- 8th grade- gym- boys vs. balls wiffleball- playing in the field- coach turns around toward the boys in the field, rubs the wiffleball on his crotch and says "CHEEEEEEEEZE BALL!!!" whilst making uncomfortably prolonged eye contact with me

again the benefit of multiple threads is you get multiple discussions at once, and it's pretty clear that there is enough demand for political blather at this point for multiple discussions at once to be a good idea. I think organizing the threads makes sense when you have people posting links and bumping old threads, but in general if people are talking about stuff then 'the message board is working', who cares about how neat it looks.

x-post
Can't that thread title be changed or that thread locked?
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
this isn't really a permanent problem it's just that we had a perfect storm of that accident w the rollover of the campaign thread + the increase in political posts because of the election endgame anyway + that anomalous i'm-scared thread which is really part of point 2 i guess

I ween ye nae got that right. the reasons for it are more garbled up than just the politics threads. tis the awful need of reading and writing that's more than the young bloods can stand.
