The only worse use of my LW time than participating in a dead-horse debate, would be participating in a debate about how to continue dead-horse debates.

(Doh! I think I just did.)

I think we should definitely start a flamewar about this. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about you to be able to effectively launch any ad hominem attacks or personal insults in your direction, so maybe you could go first, just to get the ball rolling.

Note for the humor-impaired: this is not a serious suggestion.

I don't know much about you either; and I don't know much about Hitler. Ergo, you are like Hitler.

Are you honestly trying to suggest that you know just as much about me as you do about Hitler? Really? Have you ever watched a documentary about me on the History Channel? Read about me in school? Compared people to me on internet message boards? I think not. Obviously this ridiculous assertion is the product of an irrational mind!
