Thank you!

I hate to be too much of a jerk, as I truly do think a lot of people are well-meaning... even if we strongly disagree on something. But this board has a very specific charter and purpose, and these gratuitously divisive and discrediting topics that keep getting pushed, over and over again, can absolutely be discussed freely... elsewhere.

Nobody genuine here is against free speech... but in a focused community, keeping discussion on topic is a matter of survival and suicide. That's just not even debatable... although damn, won't some people try! Now I, personally, love the free-wheeling atmosphere here, and I love the shitposts and the political incorrectness and especially my jokes with fall flat most of the time... and other people's jokes, too. I don't think anybody wants this to be a solemn, sourpuss "Quality Q-research only" kind of place run for the benefit out disapproving outsiders... just one focused enough to be productive and uplifting.

It's obviously a balancing act, and I think you guys do a good job.

Sorry to hear the once-lavish mod budget has been slashed to zero. I can't help massively with that, but let me know if there is a place I can kick a bit of money towards to at least help with the beer budget.
