Mods: We need meta-forums (fora?) so that we

[PCIntern]

can discuss the forum itself...i.e. "Topics which don't belong in GD-P" or "Repetitive postings in LBN", or "9/11 anything"...

In this manner, we can provide a haven for cynics and criticizers of the methodology, rather than of the topics themselves...unrecs are squared in value...the second unrec counts as 4, the third counts as 9...etc. Further, instead of being 'tombstoned', there is a "Great Mountain Of Bird Guano" brought down on trolls and other instigators of trouble in these forums. Everything is magnified...as well as it should be...for it is the process and not the substance which at issue here.

Of course, we would then require meta-meta-forums to discuss the discussion....

Someone call Richard Hofstadter of "Godel, Escher, Bach" fame...see what he says about this.


P.S. This is a Swiftian proposal...please don't take this seriously, and if you're a RW troll, well, you know what to do...

3. Cute sig line but...

in fact, they would be known as GD-M Sports-M, or even Lounge-M...

This is a higher-order DU...

4. I like that, but would there be that many or just one big DU-M?

I'd go there...

2. Is this reply autological or heterological?
