Really? Who are you to decide that? If you don't like it, ignore it. Simple. I can't bear pompous bullies like you who think they can tell everyone else what they can and can't do.

Just for having the Asimov user name, I have to vote you up.

I was merely expressing my opinion, as mentioned in the OP. There was no pomp or bullying intended. You should have known this, since you can read minds.

No. Absuive is foul language, or violation of the rules. The OTDs generally do not violate those rules.
I'd personally rather see them limited to the "classics" (MQOTD, for example), but ignore the others as long as their content is withing the rule boundaries.

+1 to the rest. They disturb you? Ignore them.
You could have raised it as a Suggestion, i.e.:
One possibility could be to add some kind of filter option, I don't know how difficult it would be, but that could increase a bit the personal tastes of people visiting the lounge.

Isn't ranting the first step in the process of creating a new forum from the lounge? IIRC it took several years of ranting about cricket commentary, badly translated jokes that didn't work as typed, and inspirational stories before they were all moved to GIT[^].
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I think the first step is a constructive suggestion.
Ranting has the risk of being ignored. Just my personal opinion

The drop-down sign-In option on the homepage is not working on my latest chrome version. When I hover the mouse on the sign-In option, the drop-down panel becomes visible, but none of the text-boxes are taking any user input. For signing in, you have to navigate to the sign-In page first. My current chrome version is 45.0.2454.85 m.
Apart from Chrome, I have checked this in IE 11 and FireFox 42.0a2 (2015-09-07)(Dev) and the functionality is working perfectly fine in these browsers.

This answer Overwhelmed. Step back and learn C first before C++?[^] gets "pending" status.
A couple of simple experiments demonstrated to me that much shorter answer text is posted successfully on the same page, and the text referenced above gets "pending" status on other answer pages, too (sorry for contaminating the site's data with my tests).
It does not seem logical to me. I never observed exact same behavior before.
(I observed somewhat similar behavior, but very different: an answer could get "pending" status if, at the moment of posting, the question appeared to be auto-deleted due to some abuse reports. This would be explainable, but still unclear, because it sometime happens and sometime not; I could not spot any regular pattern.)—SASergey A Kryukov

Your answer might have been picked up by the spam detector and sent to the moderation queue; I remember seeing other QA posts with "Pending" status that were linked from the Spam & Abuse Watch forum by Protectors. However, I have no idea why your answer would be picked up by it.

Oh, yes, I had this idea. Just have no idea why this pick-up could have happened in this case…
Thank you.

Maybe the link to the 'harmful' site triggered your post as 'spam' - for sure it got out of the moderation queue for now...

This is not hard to test, which I did not, even though I had this idea… It would be weird, anyway.

This one[^]
No message at the top, so I assumed it wasn't closed.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Sean has suspended the article. I assume it's official.

I would have expected a message to that effect at the top. I got there from Google, so that may be an issue.
