I would, but I'm sure there are only about four people on Earth who could live up to your definition of "quality" literary debate.McParadigm wrote:Nearly every series that has ever started good overstayed its welcome and has a shit ending debate merun2death wrote:I'm sure McP is an expert on epic fantasy.
The rest of us would just get a Nic Cage gif.

Re: On The Media: Where Do You Get Your News?
this throwdown in a nutshell:
McP posts innocuous stuff about Fox News being Fox News
R2D has a flashback to his days operating a gutenberg printing press in Da Nang and throws a lopsided swing at McP
McP calmly steps out of the way
R2D refuses to calm down and attempts to rush McP but trips over a desk covered in papers
McP helps R2D up and offers to give him a ride home
R2D begins a soliloquy about how 'home' doesn't exist anymore since that day in Da Nang. There can never be Home again.
McP slowly backs out of the room and heads toward the parking lot
Exile in Guyville begins to be heard blaring from the now closed office door
McP reaches his car door and stops, convinced he may have heard a loud single 'bang', but that it must just be the music

Nice, 96583UP.
