Most companies do not begrudge anyone occasional banter, but no company wants their employees wasting vast amounts of company time on anything that is not related to the work that they were hired to do. Employees are free to come up with suggestions on their own time and submit it to management for consideration. If they have specific issues that are affecting their ability to work, they are also free to bring them to management. They are not free to decide on behalf of management what changes need to be made or how to implement any such changes, or practices, nor do they have any right to such expectations unless that is what they were hired to do.

    I think this unrealistic way of thinking is the result of the kind of upbringing where parents constantly negotiate with their children rather than telling them what to do and why they should do it.

    Exactly and they will put that occasional banter , which is part of havibng fun at work, in danger because they have no idea where to draw the line.

    Yeah, but then you have the member who thinks that all mixed-breed dogs should be destroyed...so there's no avoiding controversy and dumb opinions regardless of how strictly you draw the subject matter barriers.

    ...and some people wake up in the morning and go actively seeking out something to argue about. We have all seen that type....even long before the internet.

    With the addition of the internet it is Christmas each and every day or them.
