As you can see by the sticky thread *Everyone! Read this prior to posting today*, it has only been three months since Andrus tried once again to get people to cooperate with the rules of the board. It is apparent that the majority of members either have short attention spans or they have...

Certainly some school districts can return more easily. A high percentage have computers and internet access at home, so as you say, that could help lower the number of students who have to attend physically. I am selfishly thinking of the school districts in my area. Even during the shutdown...

Since no one is discussing the thread topic, plus the OP is banned and we continue to respond to him, I believe the thread should be closed. If anyone wishes to start a new thread on the undersampling of Republicans in polling, you are welcome to do so.

Might be fun on another site, but not here. Maybe if we get full time mods here down the road, we can delete them in real time. Until then, they get taken down when we see them.

Making message boards responsible for the content posted would effectively end them. It's hard enough to just moderate behavior, so if sites were required to monitor the accuracy of statements and fact check every post, it wouldn't be worth the time you would have to invest to research each...

Even if it hasn't aged well -- and that has yet to be established since no context was given -- gloating or "rubbing someone's noses in it" is confrontational and could lead to moderator action. We will see if some context is provided.

IfIf I may be allowed to answer, I believe Dragon, as a European, felt insulted by Dad's gnat/eagle comparison. He has attempted to explain and offered that no insult was intended.If someone feels they have been insulted or reads what they interpret to be insulting, they should report the...

It is impossible to tell if a post is a troll post if it is a simple statement without context. However, if "Trump is gonna win 2020" is said in the context of a post about the 2020 election, it would not be a troll post. The problem with stating that opinion without additional commentary is...

In keeping with the site's desire to have more conversation based on concepts, ideas and principles, I will be posting a couple of threads in hopes of generating discussion on topics that are relevant no matter who is in office or the news cycle at any point in time.What are your guiding...

Certainly the coronavirus pandemic has dominated the news cycle for 2020, hopefully there will come a time when it is relegated to a second tier news story. In keeping with the site's desire to have more conversation based on concepts, ideas and principles, I will be posting a couple of threads...

This is the MCB. So I suggest to all that no "silly circus" result from posting this here.

Once again, we have gotten pretty far removed from the thread topic. It would be appreciated if we could return to the topic of the coronavirus and its related issues.

I've had to check the thread title several times to make sure where I was. In the last two pages, there was a single reference to Biden in passing. Everything else was totally unrelated to the thread topic. If you want to discuss these tangents, please start a new thread and leave this one to a...

Sounds great! I couldn't afford to live there, but at least I'd get three squares a day. :melike: Wait!! It would probably be loaded with stuff like kale, tofu and quinoa. Nevermind.

I don't know that it would be necessary for everyone, but I would like my family to be tested before we start hanging around my 83-year-old mother.

Take it to PMs. We are getting far afield from coronavirus discussion here.

I have trouble with the terminology of "fake news." Something isn't fake if it doesn't fit one's perspective or is slanted to a viewpoint. Fake news is Alex Jones or QAnon stuff that is fictional. The other stuff can be chalked up to bad journalism, but it's not fake news. MSNBC and FoxNews are...

When posting a tweet or a link, it is best to let people know what you think about it or at the very least, say how it is related to the thread topic.
