The official take the exclamation mark off Science! thread

[rfisher]

Or I'll sulk.

Don't think we need it.

Make it go away please.

[TheHeretic]

I like it... I vote for it to stay!

[extraT]

For consistency an ! should be added to all single-word forums:

Science!
Football!
Business!
Sports

and so on...

[TheHeretic]

yes!

[Balmoral]

It should go. It's stupid.

[Zad]

It always reminds me of this:



Keep it

With the UFO thread being one of the longest on this forum, I would suggest a question mark at the end would be more appropriate.

[Getragdogleg]

It makes no sense. Keep it!

so why single out Sports?

[Laplace]

If it annoys people then clearly it should stay!

Remove the sticky and let it die gracefully. There are other threads with antique stickies months old that that nobody reads any more (two on Home & Garden for example); they just take up space.

Perhaps it has an exclamation mark because science is very dull and hard, like well boring man, and so has to be whooped up a bit...

The larger upper section of the "!" represents God. The lower part (".") represents man who will always be in God's shadow. This proves God's existence.

Your zealous use of emphasis made me read your post in the style of William Shatner.

"How do you do a spoken word version of a rap song?"

"He found a way!"

I'm just copying The Register, whenever they run a story about Yahoo! they put an exclamation mark afte every word in the headline

[Westy Pre-Lit]

The exclamation mark denotes the pedantry and pomposity of science itself.

Which means the layman can come in here and stick up two fingers up at it.

I say leave it.
