It seems like folk feel a little inhibited to grimace and grit as usual because they - not unreasonably - feel unentitled in the face of the awfulness being discussed.
I felt the same and had tried to let it wind down and tried, unsuccessfully, to find a quotidian bitchable.
Er - does that mean you would be happy for a new thread to be opened? (I know the meaning of quotidian - and speculate on "bitchable" - but am unable to comprehend the meaning of your sentence!)
(Been an exceedingly long and unpleasant day, if I may briefly revert to the original subject of the thread.)
I ask, because I am unsure if you are happy for discussion to happen on your new thread - or at all.
(I don't want to breach sensitive boundaries, I guess I am saying - but it also seems discussion is a damn reasonable thing to happen)
Edit: Oh - you mean you tried to find something everyday to moan about?
Still leaves my question, if this is correct.
I just watched a program on the ABC about Fox News in the US - "fair & balanced"!
