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:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Lemme just sharpen my pitchfork real quick

Don't forget the torches! It's not just for ambiance. The dull redish-orange glow underlighting an angry face helps drive the point home with dramatic flair.

I'm European, not American. Of course I have torches. How else would I find my way once the nightly dark covers the land? I've heard about eelcricity, but I ran out of eels, and I think they were the wrong type.

Yeah, I inferred that from the context, and I hope no offense was taken.

I like the bit about the eels. Sounds like something Terry Pratchett would write.
