    Well I figured it wasn't about me since I seldom say anything serious and when I do it's never critical of the mods unless it's intended in good humor.
    I just need to know if it's cup or who so I can join in the conversation.
    I like cup and I agree with nearly everything he says but I think his replies go too far. I disagree with all kinds of Right wingers but I like to stay on good terms with them. I wish cup were able to do the same. Sometimes you've just got to let people say things and get it off their chest without jumping on them. Everybody needs to get stuff off their chest without too much ruffling of feathers.
    I like to think of people as part of my family some of whom have different politics than me. You care about them but you just disagree with their political views.
    My stepfather was a Right winger but he had a heart of gold and treated me and my bother very well. When he was in the hospital dying he once told me that he loved me. That meant more than anything to me at that time, two days before he died.
    There was a bus driver at the VA hospital who drove me home from my thrice weekly treatments. He was a very strong supporter of Trump and he knew how much I opposed Trump yet we became fast friends. You never met a more friendly person. ABM, he was from Tennessee. We were both overjoyed to see each other. It saddened me to see him transfer to the Vancouver facility to be closer to home but I'm happy to see him closer to his family.
    This is what I wish from cup. This would make me happier than anything else that could happen in here. Well, I guess getting a handle on this virus with a vaccine so people could get back to work would make me happier but in the meantime, seeing cup shift his attitude would be more than I could hope for.
    We could all help by treating cup as a valued member in here would open his eyes. Yes, we all have that responsibility as well.

    I can honestly say that I haven't seen any Conservative moderators in here. I'm not against it, just haven't noticed it.

    Its fine. Cup is fine. Cup can be cup and say or do whatever he wants. This isn't about him. Its about me and realizing where I and others stand on this thing is all.

    Platy is a conservative for the most part. Not sure where on the leaning spectrum he lies, but he is a republican. Though I suppose he could answer better himself.

    I am definitely a conservative (though not a Trump supporter), and for the most part, I also stay out of the OT area.

    So you're both right.

    Affect is the action; effect is the result. So what you wanted above was affect.

    "barfo tried to affect HCP's grammar, but his efforts had no effect".

    Correct
    Affect is a verb;
    Effect is a noun.

    What happened? I've spent about 15 minutes on this site the last month and a half. What'd I do now?

    Well he can't help it. He's an ESTIMATOR, not a preciser or an exacter.

    I'm sorry but Orion Bailey is exactly right. His job, i.e. the boss, is managing a group of estimators not estimating a group of estimators.

    When you tire of grammar, you can lay on the floor with your dog.

    Precisely

    You can affect an effect but you should never effect an affect

    One heck of a thread.

    I have never been to any irl S2 events but I did run into a member at charlies sports bar in vancouver. Somehow bellied up to the bar and talking Blazers and S2 was brought up and we recognized each others handles. That was cool. I don't remember what his handle is anymore. If you're reading this, hi!
