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.

It means 'loser' It comes from the word 'jobber' who is a type of pro wrestler who's role is to lose and make the other guy look strong going in to more meaningful matches. (Synonyms: jabroni, enhancement talent, job guy, carpenter, fall guy) Often these are young wrestlers cutting their teeth in the business. But there are some wrestlers who specialize in the role. Note: some wrestlers (jobbers) find the word 'jobber' to be insulating, insinuating they are in the role due to lack of talent. The term enhancement talent is considered more respectful.
