Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Ugh. My friend and I have a name for people like that - door pullers. It came from this one incident we saw while travelling for work where some rich dude started angrily pulling on the door handle of the car because his driver (his actual driver, like not an Uber or taxi) wasn't fast enough unlocking it.

I'm totally going to start using that term, it's perfect!

Glad you like it. It honestly just encompasses so much in two short words.

"Oh he's a total door puller".

Boom. You instantly know what you're dealing with.
