...is a really shitty way to title an email in order to ask for more money.
This is the realm of e-mail spam companies. WHat's next? "Defeat the Conservatives with this one weird trick?"
Please don't do that again Kim Elliott.
Terrible, tragic news

I third that. As bad as I find the Harper government, when I hear things like "terrible" or "tragedy," I think of something like a death or major injury or some sort of natural disaster.
Please tone this kind of thing down, not only does it potentially alienate supporters, but it makes us look needlessly crazy to the people we are trying to win over.

Agree. I thought something terrible happened to someone at rabble, some of whom I know in RL.

This is more of a "banter" sort of thing, but it got me to thinking. What if we titled all new threads like they were clickbait?
"Harper looked poised to win the election. But what happened next will warm your heart."
"This doctor's response to an anti-vaccination tweet will shock and surprise you."
"A Conservative senator talks about Bill C 51. And it's not what you think."
"Thomas Mulcair's Tuesday started out so ordinary, so Canadian. Until lunchtime."

Yes, I know some current and former rabblers and babblers IRL as well, including our Dear Founder.

Nice!
I thought of a few more:
"If you could press a button to render Justin Trudeau completely bald, would you?"
"Top five senators most likely to be hit by an expenses scandal, as voted by you."
