And what is considered retardation? Do "The Good Guys" get to pick? Could it be possible that others have differing views on what is retarded and not? What is your personal criteria for retardation? Answer these questions please.

It has been stated many times that 'Gah' is used to indicate "none of the above." Most polls do not provide every single option that every single person would want. Also, many polls deal with complex issues, yet give simplistic options.

No, reread the discussion in its context.

Yes, but they would be wrong.

That which retards i.e. stymies the development or progress of a thing. The gah response in polls stymies discussion and is thus a retardation. Another example would be this:

"GAH!" or

"Gah Canadian positive Gah !" or

"Gah!" or

"Gah!" or

"HaG" (this is an example of the gaggle who can't spell)

If one isn't happy with the options then they shouldn't respond to the poll obviously. If one refuses to respond because gah is not present then that is an example of the gaggle mentality.

I did. The base use of Q.E.D. is as I described. It means sufficient proof has been given. To use it directly after a position is stated (even if it is your interlocutor's) suggests sufficiency of that stance. My guess is that is not what you wanted to say.

I think a good steak to the heart of this thread is in order. It's older than Nosferatu.

There's nothing more annoying than a corpse with a mind of its own.

What swine dared add a vote to the poll just now?

This is literally worse than the destruction of Nimrud. :gah2:

Well, Krast never viewed "dead and buried" as a permanent thing. :shrug:

Someone is just testing whether the admins got everything with the host move...

Good times and great people. Thats what Org is.:bow:

Or pardon me for quoting myself from this thread from gentle summer of 07:
