Are analogies now banned on Askville? Apparently?

I like how you took OH's sarcastic answer and treated it as truth to try to prove your point, when his point was the exact opposite. I don't think anyone should be assumed to be an idiot, and that is what you have done, by claiming that someone lacks the intelligence necessary to decipher the most basic of analogies. Why do you hold your userbase in such low regard?

I am exactly as welcoming to new users as I am to veterans - heck, see my various responses to Shellie, Turbo, DPD, and Rock for proof of that. The difference is that they don't have the gut reaction to hit "report abuse" everytime they don't like something. It's time for you to stop reacting every time someone clicks that little button.

Use some common sense before moderating posts, and decide whether there was really offense, or if a single person just didn't like the answer. MrItty 53 months ago.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
