| Yup. It's filled with disgruntle people who want to make others miserable. He's better off avoiding this place. |

Personalizing or emotionalizing posts is unhelpful and unhealthy. Nevertheless, let me offer a sincere apology to wooden nickels for apparently wounding a genuine sincerity.
| Quote: |
| A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocks heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as Irish policy in general. In English writing, the phrase "a modest proposal" is now conventionally an allusion to this style of straight-faced satire. |
This. The intention of posts attributed to "mistaken belief" were meant only in jest, and were ended with the phrase "a modest proposal" specifically for the purpose of alerting anyone to that effect. |
