Glass houses, rikky.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Can we somehow merge this thread with the "last person to post wins" thread?
I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty.

Only total peace of mind is able to switch off our many problems.

Total peace of mind doesn't exist. You haven't found it. And all you have as evidence is the word of a fool.

Can't provide what can't exist.

Absolutely. However, truisms aside. in this context the idiom relates to "Members Who Most Consistently turn to mocking in order to mask their ignorance". This is atypical, generally speaking.
