i think before people are allowed to post online they should have to take an introductory course to ensure they understand basic concepts such as "a joke" and "hyperbole" and "metaphors" and "women are people also"
There should also be enforceable penance for not adhering to this, besides time outs and banned accounts.

I wish I could convince all men that women are ppl
I wish I could convince most white women that women are ppl too

"Almost nothing is black or white." "There are shades of grey everywhere." "Everyone can hold multiple things in their head at once, including you." "Disagreeing with you is not automatically fascism." "Things which are clearly not equivalent/totally unrelated are of no use in a rational argument."
There should be a waiting period for any sort of "WELL, ACKSHUWALLIE..." response to a post.
Like you write the response, hit reply, and then a timer for 2 hours starts while it forces you to consider if you are reading the original post correctly.
