I have said this a couple of times before on other threads. Surprised Pelican (the business) has not stepped in from a liability/PR standpoint as they have already done by limiting access and web crawling of the politics and religion forum where some of his most egregious statements have been made, but alas inertia prevails.

I only have two people on my ignore list, but would love to make it three.

He is, try adding him to your ignore list. Crazy right?

He's a moderator on the Cayenne forum I think.

That's funny stuff, RB.

In other news ... it's delta for the win.

I weary of feeling bad for the dying (of covid)

just last week, I got a reminder. my wife's acquaintance just died. she was VERY pregnant and only up until recently, the vaccine was still in question for pregnant women. that has been cleared a few weeks ago. but this lady, 37 years old got Covid and they put the tube down her throat to help her breath. just to keep her alive so they could do a C-section to save the baby. mom passed shortly afterwards. totally sucked.. 8 kids in total. (Brady bunch thing). she wanted the vaccine but was trying to careful for her unborn baby. sucks..

I feel awful for the dad/husband.

but we have the tools.. believe what you want, but I am so shocked by our society. imagine if they (today) said, we have the vaccine that would save your life, and eliminate from the planet a horrible disease..but it will leave a tiny scar on your shoulder... people would revolt. FAACK that S! I'm taking a avian feather mites dust..but you have to sniff it. lets do this!!

another story. a friend and coworker kinda turned on me last week.

we have to wear masks in the office. so be it. so I put on on when I walk to the printer. the guy said I was an idiot..a sheep. he followed me into my office where I usually shut my door and take my mask off. he was mask-less and just badgering me. he went on saying in a few weeks the new governor would take away the mask mandate anyways.

then he said, "besides what are you worried about? it was your people that brought this "kung fu" to our country.

hahahha..and I considered this guy a buddy. (no more). my boss heard and asked if I was okay. I'm cool. but I do wonder about a person that has so much internal problems that what another person does on his own free will bothers him so much. there is no vaccine for that affliction.

be well everyone.

Gotta wonder why the suppression and disruption’s pervasive to the extent that people fear speaking out due to the backlash. You see it on every social media platform, this ‘little‘ forum as well.

Using your analogy, isn’t more tools in the toolbox better ? We are trying to save lives, right ?

Of course I'm a moderator. I'm both fair-minded and delightful.

Why so much hate?

Wow- waaaaaay out of line. I hope HR has a serious conversation with this guy. Then you can tell him Larry Elder ain't gonna make it as governor.
