too many breaks, as well as often posting with multiple tangents.
That is totally doing it. I remember years ago, watching people troll on the myspace forums, some of it was like an art form, esp in the religion and philosophy, or politics subforums.As I said, even breaking up single sentences. That's pretty extreme.
Im sure at the end, whatever theory you had, will be proven absolutely correct.I have at least two more "True/False" poll statements lined up for tomorrow and the day after, and plan to continue to post them daily as the inspiration strikes.
Do I have a secret agenda with these posts?
