Bostonseminole Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I'm sort of meh on the COVID talk, I'm good with it when it's constructive sharing of information and some debate, but when it gets political or people start to seagull on this tread then I think it's time to moderate it a bit more or close it up.

Lava Rock Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 21 more days till this thread goes bye-bye. Than maybe we separate or y'all can just fire up a new thread here where all this "discussion" shouid have been in the 1st place.https://www.americanwx.com/bb/forum/5-off-topic/This banter thread has been cordial all summer and everyone seems to get along, mostly. It's the same troll who shows up and gets it closed down. Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not here to get triggered and yell at people with different opinions. I don't care if you want to wear a mask, or 25 masks. Vaccinated or not, this is America, make your own choice. But what I do not like are companies mandating a non FDA proved vaccine. These companies better have good insurance if someone is forced to take the jab and have a bad reaction (its rare but anything can happen). Other then that, I always laugh at the Dews and Stein topics. Being I finally bit the bullet and responded here, you'll probably see me chime in from time to time now Agree, though I think that there is a high chance that Pfizer will approved by end of month/early next month.

It's never going to be purely informative or constructive. There are far too many differing viewpoints, opinions, and beliefs in what the truth is. Many just can't purely post about information without interjecting their emotions towards others viewpoints. This stems from how long some have been interacting with each other over the better part of 2 decades. Phin, while new to this subforum, has been around for a long time and has a strong opinionated view that conflict with others and there is no rule against other members from other subforums from posting in here if they so choose. I've wanted to keep this dicussion as apolitical as possible but it's clear that's not going to occur. If you're all of the belief that we should have this discussion continue moving forward, what would you like to see/not see from a moderating perspective? We've become pretty loose but some stuff clearly crosses the line for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the info. It’s what people are talking about. What I can do without is the “winger” comments and the name calling. The New England folks are ok. Jay and Phin get into it, but for the most part that’s benign. But the name calling and personnel insults need to stop. It’s generally caused by you know who. When that person shows up, that’s when it goes to shyte. The old thread we had was ok, I thought. Moderate it a little, but there is going to be some people who get into it with each other. But what’s unacceptable is the personal insults. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur. I feel strongly that people should be able to express their opinions. While the situation might be different in other subforums I think the COVID discussions are relatively friendly. I don’t mind reading what people are saying but it would be nice to have more of a choice on when I want to read it if I want to read other banter instead. The issue is that it’s washing out other discussions. We have no issues opening a new thread for a specific storm or weather topic for more focused discussion - the same should apply here. That being said that’s just my opinion, from my perspective, and I would hope the people who post here in the forum much more often than myself have more of a weighted decision on the topic at hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 A follow up to the UMass vaccination mandate implemented yesterday... anyone not vaccinated is placed on immediate unpaid leave starting on Monday. There's no submission of evidence for in state residents, apparently they already have it in a database. Anyway, I respect the rights of employers to do what they want... decisions have consequences on both sides... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also no cash accepted for the last month due to "coin shortage". Walmart 8 miles further out in the country has yet to say they have a coin shortage, and about 30% masked. lol, really? or is this the continued push for electronic currency and more govt overreach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
