This is my last post on TBN

You realize this site derives revenue from participation no participation equals no income and it's privately held so the boss gets a paycheck every month from it. All about revenue and playing the woke game could cut his water appreciably.

I understand how it works.

Another method that seems to works is putting the off topic section behind a pay wall. To access the off topic section, buy a "membership" and then access is allowed. Condition the membership on self moderation and there will be no whining to the moderators. If you can't handle the off topic area, get better arguments.

Good grief, I've been here since 2003. That is a long time. I remember when Bird posted a lot and moderated fairly too. The moderation today is far from fair and that is too bad.

I’ve been here since 2000 and really enjoyed learning from Bird and his moderation. But let’s look at this realistically. The social acrimony didn’t exist in 2000 like it does today. I don’t recall the nasty political dialogue back then like we see today. Who knows how he would have handled moderation?

Where did I mention a disease? Or are you being idiotic?

The underlying discussion here is about Covid discussions, and how they degenerate into a political issue. And you implied this by talking about conservatives and liberals.

Or he's lacking somewhere else...

Lol, thanks I'm lacking in many areas. Hope you have a great day!

Actually it is already there and has been for a while now but it's so filled with vitriolic comments from a select group of posters, you'd better have a really thick skin to post on it... It's TopNewsTalk and the boss is the only moderator (when he moderates it that is). It's pretty darn rough to put it mildly.

Have a feeling when a certain moderator reads this thread and that ain't Muhammad either, it will get locked. I'll give you one guess, it is related to sphagnum

The reason COVID discussions are no longer allowed is simple and anything but arbitrary. COVID threads invariably degrade into politics. How? A few people are not honorable enough to abide by the rules of no politics, which they agreed to when they registered at TBN.

And it’s idiotic how science is mid-perceived as politics.

However...a lot can be learned as well.

We're grown ups, we can handle it. The babysitter mentality has to be let go.

You got that right and so is the 'Loon from Saskatoon'... However, it's Muhammad's forum just like this one is.
