Sorry to pile on, but I'd just like to add some observations.

We've had one major blowup a day after the biggest election in a
generation. We were pretty free of political OT stuff during the 2
years (wow!) of the campaign, and I sense (hope?) that this particular
thread is all drawing to a close.

These are exceptional circumstances, and if this is the worst that
comes of it, I think we're doing fine. This is self-regulation at
work, just takes a while to put the brakes on a runaway garbage truck.
