Hey, nothing wrong against having a good time.

But a lot of the serious threads with serious issues get minimal exposure because of the lack of participation while the silly threads get all the attention.

i.e., motor voter law, etc,.......

Sorry to rain on your parade.

We all participate in the red meat threads, too. Everyone needs a break.

We come here twice a week for a couple of hours. That leaves us plenty of time for important stuff. Some times we need to take a break from all things serious.

The serious topics DO get attention, but they are in news and NOT in chat! I have seen people that post to this thread in more important threads in the news category. Better to relax here in chat and go to sleep after a good laugh, than to get all upset over illegal migration and try to sleep while all tense.

That is not true. For one thing, this thread is covering the entire season, not just one night. It has been ongoing.

Secondly, I spend plenty of time on the other threads. I have over 10,000 posts.

I'm just not a stuffy old stick in the mud like you appear to be.

Learn to laugh or something.

But not here.

This thread is not for amateurs. It's for serious professionals only.

...while the silly threads get all the attention.

Whaddya mean "get all the attention"? No offense to silent_jonny, but there are not that many regular posters to this thread, as a percentage of all Freepers. If you page through the posts, you'll see the same names over and over again. You want to see threads that got a lot of attention, see the Buckhead threads!

(and s_j, I thank you again for being the host with the most!)

You're still here? Isn't there some "serious" thread that needs your attention?
