Oh my now your a correct spelling freak.

That's quite a sweep of near all the posters in the V-2 thread !
Is that a timeout or done like dinner ?

It would appear that the following were placed into the penalty box for 90 days:

-thebigwheel
-sumdumguy
-farmboy44
-burnt
-parsley
-Ache4Acres
-jazz
-biglentil
-jwab
-dmlfarmer
-Stormin
-newguy
-foragefarmer

That's just what I'm seeing on my end. Perhaps others. Gonna be awful quiet around here. Plenty of those individuals had intriguing viewpoints on alot of topics other than Covid.

Personally I think it would be nice if we could keep the commodity forum more "ag" related. If there's an element of covid that you can draw back to ag, then by all means it should be allowed. If you want to rip at each others throats then probably best to put that somewhere else.

Guess we’ll see how nice (or not) the conversations go with them in lurk mode.

So I wonder why I escaped The Purge? I had been conversing with farmboy44 just before they all got kicked off. In fact I was just attempting to respond to his very gracious post where he acknowledged Stormin's post, but I couldn't find it.

So how do some get so offended that they want to leave? Like, why does one have to click on every thread? I just don’t get it? Do others have an agriville that when they open it, forces them against their bloody will to read each thread they see?

I think far more will leave because of this ridiculous banning of free speech, than would ever leave because, sniff sniff, boo hoo, people talk about non commodity related issues that in a lot of peoples’ views are important, perhaps in the case of the current issue of potential force, the most important thing happening in our society in our modern times.

I mean if I see a thread that I find stupid, I could care less. I don’t sniffle and whine and complain to the moderators. Even when a certain couple or three of the clowns tried to defame me personally, whine and snivel about my business, and insult me personally, I never complained. Who cares?

When you go to the coffee shop, do you only discuss commodity marketing? It’s just crazy. CBC crazy. Justin Trudeau crazy.

I guess if ppl. don’t see it that way, fine. But a line must be drawn somewhere, no? Mommy and daddy can only hold your hands so long.

Confused you with ABF4?

Poop. I just realized I got new chickens that would make good models.

It is not banning of free speech. No one is censoring what you can and can't see, only insisting that we posted in the appropriate forum instead of poisoning this one.
No different than enforcing parking in handicap zones, or using the appropriate washroom. Although the latter maybe a poor example in this day and age.

Go to the rural issues forum post your reviews and see if you get kicked off or not. I am willing to bet that you will discover that the administrators will leave us alone if we follow there very simple rule and allow us to post anything we want there.

After consistently degrading 95% of the posters on this site for years and offering near zero to commodity marketing let alone ag discussions much ever , I am amazed Chuck not in the box.
