Slipping in with my Editor in Chief hat on, I'm glad to see this discussed. As we do for almost every edition (since politics are a running theme), we considered the extent and nature of the political commentary prior to publication; while we may have reached a different conclusion than you did, Chris troutman, I want to assure you it was not out of a lack of consideration, or a lack of sensitivity to the issues you raise. As far as I'm concerned, one of the important and valuable aspects of the Traffic Report -- which distinguishes it from the Top 25 reports that are its basis -- is the voice of the author. (And the voice of the writers is one of the core assets of the Signpost, going back to 2005.) One way of addressing your concerns that I'm very open to is recruiting more people, of more backgrounds, to offer their own analyses -- and this is a good time for that. But I'm not inclined to ask our contributors to tone down their views, at least not in this case. I consider the quality of research and writing to be the determining factors in what we publish here, not the "slant" of the author's views. Chris, thank you for articulating your position. Maplestrip, thank you for your work on this, and for taking the criticism in stride -- and {{u|Milowent]] and Serendipodous, thanks as always for your leadership on this section! -Pete Forsyth (talk) 21:43, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I feel it should be officially noted here that plenty of men also lust after Ryan Gosling. --Roisterer (talk) 03:09, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if the title was inspired by the number one hit single Cool It Now and recent series The New Edition Story... but if it was I approve!--- Eartha78 (talk) 11:17, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
