Along the lines of what the lubinator said, I come here for mental gymnastics. I think we have a pretty wise/knowledgeable group here, certainly more so than the people I see daily in gravity world. So for me it has always been about entertainment/education.
I think we have a crop of "newish" posters that come in well below that previous standard and prevent real discussion so I've just been going with the flow and getting in my digs purely for laughs. This way I'm still entertained
It will swing back to real discussions I imagine, but either way it's always fun.
