Don't lie,you want to start in,do it man -it's liberating 🤣
Heh, I think you all know I have plenty of opinions on stuff.
But overall this thread has been really interesting over the past 1.5 years. Lots of diverse ideas, lots of thoughtful insights. Of the several message boards I frequent, all of which have some variations of COVID topics among them, this is the one I've found most interesting and thought-provoking.
There are so many smart people on this board, so many thoughtful people, so many honest and sincere and earnest people. It's what makes this board special in general, and what makes this particular thread valuable on its own merits.
There are plenty of other threads and other forums to discuss the politics. But that tends to devolve into mind-numbing banality. On this forum, and every other.
This thread can be better than that. HAS been better than that.
Which is why I try to keep it clear of the hate-filled and useless partisan crap. There's no benefit, there's no point, in allowing that stuff to fester and destroy this thread.
That's my opinion of course. Ultimately it's up to the site owners/operators to decide. If they want me to cease and desist I will immediately do so.
