Gee, Keberoxu, whom did you appoint as "moderator for the DNC thread"? I did see Donuel complain about people invoking the name of Trump. Is he the one you appointed?

I did say in the "Melania" thread that I had been about to start a thread titled Mysteries of the Republican National Convention, and found that two threads had already been started on relatively minor points about the convention. My point was that it would be good to have one good discussion running instead of a dozen threads splitting the subject up into umpteen different subjects.

I've always had an objection to the title of this thread, which was opened in April as some sort of game to guess who was the author of the "he's in the way of ME" quote. It quickly became a general trump discussion because the guessing game was not enough to sustain an extended discussion.

I have finally succumbed to the temptation to rename the thread so people can tell right off that it's about Trump. But I wonder why people keep coming back to this April thread. The conventions are the current news now, not what was happening in the primary in April. After all, we've had a long-standing policy that thread titles should give a clear indication of the contents of the thread. We also have a policy that in general, only one thread on a subject should be running at a time, so the discussion doesn't get split and confused.

And of course we should talk about Trump in the thread on the Democratic Convention - the Democrats are talking about him at the convention, aren't they?

This thread is old news. Why not let it die?
