You shouldn't hold a standard for others you don't abide in yourself. That will just not do.

So, things that "just will not do" are not considered broken? Fascinating.

How badly must a thing not do before it is considered broken?

Matter of fact, "not doing" is pretty much the definition of broken. Even your lies are broken.

Not dealing with the topic of this thread is certainly "not doing".

We should be atheists because of flying bears? As good a reason as any.
