Aug 27, 2013 at 23:28 comment added Andrew B Yeah, you've got a point. I was mostly trying to address my eye-twitching whenever someone derails a discussion with sentiments along the lines of the topic matter is pointless, let me inject my alternate reality fanfic of what SF is about into this otherwise useful debate. In the future I'll just link to the nearest dupe, or this topic failing that.

The Usenet had no instruments for closing or voting, so in most groups the usual method of expressing doubt about a question's topicality or quality was crafting a post to ridicule the original poster as bluntly as possible. Which often resulted in endless flame wars.
