Doesn't translate into why NY/NJ have been hit so hard while California, which had many more flights, has so much fewer cases/deaths.

Less population density even in cities (LA sprawls, NY stacks), Californians being addicted to cars. Bad generally but fewer people on crowded transit. Bay Area was first to lock down, followed by entire state, several days before New York. San Francisco had closed performances and gatherings even earlier. So we had a head start on social distancing.

When I see an entire page arguing about arguing I think people have cabin fever.

Hard to say. Perhaps, because LA is much more spread out. NY/NJ are very concentrated areas.

I closed the the thread. I should have closed it before it began. I admit I had a part in getting it rolling. I shouldn't have. I was bored and had too much time on my hands. We all did.

We all got a chance to get our thoughts and opinions across. I didn't close it to get the last say, or because I thought one side was winning or losing or to be vindictive, or any of that. I closed it one, because it was becoming a shit show, a I know you are but what am I pissing contest.

Secondly, and most importantly I realized how it was becoming an obession for many of us. I hoped in locking it, we could go on to other more important things, like spending time with family as I did. With everything that is going on, do we really need to be going at each others throats.

what you locked in haste was yankee and i making ground and moving close to an agreement on how we can all debate better.

not all oosts were on the up and up, but show me a thread that is?

there weren't any personal insults or attacks. It was just heated because we were discussing how we can try to better communicate to leave that path open for productiveness.
The real issue here to me is the people who complained and flagged. Complained about what?
Do mods suggest to complainers that maybe they should just move on and start a new productive thread instead of wasting their time complaining?

i have seen soooo many more worse convos in here not get locked, som im perplexed on how people though this one was soooo bad to complain about. Unless those same complainers are the same ones who attack anyone who isnt a Trump hater.

Then it gets further compounded by anOther mod with strong opinions who regularly states his as facts without debate, made a post stating as much and the thread was then locked.
My suggestion is if mods are soo politically heated, maybe they should be involved in political threads or not have the ability to mod i na thread they engage in

lets put it another way.


how would mods like it if Trump turned off your phones because a few people complained about how nasty some of you are to aNd aBout him????


I got muted when i was trying to be constructive with yankee, regardless of what barfos opinion is of it.
Didn't sit well.

Yeah, I just find the whole concept of the secret thing completely contrary to the idea/concept of a "open forum".

Well... I have PM's and convo's with a lot of people on here, both those I agree with politically and those I don't. There are people I've met on this site I would consider good friends too, but I don't think were sharing s2 dirty secrets with each other.
Politics are very tribal in nature anyways so people who find some common ground are typically going to flock together.
I do miss when most of our conversations were fighting over Stotts and Neil Olshey..

Edit: For the record I don't know who was flagging posts at all. I'm apparently not that kind of moderator.

I am sorry for behaving like an ass towards you last night.

Overall, I enjoy many of your posts.

Have a wonderful day, partner.

How about an apology to the thread starter that you touted as an "ass thread". Not very cool.

My son that’s an electrician at Kaiser is being tested this morning. He started getting symptoms yesterday and had a zoom mtg with doc. Getting his test at his doctors clinic where someone comes out in the parking lot and does it.
Hopefully he test negative.

Wasn't pointing to you, but it has been relayed to me that there are people who instead of posting in the forum, do it secretly with PMs criticizing others.

I know I didn't take it personally. Though I converse with people in PM's too, most of you probably don't want to know how my kids are doing or how ForumUserBob's mom is having a crappy week because ForumUserBob isn't a good son. lol.

Oh man, I'm so tired, everything to me today is just going to be a giant joke. :)

Look, I'm not a doctor and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express. I don't know if asthma would stop this treatment.

What I do know is that my former neighbor and friend is a retired military nurse and the hospital she works at is giving hydroxychloroquine to patients and she is taking it too.

If I get sick I'm going straight to her hospital and getting it.
