2. I'm confused...
Who's "dissing" gardening, herbs, communities, local news, and creative thinking in this group?

4. Silly dear, can't you read?
Someone is disagreeing with the point the OP alluded to (in the linked thread) that there is a vast conspiracy to outlaw herbs, since a backwoods local reporter used the word "spices" instead of "herbs" therefore, henceforth, ergo, i.e., herbs and all related herbal naturopathic homeophatic vitamins are going to be BANNED and OUTLAWED, their users put through forced sterilization and re-education camps, and so on and so forth.

What the OP does not seem to take into account is that local backwater newspapers and TV stations really don't expect reporters to have gone through any type of journalism or broadcast curriculum in college, and many only require a high school degree, or perhaps a creative writing course at the local community college.

So basically, someone is disagreeing with the unfounded hysteria. Therefore that means there is a lack of creative thinking in the linked thread.

5. Okay, I'm gonna come clean
I wasn't really all that confused by the OP. I knew that Omega Minimo was trolling here for flamebait, and thought that I could extend the humorous insanity by pretending at confusion so that she would say something REALLY funny.

6. Oh yeah, I figured that
but I wanted to clarify for others who may be reading and having the same question :D. I was hoping for an extension of the insanity myself. Cue circular logic and hyperbole!
