Hi --
Since this is the ccTALK list, and I can therefore post about whatever
I want (per Dave), Iwas wondering what kind of underwear y'all prefer?
Personally, I prefer tighty-whiteys, but I'm afraid they might not be
trendy enough.
Thanks,

There are other ways to go about this other than hypocrisy. I seem to
recall you just citing the list?s ?No overly offensive or junk posts?.
Can you confirm?
You could?ve played this much better.
Indeed. Josh's post that kicked this discussion thread off was certainly a
"junk post".
While this isn't Wikipedia, and we seem to be more tolerant of trolls
here, over there this sort of thing happens frequently enough that there
are project pages dedicated to this very phenomenon. There, this sort of
"well if X can do Y, then I'll do Y just to /prove/ my point that X
shouldn't do Y" response from Josh would have been met with a reference to
"WP:POINT"
[

and quite possibly a public flogging. In fact, both Josh's and Mike's
posts in these threads would have probably already garnered a response of
"WP:REICHSTAG" or "WP:SPIDERMAN"

long before now.
