The Value of Social Distancing

Please post, for all to see, the"private messages" you claim I sent to your inbox.--- This posting, today, is a classic example of who is calling who out and escalating the events --" In the midst of this national crisis, it's good to know that our glorious orange leader continues to focus on what's important.

Wow!Didn't realize it had gotten that bad.Sounds like the typical toothless hillbilly that just loves loves loves him some village idiot.Probably sitting on the couch wrapped in a nazi flag watching the trump new conference.

I've been undecided as to whether he's just another drooling Trumper idiot, albeit meaner than most, your standard conflict-craving internet troll, or a Russian troll-farm bot. The last is suggested by the striking repetitiveness and unoriginality of his posts. He's literally said the same exact two or three things several hundred times each. That suggests a lack of intellect.

It still amazes me how human beings can allow themselves to be controlled by a village idiot.It's almost as if they went back for seconds and thirds of the koolaid.

Make that two village idiots. 

Most humans with a IQ above...what is it, 40?...accept that at some point they have said what they need to say and stop pressing, that not everyone in the universe will agree.  And that while cogent arguements are best ended with "I see you feel strongly about that, so let us agree to disagree" and STOP with the insults. 

Insults weaken any debate.

And might I add that this thread started with a link to a very useful, non-political, presentation applicable to what is happening in the world.  As usual, one of the villagers could not resist taunting the other, and the other could not resist...well, ya know.

Truthfully, I'm wondering if these two aren't actually best of friends, having fun baiting the rest of us.  That would be a good thing, then we'd know and could laugh.

There is only one idiot - and that idiot did not post this thread.

So who posted it for you?

Candy, the idiot Bbking was referring to was Trump.

While it would be amusing if it were true, I'm afraid I'm not friends with, and never would be, with someone who has threatened to kill me several times because I don't see things the way he does.

That said, I'll try to take the high ground and not respond to his insults. Friction, anger, and conflict is what he craves (and he absolutely won't be able to stop himself from responding to this post with an insult), and no one needs that right now.

So tellya what. I'll make a unilateral truce. I won't respond to him, and I'll give him two attacks/insults gratis. That ought to fulfill his short-term needs, and give him time to target someone else (dare we hope---on some other forum?).

I'm not going to ask him if he agrees. Let's just see what his behavior's like. And any nasty/insulting response to this post won't even count as "Strike One."

Leon County, Florida  has provided useful information addressing maintaining "physical distancing" during the coronavirus pandemic: physical distance

Do those officials recommend that everyone carry an alligator when going out in public, so as to be able to properly gauge social distancing at all times?

For the record, when golfing in Florida, I have encountered alligators on several occasions, and my social distancing guidelines compelled me to stay much further away than one alligator length.
