Doomed attempt at coercion

Plaintive reference to lack of activity in comm. Self-consciously hearty and artificial exhortation of community members to pull together and post more!!!

Reminiscence about good old days of comm. Veiled references to all the work OP has done on behalf of the comm and lack of social reward thereof, revealing that OP has been keeping a mental list.

Disturbing undertones of resentment and obsession, accentuated by emoticons :-) ;) :)

ETA: Belated edit to correct spelling mistake in preceding sentence. Attribution of blame to heavy medication. Failure to indicate whether this is intended seriously or not. Additional emoticon: :D

Rumination on flameworthiness of news and the realization that the outrage involved has mostly been expressed.

Recollection that a good existential flame war builds on the scaffolding of topic, although free-form versions also work, particularly when point-scoring is imported to maximize snarkiness.

Wonderment that the Argument Clinic did not have a room for that.

Additionally to the OP: Mumbles of appreciation for reminder of existence.

Mallet blow to PC's head.

Puzzled expression as to singling out of innocent British police constable, who might prefer a few sets of battledore and shuttlecock.

Further bemusement on recalling that battledore and shuttlecock is a precursor to badminton.

Playful consideration of tennis anyone.
