Off Topic Humor

[TARDIS]

THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK AGAINST PEOPLE WHO HAVE HUMOR.

I enjoy a laugh as much as the next guy.

What I would like to suggest on this forum that the core element of 'funny men' keep their humor and kidding around remarks to either PM or the Jokes or the Open Forum.

I refer to one topic that today has prompted me to finally start this thread. [Yes this has been brewing for a long time]. On the Watch Reviews' topic today and in previous days, there are some very interesting reviews put together with photographs that have required skill and imagination. People who read these gain enjoyment and knowledge about a particular model of watch which they may be considering buying, or just have an interest in. They may even wish to comment on the review, or ask a cogent question. The funny men are putting paid to this by their OFF TOPIC chit chat. Case in point is the excellent review by Roger F of the SD. By the time the comments on it had reached page two, it had drifted well off topic and the funny men had taken over by kidding around among themselves and posting comments with an over-abundance of enlarged font remarks and smilies. By the time I had scrolled to the final page of this diatribe, the original review had been lost. Anyone wanting to offer genuine comment or ask serious questions was wasting their time because it was so off topic. Other Topics on this forum are also losing objectivity because of this reason.

Please, all you funny men, stay in the Open Forum, post Jokes or simply send your insults eachother via Personal Messages because it bores the shXX out of anyone else.

Finally, give some thought as to why this forum is number two on the list and not number one where it should be.
