Don’t call people assholes, this is common sense.
Things got kinda testy in the COVID thread today, but otherwise it’s been pleasant the past few days. Kudos to the posters and the mods.
Please keep discussion in this thread focused on the topic of moderation.

Well said, young man.
must be Friday night.
this forum would be much better if you shut down the covid thread. just a glorified flu anyway.
Who would have guessed that once Trump was ousted, everyone here would turn on one another? I’m not even a leftie, I came along here for the mutual hatred of Trump. It’s just like prison - a group/gang exists and is defined by their enemies. As soon as those enemies are gone, new ones are found; and those new ones are usually sub-groups of the original group.

There seems to be a lot of coordinated flagging for something like this to happen.

For too many people, If you got nothing good left to hate, you’re stuck hating with equal passion your friends who can’t bench press 250.
It’s not an unstuck or an internet thing, it’s just how things evolve for sadistic folks.
Btw, guys, I owned resident villain jmakin pretty hard on 2+2 earlier. High fives!

Everyone has posted how they always have and nearly every conflict has been entirely predictable.
Thanks for pointing this out. I changed this to 100 and set the resulting timeout to 1 hour. I feel like if 100 users flag a single post, something probably has gone completely off the rails and a timeout is worthwhile.
