Many/most FR threads go off topic and down a rabbit hole. Nobody cares. Often people learn things they might not have known otherwise; I know I have.

Unfortunately! Let's all make more of an effort to prevent that from happening - by remaining on topic!

Nobody cares.

I beg to differ. I think that, in fact, very many FReepers would agree that it can often be quite frustrating when threads are highjacked.

That's why we have Wikipedia. If you are interested in Lyme Disease or blood clots, that's the space for you!

But there is practically no other place in the Internet where conservatives can meet and attempt to discuss controversial topics in the face of a totally biased media.
