this isn't directed at any individual user, so it doesn't feel like it belongs in the wanker thread, and it's maybe a little too spicy for "minor/petty salt," but i need to get this off my chest:

goddamn do I wish there were a rule in the Suggestions forum that each user could only make one post per thread with their opinion.

this may seem harsh, but i'm just so tired of the back-and-forth arguments and threads getting endlessly bumped back up by the same set of like four users who just CANNOT tolerate not having the last word. that's not what the Suggestions forum is for, and people just seem psychologically incapable of not treating it like each individual thread constitutes a kind of vote, where if there are more posts in support of the suggestion than opposed then it "wins." (i'm also personally tired of my own posts in these giant threads getting buried because i'm not willing to try to argue down every single person who disagrees with me. but the staff are only human, so i do worry: when i express an opinion that goes against the grain, will it inevitably get drowned out?)

if someone else's post makes someone, including the OP, want to modify their opinion? great! use the edit function.
