This is the end of discourse on Poal.

I could let it slide on individual subs, but this is too far; ideas gone unmolested is the promotion of cancer... I suppose that I will have to find a new home.

EDIT: I propose the following solution.

Instead of outright blocking individual users, their replies and conversations are INSTEAD automatically collapsed so that their speech is not infringed upon by allowing the choice to see it, and that those blocking them don't have to see it if they choose not to.

See for petition to change it.

I'm not talking a reductio ad absurdum, I'm talking about reducing words as a whole to only the essentials. The same thing can always be said with far less words, but most people choose to use more, to look more intelligent (it isn't). However, intentionally expanding prose creates opening for confusion and manipulation, so the opposite is kikey; literal literary pilpul.

Expanding one's vocabulary goes a long way to creating effective and shorter sentences.
