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 haven't seen it in a little while, but I did see it plenty after that point - when people were still paying attention to the weekly "We kicked Iran's ass!" - "We need to go bomb Iran some more" stupidity. That seems to have either calmed down or the media stopped reporting on it. Either way, they probably lost the market effects so weren't making as much money so moved on to other ways to steal money.
