I was running on caffeine and no sleep last night, I couldn't remember if it was "gabel" or "gavel" |

What if judge is presiding over case involving Pirates? |
|
|
That's the best idea I've ever heard! |
|
|
What a pity, this topic has been completely gutted. Is there a strong reason to maintain the 'I'm in a huff and I'm taking all my toys with me' system? |
|
|
Yes. The HalfBakery is nothing if not libertarian. |
|

I don't follow. Are you trying to say, 'Language is property'? And doesn't that therefore make the HB principle the traditionally conservative one of 'each man is sovereign in his own property'? Wouldn't libertarians consider such things communal if not exactly free? |
|
|
Or are you saying it would be unjustifiably 'centralizing' to appropriate users' contributions to the HB commonwealth -- smack of coercion, and all that? |
|
|
Either way, I'm not sure I buy it. |
|
|
Has this been discussed at length elsewhere? |
|
|
General.. yes, see link. I rather like the effect. AA's response to 'wax's pirates question is serendipituous. |
|
|
Ah yes, I see (& agree with) the reasoning now. In a nutshell, it's: Get a life. |
