| Nov 26, 2015 at 17:04 | comment | added | Vladislavs Dovgalecs | @NickCox I fully agree with you here. Thanks for monitoring the forum, I appreciate that. I learned a lot from the posts here. | |
| Nov 26, 2015 at 17:03 | comment | added | Nick Cox | It's a tacit opinion of yours that the quotation is suitable content for the forum. Whether someone else said it is immaterial; that's what you're implying. I am not down-voting the answer, nor am I flagging it for moderators, but I think I am within forum guidelines in dissenting from your opinion as a matter of taste. No more, but no less. | |
| Nov 26, 2015 at 16:58 | comment | added | Vladislavs Dovgalecs | @NickCox I said nothing. I only cited a well known person. As many people, as many opinions. There are things that don't please me as well but as you said - "that is an opinion conversely". This is not the place for opinions. | |
| Nov 26, 2015 at 16:51 | comment | added | Nick Cox | And conversely. If you want to say that torture is amusing, I withdraw from discussion. | |
| Nov 26, 2015 at 16:47 | comment | added | Vladislavs Dovgalecs | @NickCox All respect but this is only your opinion. | |
| Nov 26, 2015 at 14:50 | comment | added | Nick Cox | I don't think references to torture (even indirect, allusive or metaphorical references) are ever a good basis for statements of this kind. Otherwise put, this is intended to be witty, and I get the joke too, but it's too black as well. | |
| Mar 6, 2015 at 23:23 | comment | added | whuber♦ | As you know, xeon, we would close any thread that attempted to "gather different opinions." Much more has to be read into the question, including the implicit understanding that answers be authoritative, objective, and useful. Although this one is authoritative, many will view it as being a useless caricature (and some have voiced those assessments in comments). | |

| Mar 5, 2015 at 22:46 | comment | added | Vladislavs Dovgalecs | @gung well, the OP asked how different people would describe it. It will always be his or her point of view or opinion. It will be different for different people. OP tried to gather different opinions IMHO. | |
