Scrappy Mechanic and TheScrappy.Video Games need lots of help with Example Indentation and Natter especially of the Thread Mode type.

The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the groundHas anyone had a look at the Advertising Tropes recently? The ones with examples have many of the same problems with natter, pitching and This Troper/first person that the Memetic Mutation subpages used to have. I'm looking through some of them now and pondering cleanup options, but this is a lot to work on...
online since 1993 | huge retrocomputing and TV nerd | lee4hmz.info (under construction) | heapershangout.comIs it worth it to send a crop duster full of Repair Dont Respond over the Real Life folder of Science Is Wrong? I'm willing to give it a shot before deleting, but if it's already been tried and the natter just grew back that's different.
EDIT 2: Never mind, repurposing the folder to Other and nuking all examples that make an assertion rather than being about some dude's books and articles.

The child is father to the man —OedipusI watchlisted it; if the natter comes back, I'll notify the mods - or, if that's kosher, put No Real Life Examples Please in the page.
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the groundI almost did, but I don't want to NRLEP a page without discussion.
The child is father to the man —OedipusWell, if it comes back, I'll ask around in ATT.

- To clarify, Xion has been accused of being a Mary Sue by the Fan Dumb ever since she first appeared, simply because of the mere acknowledgement of her existence, let alone her interactions with characters well established in the series' canon. What said Fan Dumb failed to notice is that Xion's Common Mary Sue Traits are played in a way that make her a cleverly deconstructed Mary Sue: her strength, skills, memories, and, by extension, her very existence as well, ultimately prove to damage the characters most closely related to her.
This is probably pretty obvious, but is this bit still natter?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.That is bad Example Indentation, not Natter.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIt's also possible edit warring and belongs in ATT.
DoodlesI'd say that is natter. As were the previous bits I axed. This is Broken Base, not Base Breaker. Conversation on how those girls are treated by the fanbase doesn't add anything.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerAlright, then, so I should axe it?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.I suppose you can merge it all in the first example to get rid of Bad Indentation. But send Alex Sora a PM on natter, at least on his previous edit. He seems far too protective of his edits sometimes.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerYou know what? I'm just gonna delete it. I can't merge it back into the first example without making the entry seem schizophrenic, and it's unnecessarily gushy.

That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something AwfulDarkIsNotEvil.Tabletop Games is all kinds of thread mode, bad indentation, and even disagreements. I cleaned up part of it, but the whole pages is infected.
Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.No Pronunciation Guide has a huge problem with natter and Thread Mode.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWellIntentionedExtremist.Tabletop Games is full of thread-mode arguments. I cleaned up most of it since it wasn't too bad, but the Warhammer 40k section is truly terrible, and I know nothing about that game.
Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.Once is Not Enough has a load of natter and Justifying Edits.

Checking it, I wouldn't even call it memetic badass. Just memes from tvtropes.
