Who the fuck does that? Is this advice for over 20s, or for bumblefuck idiots who probably wouldn't read an article about this anyway?

That was kind of why I clarified with the second point. It was just like at university when we got told we couldn't cite Wikipedia and loads of people groaned - people who are clearly too stupid to click a citation link.

*shrug* We're all entitled to our own viewpoints after all, I just know there are people on here - moderators included - who identify as Christian and so might not take too kindly to it. I just don't take kindly to what could be perceived as intolerance, but you've said you'll rephrase so I accept your apology myself.
