Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I will tolerate everyone but the intolerant. I don't care what colour your skin is, what car you drive, which team you support, who you sleep with*, what clothes you wear, what gender you are. I care if you make other people's lives miserable because of those things or for any other bigoted reason I haven't mentioned.
*as long as they are consenting adults.
I think this is the metaethically appropriate response to the paradox of tolerance.
Only slightly related, but there are two things in the world I can't stand: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.
Yeh baby! I mean obviously the Dutch are the exception to all of the above.
misread this as "mathematically appropriate"
I heard that in Finn's voice when he says, "Mathematical!"
