You guys don't need to add him to the ignore list, I'm just going to keep deleting his posts until the ban hammer comes down.

No worries. Thanks, @dash . In any case... as I was saying. Very interested to see how DC deals with the issue. After January 6th, the local law enforcement needs this like they need another hole in their ass.

It's just ironic the people that refuse to help the rest of us get things back to normal are the ones protesting and causing even more issues. Selfish c%nts.

Lmao!

Man I am disappointed I really want to find out if the earth is flat and if JFK JR was still alive!

Forum didn't like me because I dared share the opinion that Minnesota Hockey was the best of all time in college hockey history. Funny how no Bama fb fans get booted from football forums for bragging about Bama fb greatness, or UK bb fans from any bb forums, but college hockey forums are full of Ivy League Arrogant pricks who hate western hockey, and all the little brothers and cousins to The University of Minnesota who hate the Gophers out of jealousy, most Gopher fans go elsewhere, to better forums, where mostly gophers roam, the only other ones that hung there were wimps who had some weird insecurities and instead of acting like the GOAT does around lower entities, they acted like weak simps who were desperate to make friends with everyone so they avoided ever acting like fans of the GOAT normally do. So when I came along, to balance things out, and knowing more about Minnesota hockey history than anyone else anyways, took on the role of pimping for the home team. I ran circles around those loser SCSU fans and whoever else was left there. NO ONE goes there anymore, hardly. The UND fans prefer the more lively interactions at the gopher forums.

And it was all supposed to be in fun, made a separate thread clearly indicating it's purpose was to have fun, but I was the only one able to keep the fun in that thread. Everywhere I'd go outside of that thread they'd bring up off topic bs from that thread in other threads and of course I got blamed, and banned, because otherwise they would have had to ban a dozen others and the forum was already sufferin

Okay, I'll leave this one up with the reply that "No one cares"

Also, you might want to look up the word brevity.

Yeah, if you can keep it a bit like twitter where you get a short take, I think that's reasonable. Personally, I haven't got time to sift through things that look like they should probably have been peer reviewed before posted.

And for the folks that weren't following along, here are some details about the trucker protest:

So in essence they are protesting imaginary mandates and high gas prices.
Just imagine burning up so much fuel you increase demand and lower the supply. Boy what a way to stick it to the man by allowing them to raise gas prices even more. :L

Good article from Andrew Coyne (someone who I don't always agree with, but is spot on here). This seems to be very relevant based on the recent goings on in this thread.

It is a challenge, in part, because we are so reluctant to consider it. If so many people are so upset about something, we think, surely there must be some basis to it. There are two sides to every question, we are taught, and by and large this is a good rule to follow. Too many people nowadays are too ready to declare too many debates “closed.”

But we should not fall prey to the opposite mistake, of assuming any belief is worth discussing, simply because lots of people believe it. There are not two sides to whether the Earth is flat, or whether Donald Trump won the 2020 election. And yet millions of people believe both.

It was possible for a reasonable person to worry, circa December, 2020, whether the vaccines developed in such relative haste against the coronavirus might pose some risk to human health. Fourteen months and 10 billion safely delivered doses later, it is not. Valid health exceptions are well known and accommodated; unanticipated adverse events are vanishingly rare.

And yet thousands of people were persuaded that vaccines, and vaccine mandates, pose such a monstrous threat to their health or freedom as to justify occupying the national capital and menacing its citizens, in defiance of the law, for weeks on end. Hundreds were willing to risk arrest rather than obey a police order to disperse. This is not normal.

Sorry @scoutyjones2 I am still laughing at someone calling you of all people a Soy Boy. :D

And in general calling this a leftist echo chamber is hilarious because a lot of the view points are not that. Too bad folks deeply rooted in a cult like mentality don't see that. @Bloody Brian Burke hope you take insult in being called a leftist. :D
When I wake up in the morning, I piss Socialism.

/Soy Boy’s a good one but I like oat milk in my coffee :D

I came across two posts today that really show to me that lost in the noise are a lot of totally normal, average people who are just really fucked up by everything that’s going on and given that we’re in a global nightmare it’s kind of insane to NOT expect people to be completely vulnerable to this kind of stuff.

I know there’s some armpit-of-the-world type folks leading this shit but we’ve been painting with broad strokes the last month and I don’t think that’s the answer either.
