| The title uses "vivi-", a latin stem refering to "living" with "section".
The purpose of the thread was to ask whether the web site for a certain section of a fencing organization was "alive" or "dead". (Inquartata couldn't get the website, so to him it was dead.) His use: vivi-section?="is the section alive?"
However, "vivisection" itself is an english word with a far grimmer meaning, specifically, to disect a living being for scientific research.
"Say something witty. About me."
"The king is not a subject."

"Was that a pun?"
"No your majesty. It was a play on words."
"Oh, OK."
