So turn one of Mike's unpolitical. A little quid pro quo; AKA chit for chat.
My apologies for bringing it up, Mike/Loki. Unfortunately, as it has become the standard for threads to go off topic, it shouldn't surprise me or anyone. It just detracts from the carefree approach and intent of having frivolous threads. I invariably seek out the 'chit-chat' section as a welcome refuge from the acrimony of vitriolic comments found in abundance on the main/political threads. It appears foolish to expect any different. C'est la vie.
