There should be a law, here, and I'm sure I've said it before, that there should not be allowed, more than a "double-negative", in a post, as they get my head spinning, wildly.Drakkith said:Hmmm. I'm not convinced it's not purposely written to appear completely uneducated.
Wait! Negating the "nots", was not that difficult.

Never mind. That makes sense.
Ok. I'm off to take my nap now...

On the other hand, I have met some people who had some incredibly weird (including stupid) ideas.Drakkith said:Hmmm. I'm not convinced it's not purposely written to appear completely uneducated.
I guess there is no way to distinguish between the two without more data.

You better believe it. It's a bit like Poe's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the parodied views.

Signed. I would also like to propose legislation to get rid of Mondays. In doing so, we wouldn't have to go to work after a good weekend.

Also confused by double by double negatives, (Alan Greenspan did a funny extension “ I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant”)POEs law talks about creationism as a good example and below is an illustration of that.Difficult to tell first viewing if they are serious or not.Same with the OP, I think it’s a joke (95% certain) perhaps the editor wasn’t sure?Drakkith said:You better believe it.
