Recently I visited the Tilted Forum Project. Great forum. But I stumbled across this post. It defied everything I knew and learned about posting. How is this a post I asked myself? The man next to me grunted, "Best work here, enjoy it while it lasts." If this man, I thought, thinks this single word is the best comment in the thread, than I'm really missing something. Is this a post to you? What is a post to you?

I think you're missing its author's point, lordjeebus.
It's pretty obvious that he was making a statement about moral absolutism and its effect on philisophical discourse today. By pushing the boundaries of what we consider a post, he wished to make his audience simultaneously rethink the nature of their own posts -- what makes them so unique, in a harsh world when anyone can dismiss you with a simple "no."
