Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests


Why is it that so many well-intentioned threads devolve into wordsmithing contests? Is it necessary to argue about the meaning of posts when the language thereof is reasonably clear on its face?

The posters pretend to argue their particular subject or cause but in reality they are imposing their 'superior' ego over the other and others who read the thread are like spectators in the Colleseum.

Perhaps you mean Möbius strip.

Pop quiz - what happens to a Möbius strip when you cut it in half length wise, down the centerline of the strip?

part 2 - what happens when you cut the result of part 1 in half, similarly?

Is that wordsmithing? 😳
Are wordsmithing contests any different from the usual sniper attacks or whack a mole contests? Really? Whack a mole. The sport of kings.
