TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether posts that begin with "my friend said" should be allowed in the community. Opinions vary, with some suggesting that it creates confusion, while others argue in favor of free speech and the humor it brings. There's a call for clearer question phrasing and a focus on banning personal attacks instead.

The question is the thing. Where it came from is not the point. Instead, ban personal attacks from keyboard warriors. They should go back to driving muscle cars and flashing cash instead to make up for their inadequacies.
