I accidentally tried to post the same joke twice in the joke thread the other day - it said you need to wait 5 minutes. Told me I had not copied from my notepad!
I have PMed ferret to try to get a "definite" answer - but would not blame him if he did not reply!
Seems to me that, following your logic above, anything interspacing a conversation is annoying - even another conversation. Zeity usually posts in his own dream world - would make no difference if a number or the reading from his thermometer. There are a few people on these boards who get upset by others. I thought this thread was about drivel - not about conversations?

I see it as being the closest thing we have to an IRC channel. A lot of people do get upset with each other on this board and enjoy upsetting people - my understanding is that it doesn't go on in here.

TPD used to be pure drivel based. Now it's a bit more of a chat room environment. I don't think there is a definitive answer - my feeling was that EC was disrupting more than just TPD, and it was a pre-emptive strike before it went too far. I think it could have been LMI or Duder, but not sure.

Indeed - TPD is the happy place. Anything deliberate that disrupts the status quo (e.g. thread deletion, too much swearing that might result in moderation, etc.) should be strongly discouraged - TPD is a self-policing state, though, so there is very little or no outside moderation.

Didn't he admit to being DBAbloke?
