Sounds like someone is suggesting that we create a “Safe Zone”. Is that what you really want? With a lot people posting a lot of items here, it would be very difficult to identify what you or others deem is necessary to “lock down” for only serious discussion. Some times you just have to filter the crap.
Of course not. Please don't put words in my mouth. I'm just suggesting that breaking news stories be treated as such.
Suppose, heaven forbid, there was a ongoing mass shooting near where you live. And a FReeper was posting first-hand info. on it. Would it make sense to clutter up that post with silly side comments?
And kindly see happyhomemaker's post #29.
