It's screwed up that I start my day in this forum looking for threads to lock, but that's where we're at right now
I am going to say it again- everyone, please calm down. Stop creating new threads when there is already a thread on a given subject. Stop with the open displays of FEAR about whatever. Stop. Please.
Stop with thread after thread about what the fucking Democrats in Congress are doing. Stop creating threads to ask about hosting services. Stop creating threads just because some Goddamned politician made some Goddamned outrageous statement.
The world has not come to an end. Calm down and try to behave normally. Jesus Christ.

Thanks!
Myself and I'm sure many others need a refuge from the panic. I'm getting hit with panic via multiple communication methods and some friends and family are downright manic right now.

Amen. I won't even post in those threads because of it. It wears me down.

Amen Para. We are looking for encouragement and refuge here. We are constantly assaulted with bad news and fear mongering everywhere else already.

On top of that I'd wager someone, somewhere is figuring a witty response to the boss right now.
You want to rethink that.
Don't do it.
This is neither the time nor the place.

So glad you are here. Words well written. Between ongoing health problems, the Covid mess, and not seeing you around here has me down. Now that you are back, i'll perk up a tiny bit. The health problems should improve in a month or two. Covid? I don't know. Stay well.

Thank you Boss. I know I take comfort in the fact that there are so many great people here. I see members go above and beyond the call of duty time and time again and I know we are only a small sampling of the great people all around us.

Welcome back. The place wasn't the same without you, which is a poor reflection on the users.
=== I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.
