My problem with torture is the same I have with death penalty: how would you live with yourself if you later find you got an innocent by mistake? I don't think you can just apologize and say you had the best of intentions.

"Being right" gives you a high - that is why flame wars can be so addictive. Like cocaine it may give you instant gratification and pleasure but in the end it is not worth. Despite the unfortunate redaction, I guess the parent is

While ascii art is not easy to edit (it is simple enough for many uses) it shares all other advantages of readable plain text formats. I loved it.
