Jane Doe, Mike’s total comments here on the subject were for ALL who were politically commenting.

You DID get to respond. Everything you said was included. I highlighted your OWN note. You knew it was an inappropriate comment but felt compelled to make it anyway. I don’t always catch them or comment on them. I was just reiterating the point you made and agreeing. Political commentary these days almost always descends into absurdity very quickly, and while it can be entertaining there are a ton of other places where that discourse is welcome, but here it is a distraction. No need to take personal offense.

Mike, let Aquamarine know the same thing as she ranted politically and had to throw in an insult to me on top of all that. So it seems her political rant should also get your same comment that you gave me.

So Aquamarine gets to write long political rants and I don’t get to respond to her insulting me about my view?

This forum is not supposed to be a political site, so we should keep comments to Scn and all things Scn.

This. ^^^^^^^^

Would have been better if your comment consisted of just that sentence. Not all the stuff you put before it which is exactly NOT this.

I never said the joke was funny. Too many people in these times take things literally so he shouldn’t have joked. When you posts numbers etc, consider this: the infection and death numbers would be far greater if Trump hadn’t acted quickly to stop plans from coming in from China and then closed off other things too as early as he did. Weeks after Trump closed off China air traffic here, Nancy Pelosi was in China Town dancing and mugging for cameras saying to come to China Town to eat and dance as there was no danger. She sure has egg or egg foo young on her face now for that one. And even Biden called Trump a racist and xenophobe for wanting to secure our borders against infection spreading. Later he wrote a letter apologizing for that and that Trump acted correctly to ban certain air traffic and etc. When you look at published predictions of how many would be infected etc, it is so much higher than it actually is now, higher by orders of magnitude, not just by a few. And that is because Trump acted quickly to protect the citizens here. That’s the last I will say on this. This forum is not supposed to be a political site, so we should keep comments to Scn and all things Scn.

I totally agree! Harmful it is!

Yes but less than worthless. Harmful

Glad you got out Idle

Yes. Even when I was in I started wondering why DM was not putting all the tech and admin vols on CDs. Icould see the danger to copyrights, especially after what happened to the music business. But then I also had an inkling he had invested too much in the hardcopy business and also having a captive audience. Also Too dangerous to make evry one able to cross check things and start asking embarrassing questions.
