> Gee, I wonder why we were left with that impression? You railed against a bunch of us and, unless I missed it, didn’t explicitly say you were not rooting for recovery while chastising us for rooting against it. If I missed an explicit mention then I apologize. If not, it’s not like I made some giant leap in assuming as much.

I said two things, before or around the announcement that he was positive.

After he was positive, and some of the things that were bothering me got worse (in my opinion), I made this spicier comment in another thread:

> The Drumpf thread has been a race to the bottom and a blight on what this place should be. A few jokes about the guy getting sick, with some commentary on how he absolutely deserves it is fine. 3k posts stroking each other off with dueling memes fantasizing about everybody in contact with him dying is not healthy.

In each of these, I’m explicitly saying there’s a space for some edgelording/humor, and in each of these I’m implying that I think he absolutely deserves whatever he’s going to get out of this.

After a night’s sleep, and again in my judgment, I read some stuff from posters I have a ton of respect for that upset me. So this is what I said when I said I’m not going to be posting on the forum for a while:

> I’m not going to posting on the forum for a while. I’ll almost certainly lurk, and maybe there will be better days ahead and I’ll reconsider this decision, but this thread took a turn for the depraved and that’s not my bag. Hard to see some of you guys in the same light going forward. I’ll leave y’all with an election night quip that I’ve been saving for like 2 years, assuming things go well. “Speaking of 300 electoral votes, I hear America is getting a 320 pound mole taken off the Presidenc…

> Just to clarify, I don’t give two shits about respecting the office. It has nothing to do with people quite rightly saying his covid response has killed over a hundred thousand people needlessly and that he is reaping what he sowed. Cool, say that, say that once, twice. But this thread has turned into a baited breath, minute by minute blog about a guy possibly suffocating to death, replete with memes about morons (still victims) who died of covid, fantasies of other administration officials g…

I’m 100% sure nobody wants to read this, which factored into my decision to be brief about it in the first place. But if you’re going to @ me saying I’m Mr. Civility scolding everybody that they’re obligated to hope and pray he has a full and speedy recovery, then I will correct you.
