I just enjoy the wonderful discourse between rational individuals, with a side order of insanity, and some victim blaming for dessert.
Also currently it gives me something to do to avoid watching the Aus cricket team get dissected by our dastardly cousins from over yonder...

I think the off topic forum is completely unecessary. Given the website's primary subject matter, we shouldnt be launching into arbitrary arguments with people on a website devoted to painting miniature figurines. But hey, thats just one man's opinion of it.

I'd be careful about re-posting that, mate...
He dodges the swear filter on it (quite masterfully, I might add), and you don't wanna attract the attention of the mods. Just a piece of friendly advice.

Oh cmon thats the best part. I like highlighting a thread to see what the last person said, and all you see is so and so said, so and so said, so and so said, so and so said
Its hilarious! On a more OT note, I dont see why it matters if DAKKA is focused on miniature wargaming or not. I think having an off topic in any forum is a smart move. It keeps people from cluttering up other forums devoted to something other then politics, or jokes, or music, or religion or what have you
