Q threads have degenerated into a mega-vanity for people who love to hear their own voice, and who flatline the signal:noise ratio with their mindless warbling.

Seems like a circle, including mainly the original people on Q-drop analysis. I enjoy the drops, but grow weary of the inability to analyze them. So I lurk.

Guess I don't see it that way.

FR's history on even the most intense threads has always included side-bar kibbitzing. It is a very human, relational thing to do.

It also serves a very needed function of making coping with so much sobering and often horrendous, tiresome, exhausting information more tolerable, if not comfortable. Humor is particularly like that.

So, it doesn't meet your OCD sensibilities. We get that. So, you want to get out your long pointy school marm finger and whack us with your ruler. We get that. However we did not vote you in as hall monitor nor as thread drill sgt.

No need to get offended by it.
No need to get prissy about it.
No need to get hostile about it.
No need to get punitive about it.

You don't like it? Fine. Scroll on by. Won't break your wrist or fingers.

I've never found it a greatly taxing problem to scroll by posts I wasn't interested in. I've not had any prissy compulsion to be offended by idle, friendly chatter. It's not as though someone is forcing your head into a cesspool. Sigh.

I’ve just about concluded that, like DJT, Q’s enemies (insist to) take him literally but not seriously. His supportes take him seriously, but not (always, necessarily) literally.

A little gabbing is fine.

When it gets too much, then it’s bothersome.

It’s been a bit too much lately, imho.
