I liked you better when your post count was 0.

This isn't drama, for feck's sake. Chatting about stuff for ages is the norm here. If it were drama I'd have called Craster a muppet by now.

I was under the impression you didn't really do "liking" when it came to anybody.

Not so, I merely start at 'hate' and work backwards as it's less dissapointing. After getting to know them for a few months, there are several people here that I barely even despise now.

The original post was a drama. And there may have been flouncing. But yeah, as dramas go it hasn't been the most dramatic... it's the Coronation Street of internet dramas.

Look everyone, it's Mimi! She's a great example of somebody I don't hate

This isn't drama. This is 'we tried something, it backfired, we should probably have gone about it differently, we've gone back to pretty much how it was, but we'll keep talking about it anyway, because we like to'. Which is fine.

How strange... that is my point exactly, and yet we are voting at opposite extremes of the spectrum

I do prefer topics for topicy things, as I've said. On the other hand, I felt like mentioning how utterly yum Waitrose Colombian Coffee ice-cream lollies are. That's Disseminating Essential Information, but not really worth a topic.

I don't think we've ever said we don't want ice-cream posts in there.

Can I vote for somewhere in between options 3 and 4 (cos I'm awkward, like)? Although I do agree that if an interesting discussion comes out of BnB it should be split out, a mod is not always going to be around (or available to trawl through BnB to look for them). Perhaps if this happens and no one's around to split it, perhaps someone could take the initiative and create a thread for it? We should all be working to make this an interesting place to read together.
