Sarcasm is to mock or convey contempt.

I have no vendetta against anyone, that's clearly a waste of time and self destructive. Responding to your posts with respect is not on your back. Who would you like me to 'moderate'?

Well let me tell you. I was the one who felt my posts were perceived as worthless.

Many times you have given me hell bc, IMO.

And, personally, I do not need you to regulate anyone here on the forum, for me.

It would be nice if you would just realize, our country’s current state at the moment. How awful it is for everyone, not just “YOU”.

Please, take a role in making sure our xoutpost family is treated fairly! So together here, we don’t choose sides. Otherwise, the same crap that’s happening out on the streets, will end up happening here on our forum. WAR!

You are Harvard educated. Do the right thing!

You asked me to moderate others. That's why I asked who. I'm not moderating anyone and have no intention to do so. I just wanted to know who you thought should be moderated.

Differences of opinion are vital to making good decisions. It prompts more in depth thinking of the pros and cons. The ideal forum is when the goal of all involved is to make the best unified decision possible. The group can explore multiple scenarios to test their worth and have confidence in the final decision. The group is then committed to the implementation plan--The most important and hardest part of the process to accomplish successfully.

We are not making decisions here. We are expressing opinions. We are debating our opinions. A lively debate that is not face to face and without a moderator is destined to fail, nothing will be accomplished. There is no consideration that another opinion might have merit. There is no moderator here and we aren't face to face so if we are to have constructive dialogue it is up to each of us to moderate ourselves.

I enjoy political debates. Especially those that are centered on whether Trump has been good or bad for the nation. IMO he has done nothing to expand the middle class or improve the lives of those in poverty. He is a threat to our democracy. I don't think there is any question he has been bad for the nation and I believe his legacy will be that he has been the worst of all presidents.

It would be nice if everyone else got this memo.

Missed this post by BC.

Agree with everything including the part about Trump.

House is preparing the second article of impeachment proceedings.

https://apple.news/AAmQz5dU-S6GMZiNCChhnFQ

He’s going to be the first us president to be impeached twice.

I think our country is real lucky that Biden was able to defeat him.

Maruzo:

Congress has to do something in response to Trump's despicable actions on Jan. 6th. I definitely agree about Joe Biden. He is far from perfect but compared to Donald Trump, he is the second coming of Jesus Christ....!

In addition, it is only fitting that Donald Trump got the full 2020 experience:
- He caught COVID-19.
- He lost his job.
- He will be evicted from his house.

That have me a chuckle.

I think Trump has overplayed his hand much like he did with the USFL. Only this time the consequences are going to much more dire for him.
