I was thinking the same thing, Stone. Random Rambling, most of the stuff on Daily Check-in, Secular jokes, Phal's vacation photos, DK's interjections of much-needed humor during discussions... all gone. I understand trying to keep things on topic, but it seems like a natural progression of conversation away from topic by a strict interpretation of the rules should not be reason to lock a thread. That's just how we humans operate, after all.

While I don't think it is ever appropriate to "flame" anyone, I am worried this could start to feel downright draconian and I am wondering how long I will be comfortable here. I enjoy the comradery of SC and feel it greatly contributes to my continued efforts at recovery. However, if I can't disagree with another person at the risk of being told I am "flaming" I do not think SC will be helpful in my recovery.
