There should have been a discussion first before taking it down. Yeah it got political and nasty but was great info. I say put it back up please? It had run its course. We’re the most lenient subforum when it comes to moderation, but the thread had become more and more political. Early on, the thread typically got back on track quickly when it strayed, but the political posts and personal attacks started dominating ....and rather than start expending more time and energy moderating people for content in a thread that was marginal even in it’s early days, it was decided to shut it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they had easier access to them this year compared to past years. Towns all canceled their's and people were bored and maybe had a little extra $ ? Where were NYC folks buying them, PA or NH?

Hoth Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Despite the political acrimony, the COVID thread was one of the best places on the Internet for up to date info. It's too bad it went off the rails, and yet it seemed almost inevitable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out here in my rural area I hadn’t really heard any until 7/3. Last night was actually quieter than some other 4ths. In more urban areas people have been going crazy since May with them. I love them in the right place and time but it was a bit ridiculous lately 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncletim Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 My $.02 - and worth no more than that - maybe a new Covid thread could be tried again, late in the year after the election and not in a regional subforum. At that point, hopefully, we could be faced with a unique situation in which multiple vaccines are pending and we all have decisions to make. Information and discussion might well prove invaluable.

I’m probably 180 degrees politically from a lot on here. That’s ok. What makes the world go round. The whole thing has turned way too political. There’s good arguments on either side. But we have to find a way to come together on it. My bigger concern with the whole thing was out of area moderators showing up over night threatening to ban New Englanders from their own forum. That’s unacceptable. And Taunton is right, we never did find out how much a Market Basket manger makes. Burning question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather_or_Not Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Wait, hold up. We are surging in cases all over the US and the mods thought it would be a good idea to CENSOR and REMOVE information on a freakin' pandemic? Because there is a touch of politics in it? People want/need that information, and it is crazy to outright remove the thread. It ain't right. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
