Perhaps an effort could be made in area 51 to reconstitute it for those interested in partaking.
Yeah, the A51 section is like the political debates we used to have in here, if you removed all civility and about 50 IQ points from everyone participating. 

And that's saying something, given the incivility in here a lot of the time.

I'm fine with it, but I'm not fine with any personal attacks. Those would be immediately deleted and a time out issued for the offender(s).
Let me know when it starts,any bets on who the 1st offender will be? Or how many times the rules of conduct are transgressed by said reprobate :bluegrab:

One could argue you are, right here, with this post.

Not that my vote counts for much, but I think this particular part of the board is better without the places that thread inevitably seemed to go.

Perhaps an effort could be made in area 51 to reconstitute it for those interested in partaking.
The thing I don’t like about Area 51 is there entire CFB 51 existence is all about politics and the like. At least with the threads here we switch back and forth from chilli, football, technology, light politics, and everything else under the sun.

When I read that, I think of a poor metaphor.

then don't go there

no sense soiling a decent thread of beer, chilli, football, technology, and everything else under the sun with politics

Thank you, I don't post in Area 51 (or very rarely post).  And we have like 2900 pages of very little politics. and just a few with them.

Had a weird moment last week. 

Was watching a friend’s dogs at their house. They had left some stuff outside and it started raining. Am I automatically expected to drag all that stuff in? Or should I assume that if you leave something outside you’re gonna tell me if you want it brought in?

Yep, that's weird history.

You were there to watch a dog, not keep house.

Now, if there was something electronic or sensitive to water, I'd have probably brought it in for them.
