For those wondering why My Little Pony is so popular...

Also: wikipedia? Really? How about Cambridge or Webster?

Because I'm lazy.

Because I'm educated, you didn't have to tell me the definition of sensationalism, sourced from a website that anyone who hasn't a clue what they're talking about can change. And I only say this because I HATE it when other people say it -

I'm just sayin'.

I can make no guesses on how educated you are, because you are just a random person on the internet whom I do not know. I just saw you comment on an article I knew was sensationalist and thought your definition of it sounded slightly different from what I thought it was. My comment was unnecessary, but it was one of my weaker moments, please forgive me.

And I wouldn't have quoted wikipedia if I saw that the definition was wrong. But a discussion about wikipedia's credibility is something we should save for another time and thread.

No! We'll have it now!

Kidding. There was no need to apologize. It just gets on my nerves when people quote wikipedia constantly. You only did it once and the definition you provided is accurate. It really burns me up when someone uses it in an argument, i.e. "wikipedia says this, so suck it" and then I have to show them how Stephen Colbert saved a rhinocerous species from extinction by getting his fans to change Wikipedia.

well well well, what have we learned? if you continue a stupid argument, suspension is inevitable.

Especially if you start throwing around the T-word. I don't know what it is with the mods on this site, but they like to randomly punish people for calling other members trolls -- even when they're blatantly trolling. They're inconsistent with it, too -- which is my only beef with the rule.

I can understand that. Also, I find it funny when someone quotes wikipedia just to discover that the article recently had been bombed by trolls.

Just sayin'

Wow. Looking back at this forum I took no part in is like... Looking at a war torn wasteland. So sad.
