I see no political baiting. You can express your opinion. If someone tells you you're wrong, then that becomes a problem, so there will be none of that and there has not been. This is a unique situation since the Spanish-flu two turns of the centuries ago. This is not political baiting, this is life or death potentially.
We have a President that gave an address yesterday, back peddling, after he made horrid suggestions about getting the "economy" up and running, and countermanding the suggestions and enforcement of the Governor's of many states, and about keeping distance from each other, and not grouping. He belives it will be over in two weeks. That requires addressing. If you think it will be over in 2 weeks, then that's what you think. The majority of scientists do not agree with this assessment.
I see no one here shouting either. Everyone has been courteous and respectful. If some one states an opinion and it does not agree with yours, that is not shouting or baiting. No one has stated anything that is out of order. If someone does, I will explicitly state why that opinion breaks the rules. The facts are facts. Our government, both sides of the aisle have been in a decades power struggle that has helped no one, and we pay the price. I am affiliated with no party.
Fact is that a president that dictates by tweets and does not follow the advice of his own Surgeon General, and other health advisor, he is in error, IMHO. That is my opinion, but the facts that lead me to form that opinion are well documented, just listen do every news broadcast and read all the internet news sites, and the statements made bythe Surgeon General, and the leaders for the CDC (Center for Disease Control).
I reserve the right to make the call if something is out of hand, and a worldwide pandemic means people need to be heard and express themselves.
If "someone" gets angry because someone else expressed their opinion, then the problem lies with them. No one is proselytizing.
It is not the time to stick you head in the ground. If you feel the need to post something, then post in (I mean "you in general"). No one will shoot you down unless you don't follow the respectful tone that has been set here.
Believe me, and I think everyone knows, I will not and do not tolerate intimidation by or towards any member of this forum. This is a very unique time, and for some people, one of the few outlets that they have where they will not be pounced upon. Let's share our opinions, we do not need to come to a consensus.
