Here's a blast from the past...
For the sake of brevity here on NazNet, I believe a Numbered Pre-Stated Response system would be in order.
The idea is that when you are in a discussion with someone and want to give a generic response, you just respond with a number that states your position.
For instance, you might want to post, in response to this message:
Scott,
101
--Signed
Think of the time and effort this will save!
Here are some suggestions:
77 = "I fear I posted without thinking (again). Please forgive me (again)."
101 = "I don't really have anything to add here but had the uncontrollable urge to post something"
102 = "I have no idea of what you are talking about but want to compliment you on your spelling and punctuation"
103 = "You are winning the argument, but I have found a typo and am working on a post about that"
104 = "You are winning the argument, so consider this response to represent a brilliant counter-argument"
105 = "I don't have a good response so I am labeling you to be a Calvinist, Pentecostal, or Liberal"
106 = "I don't have a good response but I am sure someone else will put you in your place shortly"
107 = "How dare you disagree with me, I am a life long Nazarene!"
108 = "I have decided to drop the debate format and go to insults instead, consider yourself insulted!"
109 = "Actually, my mind is made up on this issue, so don't confuse me with the facts"
110 = "Posts which disagree with me are not welcome, respond only if you want to agree with my great wisdom"
111 = "I'm really just looking for a friendly post from some kind person"
112 = "Thanks for the laugh. Oh, you mean you were serious -- oops!"
666 = "Rather than deal with the issues at hand, I am going emotionally accuse you of sinister motives"
777 = "I have had a divine revelation about this, so any further debate is with the Lord and not me"
999 = "I only wish I had the intellectual brilliance of Scott Cundiff in explaining my position"
