Perhaps some of you adults can just go ahead and bite your tongues without the mods needing to shut threads down?

Is exercising self restraint and self policing too difficult?

Perhaps also, it could be understood that there is not a moderator "on duty" 24/7 reading every thread and every post?

One last point: Most of the time the mods dont just close a thread without taking a moment to think about it and discuss internally. Give us a break here eh?

Off-topic discussion here in the General Discussion section has always been a vibrant part of the DNA of this place.

Unfortunately, during these tumultuous times certain topics just need to be restricted to keep the peace around here. Sorry for those of you who think we are operating "unjustly" - but it's not as easy as some of you may think, and it's a full time job.

Good grief. Go ride your bikes.
