Great timing you've got there with deciding to step in. How about actually paying attention to the spamming and gaming of the system instead of jumping on me for getting annoyed with someone making me repeatedly explain myself?

I even removed part of what you quoted before you responded, and the part I didn't remove is obviously half joking.




Sorry I missed your edit—and thanks for editing to make your comment more civil—but what remains is still not ok, and there have been other examples recently. Language like that adds noise rather than signal, and causes harm even if the intention wasn't to.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
