“Votes would have hovered around 0 if you had let it go when it turned out your joke didn’t quite work. Meanwhile, I had best not reply further lest I be found to violate the “don’t feed the trolls” injunction.”
Wow, that’s pretty harsh. Can you provide any evidence to back up that accusation as to my intent? How do I know you’re not just a sore loser?
Meanwhile, I’m posting in good faith, and I think I’m holding my ground pretty well. The “there’s no real evidence that humans always die” thing that occurred to me (see Zack’s comments on this thread segment) strikes me as very discussable.

It sounds like you are posting in good faith. Just go easy on the “but I’m winning! lolz, groupthink!” stuff, that tends to be a tipping point.
I do recommend you look a bit closer at what people are telling you about ‘evidence’, it’s important. I have been involved with communities in which finding clever ways to say “That isn’t evidence. Where is your evidence?” in response to any given piece of evidence is rewarded with status and the stronger the evidence ignored the more respect is granted. This, for most part, isn’t one of them. If you continue to speak nonsense and fail to comprehend those who are engaged with you you’ll just be voted down to oblivion.
No, you accused me of being a troll. Are you now stating you believe me to be a troll posting in good faith?
“If you continue to speak nonsense and fail to comprehend those who are engaged with you you’ll just be voted down to oblivion.”
What a perfectly rational argument. I’m speaking nonsense, therefore, you are right and I’m wrong, and I must change. Brilliant… if a trifle lazy. Okay, tell me what to say so that I get voted most popular boy. What’s considered acceptable rational thought around here?
I must say that I loved your ‘Just go easy on the ”...groupthink!” stuff, that tends to be a tipping point .’

And that from a “rational thinker”!
