>>I would just like NOT to see the same old junk on every freaking open thread.<<
Bullies keep beating on the same kids. Those kids are blamed. The kids are “thin skinned”. If that child leaves, the bully finds another target in the same situation.
We must lay there like a slug, it’s our only defense...lol!
All I know is, it’s FR policy to let the open threads be cesspools.
Some find "open" RF thread debate distasteful and some find closed ("caucus") RF threads distasteful.
A poster who objects to one or the other should IGNORE them altogether. It's not a flame and you are not a moth ... or a slug.
