I Approve Highly Of The Clickbait Rule.

RE: I Approve Highly Of The Clickbait Rule.
I think the rule butchers the art form that is thread making by snagging 'vague' titles within it as well. Place hasn't been a proper debate forum between the religious and nonreligious in ages; pointless to hamfistedly drive us back to those days through authoritarian overreach. My 2 cents... but I don't care enough about this place these days to stake jack on it, as when you spend little time in a place, it's like my voting this last year: what right do I have to decide that place's fate?

Zero. Not a mod, not a community leader, just a Violet yet again disappointed with the bulldozing of her old stomping grounds. Undecided
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Why does your fist get a free pass?
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.'

It's downright trumpish

"Punishment?" An interesting word choice. People like Drippy can fill the forums with insanity, but if we post a thread with a subject meant to provoke curiosity we will be punished. Hmmm. What was that about protecting my right to say things even if you disagree?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

It's why I prefer the term 'sanction' myself. It doesn't carry as much portentous baggage.

What about some good old fashioned 'smiting'?

You get that when you've smitten off more than you can chew.

Fuck, I'm doing dad jokes now.
