Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I have few in my family.
One likely contributed to the death of another as he convinced his brother in law to not get the vaccine.
He now goes with the explanation that the hospital killed him. Ignores (or comes with new conspiracy theories) when asked why his brother in law needed to go to hospital if it was just cold?
You know what's funny? When he eventually caught covid (fortunately for him it was omicron variant, the other family member got delta). When he was sick he was willing to take anything, including a full bag of monoclonal antibodies (do you know how many microchips they could fit in one bag???) but then doctors didn't want to give it to him.
Of course after he recovered, he resumed talking about conspiracy theories.
