BK: Jon, I think you are conflating a dramatic ''production'' with a drama ''engine''. Think of a drama engine as the analog of a physics engine in a pinball game. Jimbo gave the world a free-wheeling ''drama engine'' — a venue where arbitrary actors can don costumes and synthetic [http://knol.google.com/k/barry-kort/cognition-affect-and-learning/3iyoslgwsp412/2#H7-Multi-Layer-Storybook-Character-Model ''personas''] and engage in improvisational street theater with each other. The result is a post-modern, pre-apocalyptic [http://underground.musenet.org:8080/utnebury/banshee.html theater of the absurd]. —[[User:Moulton|Moulton]] 14:14, 13 October 2008 (PDT)

JA: Thanks for finally admitting that you are NOT using the word "drama" in the ordinary sense of the word but more in line with the way that Wikipediots abuse the term. "Drama Engine" is a neologism that you just made up, so of course the notion of a drama engine cannot figure in the ordinary meaning of the word "drama".

Dear Abbie,
I tried shouting "theatre" in a crowded fire
but it did not improve ''The Review'' —
and then the Firemen dashed on the scene and
I found to my dismay that my Drama Engine was
no match for their Fire Engine.
Just call me,
All Wet @ Fahrenheit 451
