The stale arguments rule is idiotic because it privileges gross, bad opinions. Because the only thing that triggers it is responding. You can express the same disgusting opinions however many times you want, but people only get to refute you once.

Someone says the same gross poo poo again, in a slightly different way? Thats fine. Refute that, the same way you did before? Now you're arguing, stale-style.

also itd be cool if any of the eight mods addressed the text of the post that got cat bothered probed, that flaming stink has posted about multiple times in this thread about, and everyone has politely ignored.

Most of that post is Koos explaining something everybody else figured out already, and apologizing for a bad probe. The meat of the post lies unaddressed: that mods posting opinions like that is loving gross, and creates a space that's hostile to certain classes of people.

Mods are posters, and I know the new style sees any kind of horrific view as valid to post if you link to a study, but the people in power saying poo poo like that means more to the lurking reader than if I say it. Should it not? Probably, but anyone saying it doesn't, well, lol.
