@Miniman In terms of campaigning against a candidate? I don't think there are, so long as it stays within the bounds of Be Nice, and doesn't devolve into repetition that would attract standard mod intervention. So basically, respectful is good, regardless of content.
I would hope it isn't a free action. "I take a 5' step forward, for drama." "Okay, then--" "And another." "Wait hold o--" "And another." "Stop" "Another."
From which I might extrapolate a modern equivalent being something like neck-breaker, skull-crusher, etc.
Also from Wikipedia:
> Because the places protected by bretèches were usually vital, they were usually manned by professional soldiers, often mercenaries in the Middle Ages.
@NautArch I found myself using the phrase out loud the other day, and kinda recoiled on hearing it, despite it coming from me. Without doing more research into existing discussion around it I'm not sure, but my sense on my own is that I'm probably going to avoid the idiom.
@SevenSidedDie @NautArch I think it possibly depends on if a totem pole actually recognizes a hierarchy or not. if it does the phrase might not be too offensive,... maybe
@BESW sheesh, I just want to point out for the record, taxes are too stupidly complicated, we really need to do something about that
and I can't say I know exactly what can be done, but it's a hassle just to get taxes done, let alone the fact that they also mean the government is literally taking your money XD
@trogdor If we lived in a regular state, I'd have a much easier time of this. It's translating my tax software into Guam tax law that always messes me up.
