You're never going to get along with me unless you change your exchanges with me and don't resort to insults when I keep responding. This started based on the study saying it was better to open up the country, there will be more deaths if we don't.

It doesn't matter how you cut that other than I want a reason to do what I want and I am OK with some unknown number of virus victims dying. That is just not the kind of country we are or the human decency one should ever be will to accept. I’m not angry in the way you suggest.

BC you’re correct, I’ve had snide responses to you over the years. I’m pretty sure and correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe in 2020 I’ve treated you that way. The way I see it, there had been times that our correspondence on the forum probably appeared like two arrogant men with strong personalities.

However, let me be crystal clear. I am fighting this virus daily. For you to even take a notion that I am not aware of the loss of human life is grossly irresponsible on your behalf.

Communicating with you is not privilege. It’s a choice I make, or you. You have been snide with me in the past years, and I never gave you an ultimatum to continue correspondence with you.

Let me tell you something about little ol’ me. I was the first on the thread to give my condolences. There was nothing snide about that post in any way.

Humans are going to do what they want. Get over it. What you need to do is come up with a plan to protect yourself, your wife, and any immediate family you have close to you from this awful virus. Quit complaining about how people aren’t doing things right.

Also, I never suggested you were angry. As a matter of fact, none of my posts today were directed at any one person. But, as a way to encourage the members of this forum to unify.

Try reading this as if it was a response to you.

This is what you left me with to respond to.

And, it was easy to tell by all the mistakes in the post that when you attacked me, remember? It appeared you were upset. That post was uncharacteristic of you, and with your family member passing away, your sisters grief, and all that is going on these days I don’t blame you for being upset.

But to take it out on people that mean you no harm, come on, you are better than that. Hey if you need to come to the forum and vent do so. But, you laid into me for posts that were not directed at you personally. Those posts were meant to remind us that were all in this together.

My post was intended for 'Christal'. I don't think anyone is OK with others dying from any cause. But if one does not do their part the behavior implies it is acceptable. I believe that we shouldn't accept either the evil or worst evil. We need to address both at the same time rather than justify any number of deaths.

My response to posts are to the content and tone not from any anger or grief. The difference was I chose to be inappropriate based on what I read as inappropriate. It doesn't sit well with me either. I respect everyone in the forum but sometimes even those one respects need to be called out in no uncertain terms, inappropriately is sometimes all that is left to try. I would much rather ignore the jabs but that hasn't worked very well. My response to some condolences were those mixed in with counterpoints or jabs. Moderator--if you would like to pull just my posts, I'm fine with that.The post you referenced was not directed at you. I don't think anyone is OK with others dying from any cause. But if one does not do their part I think their decision implies it is acceptable to them. I believe that we shouldn't accept the evil or worst evil. We need to address both as the gov is doing rather than accept some number of deaths are justifiable. Not that I wouldn't have made mistakes in the post but I was summoned to do my part of getting dinner on the table before I had checked it for mistakes or consider changes, not good.

I was wrong including spillover language from another post I made. I believe you were sincere. I apologize for offending you.
