Nach, thank you for making my day, and for enlightening everyone with this wonderful piece of wisdom.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Thanks. If they're well written, I don't see why not.

I thought about it for a while, and I came up with this submission. Technique: Attempting to use the No True Scotsman fallacy to nullify your opponent's reputability. Example: A previous poster claims, "I am a doctor, and I believe that chocolate is good for you." Reply with, "Apparently you are not a very good doctor, otherwise you would know that chocolate is bad for you." Bonus points if this exchange happened immediately after you implied or claimed that only doctors have valid opinions on the health benefits of chocolate. (Maybe this could be split into its own thread and become an interesting topic of conversation)

Done. As to your idea there, I like it, but the phraseology needs to be improved, and if possible, come up with a funnier example.
