Indeed, much like the Oscars, the thread in the first instance has only a tenuous link with purpose, but it is my understanding that this is not a totalitarian regime at BD, merely neither a free nor purposeless one.

Such merit as it has is callously circumnavigated both by the clamour of weak posts and the occasionally stentorian prescription that results - thus including this post. Ah me.

It's true that in making such posts, you were following a trend, but as with twenty-inch flares and chest-wigs, trends are not automatically self-justifying.
