@JanDvorak I am never angry, I am a sweet tempered bird. I want to test if your pokeafterpoof userscript works or not, simple.

@InfiniteRecursion I think so... They have all day.

While you people play chess I'm going to watch some videos of random people dancing!

Undo

I think I know how, but only with like a day per move @ProgramFOX. Do we just agree to try to play fast?

ProgramFOX

@Undo That's fine.

@Braiam the point of this rule is to prevent serial votes

@JanDvorak No.

Jan Dvorak

18:51

The question isn't stellar either

hichris123

Eh. My point is, we don't downvote just because you're rude.

If that were the case, if Linus asked a question it would be downvoted.

Jan Dvorak

oh. sorry.

Infinite Recursion

np :)

hichris123

@InfiniteRecursion Well, really, we're all rude. We just try to contain that rudeness, and not let it show. Linus is the poster child of not restraining that rudeness, ergo he's become an example for a rude person. It's like using Disney as an example of a movie company; they've just built up a reputation for [x].

Infinite Recursion

@hichris123 I disagree. Everybody isn't rude, restraining themselves.

hichris123

@InfiniteRecursion mm... I'm going to disagree with your disagreeing. :P

lostsock

19:04

@InfiniteRecursion Correct. I have to try hard to be rude, you tiny little pee colored worm eater.

hichris123

@lostsock Is that because you've trained yourself not to be rude? Is that because, subconsciously, you tell yourself not to be rude?

Infinite Recursion

@hichris123 :)

@lostsock quack quack

animuson

PS You guys should be voting to close that question. It's not at all clear what he's talking about.

hichris123

@InfiniteRecursion Okay, rethinking it, not everyone is rude, but people restrain themselves from saying what first comes into their head.

@animuson I'm a lowly 2.5ker here.

Infinite Recursion

@hichris123 Some people feel annoyed in certain situations, others feel amused. The former tend to be rude, the latter tend to be comical. One example is my nemesis Bart, he is of the latter type.

@hichris123 what comes in our head, depends on the life we have lived till now. I may say chocolate, and someone may think energy bar, perceptions differ. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

hichris123

19:13

@InfiniteRecursion True, ducks definitely have more chocolate bars than us humans. :)

@Doorknob why?

Doorknob

Braiam

@JanDvorak I have to agree with Doorknob

Jan Dvorak

23:03

should the tag be left empty, then?

hichris123

I prefer not having tag wiki/excerpt rather than having a useless one

there should be a FAQ post about how to write good tag wiki/excerpts with precise examples

Jan Dvorak

@Braiam why?

Braiam

@JanDvorak is easier to find the specific tags that need a tag wiki/excerpt instead of having to read tons of them just to rewrite them, is just inefficient

Jan Dvorak

23:17

What would you write as a guidance for that specific tag?

"for questions about the dragonfly speech recognition framework for python"?

That doesn't give any more information, does it?

Rejecting one but accepting the other seems like nothing but a formality
