The following largely isn't directed at you CB - just an ongoing exasperation at people who need to get over themselves, and using your post as the soapbox:
If people want to talk about the beer selection at BMO, then let them. What drives me nuts is when threads devolve into bickering among people who don't care about the topic in the first place, needling the people who do as fools who need to shut up and get over it.
How about this: If you don't care about the subject at hand, then just leave the thread alone, and if if no one cares, it will die a natural death all on it's own. If it survives, then it continues to be one, easily ignored thread title among dozens.
The juvenile drama that occasionally goes on here, is prematurely aging me. Who knew cheering for the local soccer team carried with it so much pointless melodrama, feckless antagonism, and soporific fights between people and groups who are ostensibly dedicated to the same, almost painfully simple goal to support some guys playing soccer.
Yeesh.
