Given that I live in Boston and not Salem this it's not just moral to not go there, it's easy.

I've always though subs focusing on specific cities would benefit from local news specific to other cities.

Ya know dude sometimes folks don't need to post Salem news in Boston?

But the grammar on your burn post was so bad

This sub talks about greater Boston. If we can only discuss Boston then I guess Cambridge and Somerville are off the table too, right?

Get over it. Anything close to the city is relevant to many people on this sub and fair game.

Only a pedant would raise an issue with someone conflating Cambridge or Somerville with Boston. Salem isn't greater Boston, it's just Salem.

And yeah, I do think local news should be local. If it were a story about Salem and it had ties to Boston, sure whatever. But news about some local shithole being shitty in Salem isn't pertinent to conversation about Boston.

It’s incredibly ironic you’re calling me pedantic.

Beyond that, don’t you have something better to do than get offended about a Salem news story? Not relevant to you? Don’t read it.

It’s clear by the downvotes nobody agrees with your position.
