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.

There's a lot of context missing here, the full "conversation" is this: https://imgur.io/gallery/3xT9L5x

There are several copies/versions of the ML thought (this is also a matter of debate) to be painted by Leonardo himself, and the Prado version – unlike the "original" – has been restored with state of the art techniques, and it shows eyebrows.

One thing many people don't realize is that all those famous paintings looked drastically different at their time, they have faded, yellowed, darkened, and very often have been altered, overpainted, or even cut.
