    I'm sorry that you took offense at or are frustrated by the choice I made. I'm not going to try to convince you to agree with my reasoning, nor am I going to argue over the similarities and differences between that which I edited and other things which I have not; I will simply say that I made a judgment call to do what I thought was in the best interest of the forum, and that I stand by that decision.

    What was in poor taste regarding my crandc comment beside the fact that I think lap dances are in poor taste? Again, another case of the forgotten green font.

    Green font isn't saving you on that one. Your attempts at humor are boorish at best.

    I'm going through the same thing with my parents but in reverse where my sister is there a lot and I live 2,000 miles away. I talk to my dad especially a few times a week and mom once or twice and don't notice much of a difference but my sister does. They are just now to retirement age and it's going to be interesting to see how their mindsets change. It's tough watching the people you've always known to be strong in mind and body start to age.

    As for the tech side, I tend to think social media just sort of amplifies who you are. It will be interesting to see how our generation ages and how we are looked at in another 20 or so years.

    Yes and no ... Instagram is a pretty hateful place that has done a TON of damage to the psyche of people, especially students because of the ease of bullying and the hate that is spewed there. I'd add Twitter is an even worse offender of the #FakeNews propaganda on both sides. I will agree that social media is generally one of the worst inventions of the past two decades, even if it has some positive aspects.

    If he was insulted he wouldn't have asked you for a lapdance.

    But you didn't ignore. You commented.

    im just blue collar. No riches here. Just rational observations. ;). You ride him alot bro. He doesn't do the same to you. So yeah i could see how most would think you had ill intent.
    I dont care one way or another. Just commenting on what i see. Carry on. ;)

    72 and never been on facebook, titter, instagram or TikTok. I spend enough time on here and other sports pages.
    I worry about the negative impact of social media on my grandkids but to trust their parents to coach them up well with these things.
    30 years ago I was equipped with a Think Pad for work and new zip about computers, I got an email while on the road, from the home office that my Think Pad my have a virus. I didnt know if I should wear rubber gloves handling it, or throw the damn thing out the window.
