It has been made clear that divisiveness is the great taboo, and not to be tolerated. No measure, regardless how sensible, is to be taken if it may be viewed as divisive.

For this reason, it is obvious that we must outlaw divisiveness. On that, surely, we can all agree.

No we can't.

Classifying divisiveness as taboo is divisive.

Clamping down on divisiveness is somewhat like clamping down on a puddle.... you end up wet and with a whole puddle.

mfree's comments are very unfortunate. While I share his concerns concerning the nuances of defeating divisiveness, his language and tone are very divisive.

I'm offended.

Can we all agree that I'm offend?

Depends on who you ask.

I guess I'm divided on the issue.

I think we should all agree to disagree.

I think you're a jackass. We can all agree on that.

I'm not sure whether to agree, or disagree...

Now now, fistful, starting trouble once again? *tsk, tsk* Tongue

griz · « **Reply #14 on:** September 27, 2006, 04:25:56 PM »

Perhaps we can outlaw negative thoughts and dissent. Tongue

I think 280 is being divisive with himself, which is the most divisive way to be.

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #16 on:** September 27, 2006, 05:28:13 PM »

Barbara, such divisive remarks do not contribute to open and honest dialogue.

The liberal motto: "If you agree with me, you are wise, equitable, and reasonable. If you disagree with me, you are unwise, selfish, and divisive."

I voted for the outlawing of divisiveness, then I voted against it.

Unisaw · « **Reply #19 on:** September 27, 2006, 09:04:25 PM »

I voted with the divisiveness caucus.

You forgot hateful, backward and a few other slams.

Voting one way just because the other cacusians are voting that way is divisive.

Oh wait ...

Ex-MA Hole · « **Reply #22 on:** September 28, 2006, 04:11:58 AM »

And remember that only you can prevent forest fires.

Maybe.

Isn't it divisive to post one line that says a moderator deleted your comments? Oh, never mind. I think I'll have another stack of pancakes. Or is eating pancakes divisive too?
