A Tragedy

[DavidR]

The tragedy is through a misplaced topic (should be in the General forum) this has degenerated and become even more off-topic.  The best course of action would have been to request moving it to the General forum and then continue there.  Now moving it could be a bit pointless, creation of the topic in the General forum would bypass the off-topic comments.

Hi DavidR,

But in the general forums it is not fitting in as well, as it is totally unrelated to what is these forums are normally about. 
or would you like to qualify it under the realm of Happy New Year, Happy Thanksgiving, etc.?

We do not have a section for breaking world-shocking lunatic shooting incidents from a dystopian USA.

That is why one has facebook, twitter, whatsapp etc. Let's keep it that way.

The General forum hasn't been a General forum since the loss of the 'off topic' forum many years ago. Since then the General forum as had a degree of latitude since then.

You just have to look at the topics to see that the description of the General forum 'anything and everything about this board' has drifted so far as to be unrecognisable.

Not everyone on this Forum want's to read about doom and gloom in the cyber security world.
Sometimes there is other doom and gloom news to report about.

Hi bob3160,

I like to read better news, like about the recent 4% economic growth in Poland,
better jobs, better earnings, success.

What are the workers in your country doing that were once building proud cadillac sedans,
they really have reason for doom and a gloom still round the corner,
and then more shock and awe to rock their minds.
That's the real tragedy here.
