Do people who may pride themselves on having 'had the last word' on many recent threads realize that also makes them a threadkiller?

And Fiona did it better....

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

These threads are not dead. They are differently living.

There's no getting in the last word around here, anyway.

Why do you post here? You clearly don't like the answers you get.

1. Sometimes I do like the 'answers.'
2. I've been invited to post.
3. Sometimes I learn. The last person I learned something really important from was Writingprof. But there have been others.
4. Critical race theory indoctrination is dangerous and needs to be fought. At the very least, watched vigilantly.

Why do you read the news? Do you like the news?

I don't read your threads. So it's funny you thought this was about you.

bio-nonymous

Not about any other posts upstream on this thread:

WOW! A whole lot of totalitarianism advocated up in here...

Cheerful

Why do I bother to try to help?

Yeah, I bet you do.
I'd rather have questions I can't answer, than answers I can't question.

Your exoskeleton is weighting you down.

You need to shed it and let your already-formed endoskeleton do that work.

Losing a carapace is scary.

But it can be too great a burden to be useful, too.

Trust your endoskeleton. Truly.

Let it get stronger and do the work it's made to do.

That's either a reading fail, or a comprehension fail.

It looks deliberate either way.

It really warms my heart to see how earnestly people are engaging with the topic. I'm also a little surprised it's still going; but then, it's a famous puzzle.

FishProf

You would rather be right than happy.  So, keep convincing yourself you are right.

There, happy now?
