Why is the Rum gone?

Can I also just say, GD has far more interest in this than they did in the World War One thread. Four times more posts and most of it - mine included - is a load of ****. I do in some way agree with the OP, but I can see the lighter side and the use of those responses to other 'bloody silly' threads.
If they were alive, my grandparents wouldn't be able to remember WWI, it is just really far removed from my generation. I've got respect for what it stood for and those who sacrificed their lives etc, but the anniversary doesn't really impact me.
Conversely I(we) spend a lot of time on these forums, so posting in a thread about them more than a thread about a war 100 years ago makes sense.
Ok how about this as a theoretical discussion point?
GD has some quite serious topics (two on the very main page as we speak)
You think these kinds of comments and memes have place in those topics? No of course they don't. They barely have place in any topic.
But you all claim that its just how GD is...
So again (for arguments sake) if someone was to post "poo through their letterbox" in the Zoltan memorial thread, or alternatively, the loss of a child thread, they would obviously get an infraction.
But I don't, or cant get my head around how this can be seen as any different?
What am I missing
(apart from the obvious childish sense of humour)

well that was awkward .... I knew what I meant. Just a name fail.
Like I said I struggle to put things across ...
Because stupid and non-serious threads will get stupid and non - serious responses.
Ok...
So under this mentality the rules only apply half the time?
So people can insult each other in this thread and that's fine. (referencing being called a faget) But if it was done in another *serious* thread, it wouldn't be ok?
Just interested to know that's all.
I am sure a "poo through your letterbox" post in the loss of a child thread wouldn't go down to well. I just don't understand how its acceptable anywhere else.
It's just not cricket to go throwing your mouth off at a funeral but at a stag do it's de rigeur.
Nomsayin'?

Thanks for the info.
They made a picture specially designed for that sentiment. You should try it out, saves so much time!
You must not be very good in differing social situations...
Nope I am just fine at that. But thanks for the assumption.
I guess its just this place I find it hard to work out that's all.
