I look at this way.
That day seattlebruin and I hstarted the NPE vs PRC thread, it was a lot of fun. Contained within that one fanpost it was a goofy fun thing for a day. When either of us mention it now, it just one or two comments and then back to topics of the day.
The election joke was funny at first, but I think it just kind of became a monster at some point.

LL memes are a good thing and are healthy for the community. They’ve worked great for several years
memes brought in from outside of LL are just annoying and don’t really fit

The point is, if something bugs you you should say so
and not wait til after the fact to voice your displeasure
Otherwise it makes it look like your are piling on just so you can fit in with the flavor of the day.

I dunno, I think all communities should have them
it’s worked pretty well here – the original goal was to have a place where people could talk about their vices (beer, music, whatever) and not clutter up the actually good baseball content, and they’ve done that. But with so many more people here now it’s threatening to tip into LL Junior High, and that’s not so bueno.
