Vanities by the dozens have been posted over the last week. JR himself used to ask us not to post those. Why is it being permitted? Now, the same threads are being posted over and over-- how many times has the "MS's lawyer donated to Judge Greer's campaign" article been posted-- and not deleted? Why do you think the rules have changed over the last week?
Who knows.
Overload on moderators?
Imagine the abuse hits they're being dealt.
Then again, most of the threads are choruses.
I would think it's because of Jim's stance on this.
