Yeah, I have and I've admitted as much. But I'm a private citizen. Not an organization driving policy. This entire boondoggle has been "ready, shoot, aim" from day 1

There isn't any new or relevant info. Abbott is opening things up and the trend is continuing to go down. Our hospitals aren't near capacity, nor are people dead in the streets from COVID (thuggin' never really took a break). The truth is, without this bickering, this thread would die faster than a hooker in Acres Homes.

---

There's plenty of new and relevant information. Take your bickering to the other thread.

---

Then post some. Outside of restaurants and bars opening, really nothing has changed in weeks. Abbott is driving the ship now and Sly and his even less qualified county counterpart aren't calling the shots anymore.

---

I can only take so much of the news these days and don't really watch the local news. I'd rather come to a thread like this every couple of days to get information. Instead I get to read meaningless thoughts on masks.....not sure why you're so offended by that, but I'm guessing several others feel the same way.

---

So, you're sure there's plenty of new and relevant information, but you don't watch the news to know for sure. Instead, you rely on a message board to tell you and then complain about what is being posted and disagreeing when you're told there's nothing new? Do I have that right?

---

I think what he wants is a thread that is informative, helpful, and enjoyable to read. Instead, you've responded to seemingly every single individual post the past few days like you are addicted to the attention and can't help yourself. You've whined about how CFA handles their money, how you disagreed with Sunglasses Hut implementing a store policy, how you are a patriot because masks aren't helpful, etc. Hell, someone was even able to quickly dig up a post from almost 10 years ago where you were whining about someone starting an issue with you at a bar. It seems that you have issues with a lot of people, maybe just take a few breaths and log off for a few days? I would bet a large sum of money you won't do that and will respond instantly that my opinion is wrong, but its just a suggestion that would probably benefit everybody.

Related note - does TA have a mute button?

Hope you made that bet, because you're right, I will respond, and this is why...because people like you don't have your facts straight and just decide to take what others say as gospel, and spread another variation of it. It's like the old telephone game you played as a kid. You tell someone something, they tell another, etc until it gets back to you and you see how much it's changed.

Didn't "whine about how CFA handles their money." I didn't see the need of the basket, but once it was explained that that person is handing it to another who handles the money (thus not touching the money), it made sense and I acknowledge as much. It was the person ahead of me in the drive thru that was paying with cash, so I wasn't able to see that. A couple of posters decided to re-write what was posted and you've bought it hook, line, and sinker. My disagreement with Sunglass Hut was only allowing 2 people in the store, which would mean my kids and either my wife and I having to stand outside. I thought it was absurd, so we walked out. No words, no scene, nothing. You know, the adult thing to do. But to some on here, that's Karening or something. I dunno. It's hard to keep up with what the clique on this board is e-high fiving this week. It's like an extension of high school with people who want to try to relive their lost youth. IMO, the whole reaction to this is dumb because it seems adults are only know figuring out how viruses spread and that a virus usually impacts a certain demographic more that others.

Issues with a lot of people? Let me throw something on you, unprovoked and see how you like it. I bet you'll have an issue with it. But hey, because I decided it wasn't worth a fight and decided to leave, I'm a whiner or something. You probably would have done the same thing because you're an adult who can control their temper and not some young punk who is controlled by emotion. But hey, I posted it on here and it was apparently a post that allowed me to live rent free in a few poster's heads for almost 10 years, which is pretty sad to tell you the truth.

Yeah, you can block people. Give at least $50 a year and you'll have that feature. I choose not to use it because I'm not one who believes in silencing others. If they post something I don't like, I just ignore it. That's what adults do. With that, you'll also be able to see when people quote or respond to you. It's actually a great feature.

I'm the punching bag on this board this week. The difference between others and me is I'm not going to back down. If you post facts, then I often don't respond, but when you decide to take what is posted and change it, then I will. If you don't like what me or others have posted, stop crying about a thread being derailed and then crying when your ignorance is called out.
