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.

I don't know if you intended your comment to be humorous, but I found it hilarious. The phrase "you must be fun at parties" instinctually caused me to be on edge, because it's so often said in an assholish, sarcastic way (especially online), but I was delighted to see that the rest of your comment thoroughly subverted that through nerdy earnestness. The contrast and the surprise was quite funny to me.

Thanks for taking the time to interpret and appreciate it. I put more time into those kinds of comments, and I'm glad it was coherent enough for my intent to be inferred.
