CP3S, a timid man always mincing words. ;)
Oh, you silly boy. The point of this thread was just to say that something happened. I recently read that several students were accidentally poisoned in India. Where would I post that if I wanted to share that here? Clearly not in the politics page, because it's not very political in nature. Just a tragedy I feel is worth sharing. Aha! I'll create a page for current events, where we can simply say, "Hey, something happened, and I wanted to share that." Why create another page that ends up being further banter between Mrebo and Warbler, with you chiming in when you've got the time? We've already got one of those. Things can get sidetracked, and ultimately I don't really care. But it seems to me, there is a purpose for distinguishing the threads. People reread things later. It's nice to know that if I wanted to find a political discussion, I could look in Politics. If I wanted to find that link some story that was simply noteworthy, I'd look in the Current Events thread. You're a guy with some pretty strict interpretations of things and a knack for making overly-forceful points. Why not grant others the same courtesy?
