Look ... you can not whine about not having enough debates ... and then scream bloody murder when they add a "town hall" that you have declared is a DEBATE.

Oh wait ... of course YOU can whine about getting something you actually have been demanding.

That is one of the benefits of being perpetually disgruntled!!!

You get to be pissed off no matter what happens.
