I cannot for the life of me understand why LMNO clarifying to RWHN that his question wasn't intended as a trap is even something anyone else is questioning. WTF.
LMNO's comment implied that other people were trying to "trap" RWHN, which seems like an absurd spin on the way debates occur on the internet and especially this message board.
It's a completely different medium with completely different expectations.
Begs the question, Net. If you're the only one that felt it implied that, then maybe the error lies in your inference than his implication.
Nope. He came right out and said that, subsequently.

If you put yourself in his shoes, that could sound suspiciously like some guy trying to corner him, or someone who was about to use specious arguments and figures that don't apply to the case at hand, trying to prove his ideas invalid; which has happened in this thread a few times.
That's fair. I'm still incredulous as to how you can claim the tactic LMNO is talking about can't exist on the internet, though.

OH MY SWEET MERCIFUL ZOMBIE CHRIST FIGURE! D... DID YOU... DID YOU USE THAT TERM CORRECTLY!? YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN, EOC!

There's a wrong way to use it? What the hell does that even look like? Not disputing the god among men comment, though.
