If you perceive a pile of manure in the road (which may or may not contain chocolate).

You don't have to get your hands dirty.

You can walk on by.

It's not always easy (especially if you are hungry enough for chocolate that even the prospect of a dungy aftertaste loses it's power to deter).

But you can either hit the ignore button or just turn a blind eye to it.

I tend to get wound up by items I find truly offensive but I've never pretended not to be a hypocrite.

Jay's tougher line on moderation has had some beneficial effects on the other boards but I think it has shifted the human desire for mischief even more over here than it normally would be.

While I wouldn't like it to be as strict on the Off Topic board, once in a while a little outside reminder does us all the world of good.
