> off-topic, spam, uncivil comments, duplicate posts, They are all of these things, as I've defined them. I'm going to take what few actions I can take to try to make this site useful to me, and direct it, little as I can, in the direction I'd like to see it go. Largely, these are topics that turn into flaming tire-fires in the comments immediately, with people rehashing the same tired arguments that get thrown out here day after day, year after year. It's tiresome, and I don't want to see it.
