Some calls went out for volunteers this year because the usual workers are older and more at risk people so I volunteered. I’m the Republican clerk in a precinct adjacent mine (that shares my voting location conveniently). Clerk is the second lowest job but that’s fine by me. I have some training to do and I’ll report my experience after the third. Anyone else done this or doing it?

We all know his name. Using it in that context would be different.

I don’t. I used the quote and his behavior to present a picture of at best a reckless threat that who knows who would interpret as some sort of clarion call, and that he didn’t disavow. You defended your view. So be it.

Not true but you be you.

"My understanding is that this decision was made by @SDS personally. He has made a decision that certain viewpoints are unwelcome on his board. Make this hurt for him." How besides doing something to the website could anyone make it hurt? If 10 conservative posters left, that would not register as a blip at TBD. This is the Internet. Several posters have gotten personal creepy crap from their interface with this place and Tasker's statement was about hurting SDS. He had 3 chances to walk it back or clarify responding to me. He didn't do it a single time.

DR did this to himself and I was nowhere near him when he blew himself up. I didn't report him. I was not in the middle of his behavior of either of his suspensions. I was not the guy who created multiple accounts while suspended that made SDS have to block them. I was not the guy who came back and started copying SDS on emails. I was not the guy who started doing EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS SUSPENDED FOR after he came back. And I was also not the guy who threatened to hurt SDS by his real name.

He advocated making it hurt not to TBD but he was addressing SDS by first name "personally"...to an audience of strangers. If he is advocating that 5 people leave, he knows that ain't gonna hurt anything. He was advocating something else, vaguely, to anonymous people on the internet. Whether it was inside the walls or outside "personally" to him, I have no idea. He had 3 chances to walk it back and didn't. That's ***** up and glad you agree. Don't be a lowlife. I didn't report DR. Not once. Not ever.

I eat a lot of radishes. Chopping up the leaves for green salads is delicious. I'd been throwing them out for years until just recently.

The Covid thread spent 4 pages on abortion and a few on RBG so.

He bans people who go after him and flip him off, on the left AND the right. Perhaps you need to revisit the FIRST POST in this thread, and Zebra's post about getting suspended. And yet again, that has nothing with you saying that people should make SDS "hurt" personally. That is totally ***** up. And you've had 3 chances to retract it and won't, which says a lot about you. Maybe when you cool off, you can come back and apologize but at the very least, you should retract what you said and not encourage anyone to do anything to hurt him. Jesus.

What you did was not content related. You were just being a zero-add poster.

Sept 7 2019 expected: 52,296 Sep 5, 2020 expected 51,992 Difference: ~300 Not sure why it changes but it does (weather, behavior?). 300 wouldn't make this a non-pandemic since we've been over the excess limit by 7-10K+ most weeks since the spring.

Substantively, this misses the point that the Q thread has never been moderated, as SDS stated, and nor have many others. SDS is a human with an opinion, which he shared and he did that to show how little moderation he does here, not as a precursor to banning DR. DR (and others on the LEFT in the Billstime mode) got themselves banned for their behavior, not their politics. It also does not answer my question. You advocated that people should "Make this hurt for [SDS]" and made this about him "personally." That's pretty sick and you should probably take your own advice and quit here if you can.

What about the guy who said people should make TBD (SDS actually) "hurt" for banning DR? What's your opinion on that?

The most recent weeks always lag so they are higher than this shows, but we are still at pandemic levels. It's a math thing. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

I think we can all see you for who you are: A guy who tries to rally his buddies to "make it hurt" for SDS, personally. This is a message board on the internet. You're anonymous. He's not. And you made a threat, knowing what crap like this can do on the Internet. If you were drunk and regret doing that, now is the time to say it.

What's your take on a threat to make TBD "hurt" for banning DR?

Wow I missed this. What kind of a messed up threat is this? Let's discuss the DR squad and why I made the assertion that PPP was a problem again shall we? Just quit and go to The Parlor and have a great time.

The old Italian guys in Delaware Park used to crush bocce.

Darnold isn't going to be worth much. My guess is a 4th and that's if he starts playing well. Remember Josh Rosen? I go with the Texans. Building around Watson seems like a good place to be.

He will be a coach next year as long as the Bills O plays like some version of this and it will be deserved.

I respect that--I assumed that you were being coy intentionally but was also very curious.

Not many long time posters responded seriously in this thread. Also not sure why that is but I observe it. I wouldn't say SDS or I are lefties. See my answers to Bill's questions. Speaking for myself though, I'm definitely not a Trump-ist and/or part of this new iteration the Rs are trying to be. Like many here, I've never been a party guy but I'm really not these days, though I'll vote for a major party candidate this time (something I did not do in 2016).

Will you share the sport? I had to give up a long lifetime of basketball a few years back, and tried tennis and Squash (the later was pretty fun and a good substitute even with a bunch of old guys who had limited experience on some beat up courts at a local high school). Always curious about people’s sports but especially as we age.
