Witness him!

I prefer a nice balance. A good PM is like a little cherry on top of a conversation that is spiralling out of control. A nice little distraction to save the board from further dramatics. And, generally, I get enough hate messages here that I find it’s healthy to encourage people to get it out in PM. They usually relax on main after that.

…except Lanny.

Huh? Thats literally the best part. The dramatics are the best.

A public hissy-fit is about as entertaining as it gets apart from an epic 'Rage-Quit.'

That’s outrageous.

Most children these days have no idea who Snoopy even is.

The fun part is I can guess exactly who sent this to you, and probably be correct

Speaking of Snoopy, we just skated at the Snoopy themed skating rink at the Charles Schulz museum in Santa Rosa California this summer. Snoopy’s Home Ice. Cool place.

People who are walking and just stop. They don’t look around first or check to see if anyone is directly behind them, they just stop, because they believe they are the only people in the world.

If you want to check your phone or plan to turn around, look around or move to the side if you’re in a busy walking area (airport etc)

The lack of consideration people have for each other is shockingly low.

Hey Macman, genuine question, but why do you send DMs to people just to critique their posts? It gives off 'I'm the main character' vibes in that you think people should be posting in a style tailored to your personal tastes versus just letting people be themselves. I don't understand what makes you think it's acceptable to pester individuals. It comes off as annoying at best and intimidating at worst.

Goddam I must be a vanilla poster. My DMs are just people messaging me about meetups for buy/sell.

I don't even have that... The most interesting one I've received was someone guessing my actual name and personage... correctly. I then tried this on another poster and failed spectacularly (or was misled... lol)
