Dave, I’m sitting here dumbfounded, wondering the same thing. If the OT is supposed to have a topic or legit discussion, then it’s not a true OT. I can see how people are afraid to ‘join this party’ going on in here everyday, but until a couple of months ago I wasn’t a regular commenter either. I hung back, to chicken to join, and then got over it. Nobody bit me. Nobody told me to get out. Is it intimidating to come in here? Yes. But that doesn’t mean you can’t.
Does anyone know what the level of discussion in the OT is supposed to be??? I thought that there was no rule about the level here and that’s why it was invented. As far as vitriolic arguments that ensue on other threaads, if they remain on topic it looks like they are OK. that’s not saying the vitriol is good or bad.
Besides, once you sell your soul to the devil (advertisers), you better watch out what you ask for.

Sounds like the What needs some time in Rob’s brothel. BRG give him a hug for me. 🙂
Who got the verbal beat down? I hope he’s not referring to “randolph” who’s first post was “pathetic losers!”
“Posted by Mr. B in the thread above us…Let’s Talk About Commenting^^^^^^^”
See how much the level of discussion declines when I’m not here!
Party over.
“Nor is the level of discussion going on in today’s Open Thread really where we’d like it to be.”

What ‘verbal beat-down’ is Mr. B talking about? Did I miss something?
“I wanted to grope two or three people but figured it would be inappropriate.

Don’t ask questions that you don’t want to hear the answers to.
