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.

Oh hey, I think we did that in 2017 with our pandemic response team. I hear there have been no negative consequences

There's no evidence of negative consequences.

That's true! I just looked for the website and there's nothing! Yay!!! I was worried something like 1.2 million Americans were dead because of it, but apparently not!

(Satire. The CDC website still exists. For now...)
