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’d prefer “dumb as a husky.” Which is to say, smart enough to get into relatively creative predicaments but too dumb to get out. The dunning kruger zone.

A colleague of mine is one of the stupidest people I've ever met, but also among the most arrogant, so I say he's like a pigeon.
