Agreed. When I exaggerate for affect (or effect? I dunno which)
   - I do it from an absurdist point of view or that of comedian. I
   mock myself as much as I can. I'd rather be thought of "the
   fool" and progress discussion into new areas than be thought
   intelligent and wise while merely continuing what turns out to
   be a playground "sand throwing" fight.

   "I'm right. Who agrees with me?"
   "You're wrong. Who agrees with me?"
   "This thing is stupid. Who agrees with me?"
   etc.
   and like everybody else in those forums, I love diving right
   into the sand and throwing it with everybody else tongue
