JA: There is a fundamental social wrong that hides at the core of Wikipedia, a wrongness that is complicit with the worst of its content, but far more its cause than its effect.  We need to get at that underlying wrongness if we are going to comprehend, much less remediate, the problematic phenomena that we find in the Wikipedia domain.  [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 09:12, 12 October 2008 (PDT)

BK: Jon, I did not coin the term "drama engine" as you can discover by reading about [http://www.google.com/search?q=first+generation+drama+engine first generation drama engines], lame though they may be for the purposes that game designers have in mind.  '''J'''imbo's '''U'''nintended '''D'''rama '''E'''ngine ('''JUDE''') operates at what I imagine would correspond to a third generation drama engine in the game world.  —[[User:Moulton|Moulton]] 21:59, 13 October 2008 (PDT)

JA: I apologize for accusing you of Originality, but your esoteric technical reference, however amusing, only serves to prove my point that the new-fangled notion of a "drama engine" forms no part of what enters the mind of the average person in the street when he or she hears the word "drama".

JA: But let us put the definition of drama aside for now.  You are trying to reduce the Bardic and Dramatic Arts to a kind of Accidental Stage Setting (ASS).  And that is nothing short of absurd.  It is true that people can learn from a climactic absurdity, but what they must learn is the absurdity of the collective premiss.  [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 02:46, 14 October 2008 (PDT)
