This thread serves as an earnest base for a discussion.
The rules:
* be clear!
* don't disguise things.
So there is an art to questioning.
The grammatic or syntactic structure is not making a question a question.
A question which is a statement in disuse is not furthering the communication.
If you want to I invite you to discuss the thesis above.

The post that was quoted here has been removedtwo good points drew.
* Ignoring disrupting posts can concentrate discussion
+ ignored disruptors are discouraged to continue disrupting.
- ignored posters could increase posting frequency or disruptive potential.
->ignoring will be harder
* A bit of lightheartedness and humor will increase the emotional interest in the topic and thread.
+ increased interest and better understanding
- becoming clownesk and thus disruptive

Same translator I used a few days ago in conversation on this forum with lolof and C. Hess.
Hope you enjoyed my feeble attempt at humour in another language.
