I agree with him, let's keep politics with the politics and the fun free from the non-fun.

And I'm rooting for the Sister and her flock.

I think you are correct in determining the straw, because I was about to do a Butthead style bitchslapping of him and tell him to settle down, Beavis. Inserting that comment into the Staub thread once was bad enough, but then he went and did it again after your malt liquor response. Willingly inserting political snipes into innocuous threads is what pisses those of us off who really are tired of listening to all the back and forth shit... and flock apparently doesn't realize or care about that. Keep the crap in the threads that are clearly political...

No one gave a damn. Back to the foxholes. I understand that the daytime show is in a big rut. The question difficulty has been ratcheted up. The contestants are too timid. There hasn't been a million dollar question in 4 1/2 years. There hasn't been a million dollar winner in regular play in fifteen. Still, I find myself enjoying the show more often than not and wish to talk about it with like-minded people somewhere. I just don't know if this place is that somewhere anymore.

This is a sincere question: Do people actually care about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire anymore?

There was more than one straw, from both sides of the fence. That's all I'm sayin'.

If anyone took offense at my comment about it, I apologize. But seriously, in actuality, it was meant as a joke, nothing more. On the scale of offensive things, what I wrote is pretty far down the list.

It had nothing at all to do with being offensive. It had everything to do with being a political jab in a thread about a deceased ballplayer (I'm sure it was just a joke, but one with a very pointy stick attached to it). Save it for the threads those of us who don't give a shit can actually choose to ignore...
