we need a standard form of anti-rec
maybe that's it - when a post is stupid, trivial, annoying, just reply with "un-rec" and let it go at that. No arguments, no flaming, no nothing. Just a string of "un-rec n/t" replies.

Or maybe a selection from a set of adjectives:

snotty
stupid
pointless
redundant

no counter-statements to feed the OP and keep up the churn - just basically everyone flip them the bird and move on


(ok, now I'm waiting to see how many "un-recs" I get) :rofl:

1. Just don't post on threads that bother you.
Simple. I almost didn't post on this one.

3. What if someone posts an OP that includes one of Euclid's arguments?
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 12:33 PM by Boojatta
No matter how many people posted "un-rec n/t", the thread would be polluted with an argument and we would all fall from DU grace, especially if the person who posted one of Euclid's arguments happens to be named "Adam."

5. What if the thread or post is unpopular but holds an inconvenient truth? n/t

7. Here's a link to someone's argument against something in Euclid:

Do you know how old Euclid would be if he hadn't died? How dare the young whipper-snapper argue with Euclid?
