Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Not much of a murder.

A janitor might have the responsibility for keeping the towels stocked and not have the actual title 'Towel Czar."

Also, it's funny how when people are referring to Russian nobility it's 'tsar' and when it's a bossy-boss it's 'czar.'

Yes, and when they're German, it's Kaiser, or Roman it's Ceasar. Weird, right?

I can't believe I never realised the connection between Tsar/Czar and words like Caesar and Kaiser.
