You make a good point there. Sometimes I get the idea that for some subjects it is enough if it is potentially possible to be hurt by the content (read: words), despite that both the grammar and meaning says something else. When form start being more important than meaning in a conversation, I find it difficult to actually extract meaning sometimes.I also sometimes wonder whether a board that request people to be able to be so creative in how they express themselves is a good place for people who for example have problems with expressing themselves of some reason (some depressives can have problems expressing themselves because depression can affect cognition, people who has never had the chance of getting a good education might have problems expressing themselves because they might not be used to "play with words" like this, people that have a lot lower than average intelligence might of understandable causes have problems expressing themselves, and some people are simply not good with words) and whether it then should be open for everybody to join?
