The statement is about what he feels. It is vague enough to come from multiple perspectives, no? Maybe he feels the country has not headed far enough in the current direction? Maybe he’s upset about the price of Twix bars. Maybe he's worried that tariffs are too low or too high. Or that the great works of Slovenian composers are not being highlighted by music venues. Or that ketchup has gotten a bad rap. Or anything else. The notion that a member cannot express their feelings in this vague way is, well, tellingly snow-flakey. |
It is a private site therefore they can impose any controls they deem necessary. I don’t think there is anything nefarious going with post deletions here. I’ve seen threads on other sites that looked like the church brawl scene from Kingsmen. They are probably trying to avoid that kind of scenario. It’s bad for PR. But what I really popped in to say is that @mitch2 post is one of the funniest things I seen here in a long time. Thanks for the laugh! |
