That came up once, a while ago. I gave it some thought and came to the conclusion that I was not completely sure that I could remain unbiased in light of some of the comments made by certain members. Rude for rude's sake has no business here, IMO.

My wife heard the story about this 15 year old girl's post. This was her response: "why didn't they take phone and computer privileges away from this little brat a long time ago?"

If our daughter, at 15 was posting this nonsense about us, you can bet that is what would happen. Especially if we were public figures.

Of course, that is because we're not insane.

I think herd immunity has been proven effective.

It's time to end the shutdown and stop the mask requirements. Of course, few places even enforce any mask requirements these days anyway...

It's how we get to herd immunity. I'm all for it. In a free country that's what you get. And right now, even Sweden is more free than us. And they're over it - with no lockdown.

Assholes....
I won't comment on moderation, but I'll comment on your posts on the subject of threads. Two things:
1. I consider you and chicks to be "birds of a feather" here - except you don't have me on ignore (I assume).
2. Ad-hominem attacks on a generic group that disagrees with you indicates it's time to step away from the computer for a while. I'm quite serious about this one. If your position is correct, it will be made clear enough over a relatively short time period usually. No need for name calling. One's arguments stand or fall on their accuracy or quality. Like my prediction in April that we would have rioting by May if the lockdowns didn't end at the end of April. Or that the president would be fine.

Think of it as the scientific method. You have a theory, and a test proves if your theory is right or not. They tested my theory by keeping and intensifying the lockdown. They tested my theory when the president (and a lot of other republicans) tested positive. It will be fun to see how the rest of them fare.

If I'm wrong, I'll admit it, and have done so in the past. But I'll not call anyone an a$$hole.

A meaningless claim without a verfiable link, Addled Homie. I'm also looking forward to your winning an argument, Flame Fanner.
