As someone who just posted a possibility of this being a turning point (albeit a slightly negative take) in what we do with Fox as an asset backed up with reason, your blanket, drive by remark is quite annoying and it's this style of post that takes away from discourse.
And I don't necessarily mean the intent of what you're saying but how you're saying it. It's not quality, you're preaching quality.
The worst thing on this site imo is these exact types of drive by's, it's meant to take a "side" of a debate and dismiss everyone on it as silly. Whether intended or not that is exactly what you are doing. It takes away from the quality which you pleaded for.
Just pick individual posts and respond with reason if you think you're reading something silly, what you did just gets backs up and takes away from the site.

That's a rather sanctimonious post to apply to what was clearly an attempt at humor.
I post plenty of quality posts around here, but not everything I write needs to be gold. I'm also allowed to occasionally joke around.
So, perhaps you shouldn't get so worked up by my post. The quality of discussion is just fine. I'm sure it will survive my "drive by" as you completely mischaracterized it. I didn't single anyone out, just observed the general mood of the board on this topic and made a joke about it. I don't think anyone was hurt terribly by what I said.
And yes, I think anyone who panics at this point is being incredibly silly.
