You might do better having a civil discussion by avoiding calling people with legitimate concerns “ignorant” and “whiners”. You could have made your point and there could have been real discussion.
But you didn’t, and there wasn’t.
That way, people won’t accuse you of knuckling under to and being an unwitting enabler and shill of the Left, jumping through hoops of their making, and burying your head in the sand to buy another breath of what you think is free air or another moment of faux freedom for some thing you obviously have a lot invested in while you go through years of self-imposed class-taking, rules, regulations, and limitations you think will help, but are just another hurdle placed there by you at the bidding of entities hostile to you and your interests.
bert, I apologize for the abrasive response to your post-you can probably discern that this is a subject that greatly affects me for a wide range of reasons.
I would rather retract my post and have a discussion than leave it in place and leave things where they are, which doesn’t do much in the way of discourse.
