We all understand that you have an obsessive quest to vent your spleen in manic and rabid opposition to the new US president and his supporters and Republicans generally and all who dare to attempt to give voice and substance to the will of the American people as expressed in the election results mere months ago.

So we all breathlessly await your daily diatribes in these regards and sometimes even get beyond the first line before our eyes glaze over and our critical faculties compel us to go on to more credible and objective and balanced and useful posts.

But could you possibly do us all a little favour?  

Please just try actually reading the specific column or report or news item which is supposed to be the focus of the discussion section underneath it and then try to make comments that are directly relevant to that column or report or news item.

That way you will not lower the tone and intellectual content of the discussion forum to embarrassing and unacceptable levels.
