    That's not quite right.

      I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

        Yes it is. I've seen people commenting on being DanSed after they saw that the post they replied to had been edited or corrected.

            No.

            DanSing is merely the act of editing posts early and often. Posting, then editing and editing. It has nothing to do with right & wrong.

              As opposed to KH, who puts out post after post in the minimum required time span, totally unable to complete a thought, or edit.

                That's referring to KHing a thread.

                  Very true.

                    Well in fairness to MrFun, the act of DanSing almost uniformly comes up in the context of being wrong, since correct DanSes are far less likely to go noticed by others. I've never seen anyone note that he/she or someone else DanS'ed from being right to being more right.

                        As I said, it's not about being right/wrong.

                        Someone could explain something, someone else responds, but the OP edited inbetween adding more detail which confused the responder. Thus, it became a DanS without anything to do with right or wrong.

                          Yeah, I know Asher. But that still does not prove me wrong about being DanSed. Like you said, you can be DanSed without becoming wrong about something, but I'm still correct too, in saying that the other way you can become DanSed is that you CAN become wrong when replying to a post before it's edited. You're right, and I'm right.

                            No. When you are defining a word, the correct definition includes all valid uses of it. You defined the word to mean a specific use-case, not the full definition. You provided an example of use, not definition.

                                What about the Heraverse?
                                Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
                                The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
                                The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
