Corona Virus #4

[ovrszd]

MikePA: Corona Virus # 3 Closed, since a few people cannot refrain from going political and insulting others.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

We need a statistical report showing who contributes to the closing and how many posts. Kinda like the threads with Polls. Data displayed. If my name was on it I would quickly adjust myself....

I live outside a college town. Went in shopping this morning. No shortages, no limits, nobody even gives a dam about any whats-its-name virus. The entire college has shut down and all classes being taught over the internet. Pretty cool. They already had a plan, in place, to cover just such an emergency.

Sounds like a rational alternative!!!

If I were a student, and I was suddenly able to go home and get my education online, I'd have to wonder why I am paying such a steep resident student fee???

All this hoarding talk just reminded me I had this. Bring on the apocalypse, I'm good. After all it's only 58 years old, gotta still be good.....

I had stopped reading #3 because it suddenly turned ugly. I come here for entertainment, if I want to see people harping on each other I will watch the evening news.
Mike is less tolerant than Mossy, and wasn't long shutting it down.

You really don't need a statistical analysis to figure out who the usual suspects are, all that you need to do is find the locked threads and note that the last posts were by the same group of posters.

I had planned to make a camping trip out west in a couple weeks. My first destination was the open house at the Trinity Site in NM. Yesterday they canceled it which somehow I thought they would. So I'm retired and just canceled the whole trip.

We have one confirmed case in Wyoming. My wife stopped in the grocery store and said there were bare shelves. That's a first. Impending blizzard warnings have never triggerd that behaviour.

This is not entirely true...there are many instances where the actual offending posts are a page or two back from when a thread is locked...That was the gist of the thread I started about the lack of consistency...

I'm not shirking from my participation in contributing to thread closures but in the same respect it's hard to know when you're crossing a line when the line is undetermined or relegated to personal interpretation...

Pine,
The virus is not killing the threads, its the members with NO self control.
I don't blame the mods at all, they are just doing what mods are supposed to do.:thumbsup:
No need to point fingers or name names they know who they are...
