3rd request. Please stop continuing this weird, whatever the hell this is, thing you and @yankeesince59 have in multiple threads. More than once person has PM'd staff asking for you two to stop. If you would like we can make a thread just for you two. Please.
OK, Sly....here's the deal. 98% of the people in here know when I'm being facetious, semi-sarcastic, etc. It's been that way since, like, 2008...and before (even before I led the herd to these parts). The fact of the matter is, Cup, yankee, and a number of others despise the fact that I'm a Trump supporter, and let me know it on a regular basis, whether snarky comments, or direct insults. I've learned to deal with most all of them. I mean, yeesh, I'm a huge minority in these parts, and I accept that fact. I really do. OK, admittedly, every now and then, I fight fire with fire (again, understand, I'm the minority person here) and throw RESPONSE zingers of my own...lately, mainly to yankee schooner. It's only then that the mods (mostly Liberals, IMO) jump in to quell the fire. So, I guess what I'm reduced to is, take the assaults, and shut the you-know-what up. As it relates to green font, yank seems to have issue as to when I use it, or when I don't. I ain't defending those choices as they're my prerogative.
Both of you were asked to stop--the Coronavirus thread is more infected with the back-and-forth from you two than a cruise ship with Covid-19. It has nothing to do with politics. Also, Sly isn't a liberal. Nor is PtldPlatypus. Those were the two mods (prior to this post) that asked you both politely to stick to politics.
A little back and forth is fine but you guys have derailed multiple threads lately. I'm just asking nicely for you guys to just ease off. Nothing wrong with some teasing and having fun, it actually encouraged but today there was a point in the coronavirus thead where you and @yankeesince59 were going at it so much that out of a string of 30 posts 24 of them were you two and your "banter." When 80% of current posts in a thread are two people going at it it's time to give it a rest for a while. @PtldPlatypus politely asked you both to stop and you ignored him. I'm asking you again nicely. If you are having a problem with a member please send some or all of us a PM.
Wait, why the hell am I being dragged into this again? I did exactly what you asked me to do. I deleted/edited posts as you requested.
I see.. Nah, it's all about politics with his ilk. These are just a few of the exchanges. He takes on Trump on many other levels (in this exact thread) in between this exchange. You can read those for yourself. He's a Trump hater...and hates those who support him. Period. ABM: Is it me, or has the price-gouging began? Hand sanitizer is in high demand. I've been told that many brick 'n mortars are out. I was curious and checked Amazon. Seems to me these are inflated prices. Ahh, well. Supply vs. demand. yankee: "Supply" should have been addressed WEEKS ago. ABM: Amazon still has plenty. Order up! yankee: My God, does the simplest of concepts/points always escape you? ABM: Never. You're just dense enough to escape the humor. yankee: Nothing "dense" about me scooter. You have a nasty habit of saying inane things and when questioned, you simply claim you were only kidding. Again, your Fuhrer and Pence have screwed the pooch on coronavirus preparedness. ABM: Right ABM: I've determined I need a personalized green font just for you. Working on that. yankee: Ahhh, so you learned everything you need to know in kindergarten?...That would explain a lot.
You did awesome! I included you because if I don't sometimes people will accuse me of playing favorites for not mentioning all in involved.
Understood, and that's all well and good, Sly. But IMO, if ONE individual continues to incite things I think they alone should be the one who is cited, and not the one who capitulated and bowed out of the convo. Just my view.
Yes, these are exactly some of the posts I was referring to. I'm not pointing fingers, I'm just asking you guys to ease up.
Actually, if you want to boil it down to one stance/issue/value, etc......it's because I'm highly pro-life. In fact, it may eventually become the premier issue of the entire Presidential campaign. We shall see. I can handle it.
I get your point. I've had the great privilege to drink many a beer with ABM. He's a hell of a guy and I know a bit about how hard he worked to get to the happy place his life is at now. You also seem like a great guy and I'd enjoy drinking a few with you too. I get the feeling if you both tried you two would have more in common and come to like each other.
