And, apparently, the Trump thread has been deleted too. We specifically requested for that not to happen so we could preserve the 180 degree turn we had in the conversation, going from spending all day fighting amongst ourselves, to later realizing how ridiculous and silly our fighting was and agreeing that now is not the time to let our difference of views and beliefs stand in the way in our unity of wanting what's best for ourselves, those around us, and our country, whether we like Trump or not. It was such a turn that the rest of the country should be experiencing right now, and it also sent a very loud and clear message that we all really, truly are true Muppet fans that we were able to come together in spite of our differences. Yeah, the thread got out of hand at times, because after the event that unfolded, we specifically requested that if push came to shove, the thread be locked/closed instead of deleted entirely to preserve the example we made our working things out and coming together as Muppet fans.
Seriously.
Both were completely different threads, though! The smile thread was simply a random thread of sharing things that put a smile on our faces for that particular day; Pig's Laundry's new thread is more about trying to relieve the stress of everyday life in our now rocky and turbulent world by sharing things to cheer each other up if we're having bad days.
I mean, by that token, you could delete either that "What Song Are You Currently Listening To" thread or "What Song is Stick in Your Head" thread, because both are virtually the same.
