Friday's leave room for some different threads.
As long as they are typically light hearted, sarcastic, inside board jokes, etc. And I don't mind jokes at my expense either. When the talk gets "serious" about politics, it gets locked. If a thread starts "serious," it gets locked. That's the breaks, sorry you don't like. But there isn't anything you can do about it besides join the fun. Maybe take a zanex or drink a few beers. Craft only, ofcourse. You're a redneck racist dbag if you drink mega brewery swill.
And I said anyone who wanted to discuss something with me can PM. I'll even put a one day moratorium on publicly posting insane inbox rants.
