You come in with this. A dig post about the regs trying to be witty in their narrow bubble. Not a good way to start out unless you want push back. Which you do.
I am not quite sure you get that when I say the derails are a lot more fun to read than the standard, endless complaining about Trump (usually through snarky comments toward a twitter bot) that I mean it. It was actually amusing to read people going insane with Clovis about whatever. Clovis was the same when he and I debated about the TV show Survivor years ago when I used to watch it, so perhaps that was part of the fun value for me, and contrary to what some other posters said, it had nothing to do with a need to distract from the crazy going on with families at the border.

I tend to read it a bit on Sunday when I am watching my guys play and some on Monday for reporting day as a break. Very little if any on other days. I appreciate how much this forum matters to its regs (and no, I am not saying that in a dismissive manner), but not everyone wants this to consume as much time in their lives.

Well, when it comes to posters they do not like it is a whole lot of "hey buddies, look at how bad this guy is" or "thanks xxx" whenever they want to add snark to a point about some type of policy or the stock market drops. I guess I would not quite call that direct conversation (even you have done quite a few posts analyzing me, but not speaking toward me, for your buddies here). In the end, that is a matter of perception, and as I said - it is of zero concern to me, and you are familiar enough with my posting to know when I say that it is direct and accurate. Thanks again for the feedback. Given it is Monday there is little chance I will be a factor (disruptive or otherwise) for a while due to my schedule, so things will be as they always are, give or take some Clovis variance
