I did have an idea about having a Banter Forum thread and this is kind of what we have available to us without making a whole "new" area. We are prone to 'jacking' threads as it is and to be honest about it...that's kind of unfair to the OP who commits to a subject matter and posts....and then after about half a dozen posts from us it goes sideways.....it's like watching your BIL go over a cliff on your new motorcycle.
Here's what I think....just an idea .....when there is something in an original thread that we'd like to follow up with some jockstrap pulling we can bring it over into this area and beat it to death. This of course is something we need to understand is not an area to be obnoxious and disrespectful or to break and side step rules.....it isn't "fight club" but rather a place to corral our sarcasm and cynical points of view with some comedy relief....kinda like a real party where we can mingle and talk to each other about most things in life. Remember,,,,if you don't like the post don't be a chump and start something ....just move along and talk with the other partygoers.
