Has the bias made this forum essentially irrelevant?

What a great idea. But I am reminded of a StarTrek: The Next Generation episode where Data became enamored (if such a thing is possible from an artificial person) with the fictional character, Sherlock Holmes. He even sported a pipe to be in character. At some point in the story Geordi asks the holodeck to make a simulacrum of Professor Moriarty - but he miscues when he tells the holodeck to make Moriarty smarter than Data instead of smarter than Sherlock. In the end, they finally appear to give the holodeck Moriarty all he wants - a space ship equipped with food generators, full defensive capability, a fine woman companion to accompany him and the whole universe to explore. But it is just another holodeck room - a simulation.Perhaps the wonderful Percy could produce a similar illusion - when an abuser logs in, he is given the appearance that everything is hunky-dory cool as it always was, but instead his stuff has been sequestered off into a meta-thread of its own.There may be those who would wish for such a thing.There may also be those who believe this has already occurred.

Verbing weirds words.

Let's take a look at this gem of a sentence. It starts with a capital letter and properly ends with a period:"My dog weighs has curly hair."my dog = adjective noun - the subject of the sentence. Yes....then we get 2 (two), not 1 (one), but 2 verbs: "weighs" is the first one, so our brains are already anticipating things like "22 pounds" or "10 kilograms" or "heavily on my stress level" to be forthcoming in the sentence. - BUT NO! we get another verb, "has", meaning possesses or holds. The remainder, "curly hair", is clearly an arbitrary characteristic one might see in a sentence diagram following often-enough verbs like "has" to make the trio "has curly hair" seem to be a common ordinary chunk of english in and of itself. So what happened to "weighs"? It was purposely FUCKED OFF to make a cute (in the mind of the author) analog of what the author is thinking is going on in this forum. There is a good probability that the author feels in a very deep way that this is exactly what's been going on. The author might indeed be from a place far away like China! We must allow for that or a like possibility. Afterall, it would be of the utmost egregious error in all of us to attack someone who does not even have (see the word "has" above) the most basic of proper linguistic arms to raise up against the attack.Think about it. The author went through some trouble thinking about this and came up with "My dog weighs has curly hair." This was the 1st of the examples Bolder-Dash came up with here. This was something actually thought out. I suspect an attempt at a purposeful word salad supreme here, not something like "Pilc edding wobbid nogull, tolc engwom toabeng charparth", no, using real english words to express what the opposing viewpoints were coming across to him were like. Like?Like, I'm all, like, sat down on my butt, like, in the dark evening sky on the grass and going, like, WOW.China! China? Might as well be....Suppose instead we try to divine what the author was really trying to posit here (again quoting):"My dog weighs has curly hair."Maybe this was an observation that "curly-haired dogs, of which I own at least one of, weigh more (possibly when WET) than other dogs or objects of similar characteristics"?Or maybe his dog was merely named "weighs"??? (LOL)Who knows. But it was fun.If men are from Mars and Women are from Venus....then Creationists are from Pluto and Evolutionists are from Mercury??Man! (and Woman!), we had better figure this problem out! Because when the aliens eventually do arrive and we still cannot figure each other out, we are going to have a MAJOR problem.
