So, let me see if I understand. He’s being a flaming asshole because he is tired of the same half dozen people continuing to do the same things they have been doing for a month.......posting information that has been largely wrong, debunked and whatnot by the “experts”. Yet ANYTHING that is posted that goes against that “we’re all going to die” narrative, it gets shouted down and the a bunch of emotional “if it saves one life” pack mentality starts to be posted. Let’s not even count the MASSIVE amount of hypocrisy of those who were in the Virginia thread clamoring about being pro-Constitution all the while in this thread they can’t move fast enough to hand their, and others, Rights over to the same people three weeks ago they claimed at the time to not trust. I get it. Some of you guys are scared. For different reasons. But, it is an illogical fallacy that is dishonest to claim he’s being an asshole with others on the other side shouting him down for posting information that is no better or no worse than all of the “34 times more deadly” lies that have been spread by the media. If that is the standard that we are using to decide who needs to take a break from this thread, there are several who claim constantly they are not panicking but are posting panicky tripe constantly that need to take a break. If ERJ needs to take a break, then there are several that need to take a break. Fair is fair because several are coming across as assholes by that standard. If we want to be fair about this, let’s be fair. And more than ERJ step back a while. A few need to stop with the constant “well my opinion is I don’t agree with those stats” opinions every time good news comes up. The constant PeeWee Herman stick is really old as well. | |||

"You hystericals..." Echos of "basket of deplorables."  Nobody's been "running this thread." Members have been expressing their views and opinions is all, and right now you're the one coming across as, if not hysterical, then something close. Relax. It's just people sharing views, opinions, and sometimes information or news. It's not like any of this will have the least impact on the progression of the disease, public reaction, or government policy.
Yes, let's YELL SOME MORE, because that REALLY MAKES YOUR POINT! Especially with LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! Must be cabin fever. "America is at that awkward stage.

ERJ isn’t an asshole, far from it. I’ve been cracking up every time he posts the Will Ferrell gif. I think ERJ is surprised and disappointed by how many people are losing their minds over the Chinese flu. I can honestly tell you I am MUCH more concerned over getting murdered by some Millennial or Zoomer looking at their phone while driving and hitting me head-on with their car than than becoming ill from the Chinese Flu. That’s not to say that older people shouldn’t take precautions, but I think a lot of people watch or read too much news. It’s nonstop Chinese Flu right now. They’re making a mountain of money perpetuating fear. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

Speaking of losing minds, what do they do to people who don't self-quarantine in India? Hit them with a stick! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snMl0XcSzOU Can't make this up. And EJR flies planes built in Brazil with engines made in Indiana by the UAW under management by a mix of better-than-you-are Brits and old-school-GM. He risks death far more often then anyone else here.  | |||

I guess it's better if this madness leads to squabbling on a forum if that provides some relief to keep it out of the household. We will all get through this. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

My post to erj was specific to his last several post and their increasing tone of anger. Shouting down would be calling people irrational, labeling them "hystericals", fear mongers, etc... If you, or he, don't agree with the points in someone's post is it necessary to label them as panicked, or part of the chicken little gang, etc? It seems the battle lines have been drawn in this thread but for the most part it's guys in the erj_pilot, jljones, and PowerSurge camp of "this is overblown flu" that can't seem to make a point without character assassination or shaming. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

Well, gee I posted that if that’s the standard we’re using to determine that someone needs to step away and it applies to way more than ERJ, hurt feelings is what you’re concerned with? Fair is fair. Stop with all the butt hurt for just a minute and stop trying to make the other side somehow more liable. | |||

This whole thing is ridiculous. On both sides, take a step back and look at what is occurring people are at each other that for 90% of the time before this event were on the same side of things mostly . Guess who’s the winner of these spats, not all of us that are usually on the relative same page. Libs and Fake news get us at each other’s throats. Deep breath folks this too will pass. | |||

To avoid a bunch of nested replies, I will simply reply in a new post. I am not concerned at all with "hurt feelings". Just suggesting that when it becomes impossible to argue among friends without personal attacks it may be time to step back. People on both sides of the argument here have reached well beyond reason trying desperately to be "right", not disputing that at all. However, if you read back through it, one side in particular seems to respond frequently with personal attacks and labels of shame. Are you saying that's ok because the other side was really annoying? ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

I could give two shits about "labels of shame". You seem to be singling ERJ out, and oblivious to the same thing going on in the last page with others. I don't care what people think. They can chuck their Rights out the door to the nanny state to "save grandpa" if they want. They can lie if they want and post false statistics if they want, and you can aid them in doing it for all I care. My point is, and remains, if you are so worried about ERJ being an asshole, and this is the standard that we are going to use, it applies to midwest guy, skins, maladat, ensigmatic, and now you. If you want to be fair, play by your own rules and labels. ERJ did nothing any worse than what they are still currently doing. Are you going to use the same standards and call the others out for being assholes? Or will they just "self-diagnose" and see that they need to step away? | |||

Wow. Ok, you want to know why guys like erj, Jones, PowerSurge, and myself have become just so damned frustrated with everything while you can sit there and pretend to be so calm and sensible? Because you are actually having your way. From where we're sitting, the world is going mad, and there's nothing we can do about it. Sometimes I feel like Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar screaming from behind the bookshelf. It's like being the passenger in a car where the driver is calmly driving 100 mph towards a cliff. You're screaming for him to stop, and he just turns to look at you placidly and says, "hey, why are you screaming?" ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||
