"get over it.. it's a riddle."
No chance in hell! If I take this one laying down, what about the next dumb riddle that comes along? Or the next? A line needs to be drawn and this is where I'm drawing it. I'm going to fight this until the bitter end despite what you hippy apeasers want.
So I say again, if it's intended to be spoken, then speak it. If it doesn't work written down, don't write it down.
There!
