Okay then. Just as a note, I've never used the word crazy to describe extremists. I've used knuckle draggers but have modified my approach to date. I just don't respond to the politics of the left and I'm not the only one waking up to the reality of virtue signalling over substance that is emanating from that. You want to discuss policy, fine....let's do that...but respectfully for a change. 2 minutes ago, Mark H. said: So basically - no one is doing it right. Not true at all.

Secondly- you know nothing about me and what I have experienced in my life time, so please- temper your rhetoric. Thirdly- the below post is what I was commenting on- there is no mention of race, racism or not agreeing "with his right to be sad over blatant racism against his people." Like most of what you post in this thread- you are wrong. My sincerest apologies. I am sorry, I thought you were referencing my response to the disgusting grave robbing in BC. Please accept my apologies on that. I was hurt and really didn't remember another reference where I referenced being saddened. In the future if I ever feel like that again I will give any member the benefit of the doubt to clarify through PM. I would also like to apologize to the rest of the forum for my outburst. It's a topic that has been front of mind for me since reading it yesterday, and I should not have assumed anything. I hope you can understand where i was coming from and why that stung me. Respectfully, I am ashamed of that outburst and will leave this discussion as sometimes I get too triggered by it. Have at er guys....it's been a fun past time discussing politics with you all. See you all on the football side of the forum. Edited June 22, 2023 by GCn20 Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone want to take a guess at how many light bulbs are in use at any one time across the departments that Buildings & Maintenance are responsible for? Also, Buildings & Maintenance are notoriously understaffed and therefore need to prioritize their calls. Heaven help everyone if heating/cooling goes down. blue_gold_84, HardCoreBlue and Wanna-B-Fanboy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn20 Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) To all forum members on this thread. I have come to the decision that talking politics with you guys is not bringing out the best in me, and I wish to withdraw from the conversation. I respectfully ask that you not suck me back into the vortex, ignore my past posts, and just let me be. An unfortunate incident today has me wishing just to leave this thread for my own, and everyone else's, personal happiness. Thanks for understanding. Carry on....great thread.
