Regardless, I abstain as I feel this discussion is a bit pointless.
If you don't see the purpose of the thread, WHY DID YOU BOTHER POSTING HERE? Do you think we need your opinion this badly?
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

I SAID YES or NO.
You can't expect to make such a provocative poll and not get any discussion about the subject whatsoever, especially given how strong and opposing opinions there are about this subject.

Logic flaw there. Yes or no is an opinion. You say no opinions. Therefore if someone says yes or no, they are violating the rules. Yet, if they say something else, they haven't said yes or no, so they're still not following the rules. As such, your rules are null and void. Sorry, better luck next time.

The space for the topic title is quite limited, and I wanted it to contain the whole idea. I'll think about something better.

This thread is remarkably stupid. Rather than figuring out what's wrong, it's simply "I hate it"/"I like it". No ability to give a reason why or what's wrong with it or how it could be fixed.
Absolutely fucking brilliant.
For the record, I'm indifferent. And you can take your "yes or no only" shit and shove it.

Wow, winning a ton of friends here.
I think it was asked earlier, who do you think you are to be so important to be able to place demands on who replies to your threads or how they do so?
You aren't a moderator. Your thread will have zero effect on the direction of this website. If Bisqwit found this a necessary question to ask, he would ask it. Congrats, you are not important.

yeah, that's 100% true, but I hope you'll notice YOU are the ones insulting people and YOU are driving the thread offtopic.

klmz said it to zggzdydp, but he didn't give him the credits when he wrote:
"do you want the movie get published" is better than "do you like watching"
Heh, that was funny.
Anyway, I'm going to fix my previous bad behavior in this thread with this:
YES
You're just fucking stupid, everyone hates you, sorry to tell you the truth. no one likes you, you're someone pretentious and TASes only to be on speed game, but don't have any hope, you won't get there.

thanks Cardboard, Wockes, Blublu, Soulrivers, mz, alden and Swordless.
Can any of you write a "how to say just YES or NO without justifying it" tutorial to help these confused people?

I missed parody? I can't see it. I don't see what you did there.

Seriously, calm down.
