Unfortunately. I think banning standards should be high, but lobby has cleared about any bar.
This is the singular most dangerous piece of drivel that has brought us to where we are. Often one side is just plain stupid and ill-informed (eg. flat earth, evolution, vaccination). The proper response to a flat earther isn’t “ok, maybe you’re right…..let’s compromise and agree that the earth is round in the middle and flat on the ends, like a cylinder”. The proper response is “you’re an idiot. Now shut up and go away”. That we didn’t do it for evolution deniers has caused us many problems (cf. Texas).randylahey wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 10:42 pm
By taking a neutral stance on something and encouraging people to think for themselves? If half the country feels one way and the other half feels the opposite, its obviously worth considering both sides.
I have never PMd lobster or his socks.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 7:52 am so it was you

It's what you do almost every single day man. I am not even being rude to you.
Chastising others for following posters around while chastising others for melting down is prime Illy. A comment chastizing people for being woke while also trying to prove he's the "wokest" here would be the cherry on top.
You giving advice on those topics is like me giving advice to people to scroll back and read all the previous posts on a thread before responding to a post.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 8:57 am I wasn't chastising Trad, and if it appeared that way it wasn't intentional. I just think he'd be happier around here if he didn't allow himself to get so worked up by lobster (and a few select others).
I mean it was like 6am SLC time and he was in multiple threads talking about lobby...and then somehow developed the conspiracy theory that i was messaging lobster things about him (what those things are i have no idea).
Trad is a good dude. Not sure why he allows himself to get sucked into the nonsense day in and day out.
A close friend of my wife is a midwife at elmhurst and has said similar things.jfish26 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 9:16 am I was in NYC on Saturday night, and: Covid protocols are sort of awesome.
Several of the streets (think 46th between 8th and 9th) are closed off to traffic, and all of the restaurants have popped outdoor seating into the street. It's de facto open container in those areas, which means you can sort of bar hop in a way never before possible in the city.
Hope it stays like that forever.
Yeah, a client of mine would go on long bike rides through midtown, just right through Times Square and Columbus Circle and all of the other usual spots, and reported the same.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 9:26 amA close friend of my wife is a midwife at elmhurst and has said similar things.jfish26 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 9:16 am I was in NYC on Saturday night, and: Covid protocols are sort of awesome.

Also said during the heart of the pandemic when it was full lockdown that running/biking around the city was super cool/creepy in a way. Like a scene out of I Am Legend. Huge buildings everywhere and almost 0 people in sight.
LOL there is probably a lot of truth in that, but i genuinely want to get along with Trad on here and don't want to see him letting lobster get to him. It's just not worth it.twocoach wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 9:17 amYou giving advice on those topics is like me giving advice to people to scroll back and read all the previous posts on a thread before responding to a post.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 8:57 am I wasn't chastising Trad, and if it appeared that way it wasn't intentional.
