    2. I have something to say, but don't trust myself to say it. (This is the most likely scenario 9 times out of 10)
Best way to learn is to take a flier and then have kleinbl00 swoop in and forcefully reeducate you.

This is the funniest thing I've read all day. I am still smiling. OK, fuck the ocean of thought. Hubski is China during the cultural revolution.

I'm a bit confused by your analogy but if it means kb is Mao, I will support it.

Yes, that's what I mean and what I figured you meant by your line about forceful re-education. During the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) many people were sent from the city to the country to be re-educated through labour. There were also re-education camps (prisons) in Vietnam at the end of the war there.

I believe that what you're saying is that there are many ways to educate and share ideas warmly. While the post at the top of this thread is quite awesome, it sounds weirdly hostile. kb is an awesome writer and contributor who I like very much, so when the forceful re-education occurs, I don't take it personally. But I still found your line very funny!!

There are still re-education camps in Vietnam.
