Okay, please tell me.

Did somebody repeal the laws of common courtesy? Because I always thought it was polite to stay on topic instead of randomly veering off into tangents. Maybe it's just me. (And youse guys are lucky I'm not showing the "poor dying kitty" post that found its way onto bush_sucks....)

Looks to me like you were right.

Of course I am. And now I'm so pissed, too. I'm probably going to waste a precious day or two of my life bitching about it. Let's see. I've already spent ~8,000 days, and I expect ~30,250... Egads. I've got less than 22,000 days left! And I'm going to end up wasting some of themon on THIS twit, I just know it.

Sorry 'bout that.

I think people are really REALLY nervous about this election. Nervous people tend to commit more faux pas. What can you do?
But yes, I agree. It's plain out irriating when folks go veering wildly off topic in a public forum.

What can you do?

Yell at them. I ought to have reported it to the maintainer.

In the comms I'm in, they're all saying "I went to vote today, you should too" and then in ratties they say how they wanted to bring their rat, and in knitting they say how they knitted while they waited, and in buddhism they turn it into a spiritual discussion.

Most thinly veiled election posts evar.

But at least they're trying to keep on topic. Kinda.
