    Funny when a troll gets banned from their own tpf thread.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Threads always develop a life of their own. If the topic is interesting enough, people will stay on subject and discuss it. If someone mentions something in a thread that is more interesting at that moment, the thread will take a turn. If the thread starter is concerned about it, he should steer the thread beck in its original direction. If he is not skilled enough to do that, the thread should be allowed to go where the interest takes it.

    Some people take steering as provocation to disrupt all the more.

    Anyway, the original purpose of tPFs was to get fast action on rule violations. All that is lost if TBs are not about rule violations.
