ETA: this is meant in jest. I was trying to make a play on Bill Maher's new rules. I think Maher is extremely funny but also a pompous ass. I apologize that my original post didn't convey that humor at all.

Hey, I just posted on Page 5 of one of them. Twice. And I was downright compelling. Twice.

I usually don't get up the courage to post until page 6. I've been spunkier than usual today. And I guess I'm the only Bill Maher fan here.

Confession: sometimes I only check them *after* three pages! So I will do my part to ensure this one goes off the rails...

Confession: sometimes I only check them *after* three pages! So I will do my part to ensure this one goes off the rails... Same. lol. Especially if I've gone to bed at page 1 and then when I wake up it's on page 7. There's some good reading to go along with my morning coffee. But really, the political threads are bound to go off track so they're not a big surprise. The ones that I like even better are the ones that start off as "give me some salad ideas for the potluck" or "look at this lovely quilt"...something like that. Then I wake up to 8 pages. So I open page 8 just to see how everyone has gotten eight pages out of a potluck salad or a quilt and I see "WHAT?? The airlines are horrible, how can you say that?" or these days I'm likely to see "didn't you HEAR what Trump/Clinton said? ?" So then I'm obligated to go back and read the whole thread from the beginning just to see how we got from salads/quilts to airlines or politics.

After that they seem to go off the rails. New rule, you don't get to make new rules. The best part of many threads is when they derail. It's just as easy to scroll by a 20 page thread as a 2 page thread.

Derailments are part of who we are 😃 Some of the very best times on here have been on threads that have gone off at a tangent.
Long live the multi-pager 😉

I like it, for all threads! And may I propose a friendly amendment? Whoever manages to squeeze in the very last post at the end of page 3 WINS!

All threads can go off the rails. Just look at my apology thread. Lol. Oh yes, that's one thing I learned right away at Two Peas. Even THE most innocuous sounding thread can take a sharp detour from the original intent.

I find that when heated threads get long no one is reading anymore, they are just coming back to respond to someone who quoted them and they are offended by their response.

One of the reasons they go so many pages is all the quotes - takes up a lot of space! But nothing like a good, long thread to pass the time.......
