Don't Laugh
Banned
The downside of GAF's strict moderation policy is that it produces epiphenomenally this teleological mentality where a discussion is settled when the other side is banned. It's the victory-condition approach to video games injected into some naïve conception of debate.
Honestly, I wouldn't still be on GAF if it didn't prune itself so assiduously, but the way in which this can, at times, be thuggishly reappropriated by non-admin/mod participants for pathetic ends can get quite annoying.
use your thesaurus more next time plz
