Spy, you’re like a great wealth of insight and knowledge at times, and a mean old lonely authoritarian codger at other times.
I’m not sure what to think of you yet, as in I don’t know which side of the equation is the real you, and which side is the forum you. You’re such an enigma to me that I don’t know if you’d buy me beer or punch me if we ever met, that sort of thing.
Trust me Mike ... I'd most definitely buy you a big beer (or two) and would enjoy a lengthy conversation with you on a variety of issues ... many we'd agree on, and some we'd not agree on.
Not agreeing doesn't imply anything beyond simply not agreeing though, face to face I never find it personal ... and as often as I'm right, I'm also wrong (like most folks who render a personal opinion).
As relates to COVID, I don't find the various levels of government to have been "authoritarian", in that I accept that governments (like people in general) most often do whatever they can to at least try and help, and that despite those best efforts, there will always be somebody, or some group that declares that those trying to help have massively missed the mark.
My best buddy for decades is a Trumper and an anti-vaxer ... and we remain the very best of buddies.
To Sparky ... respectfully ... please don't tell me what to post and/or how to post it.
Considering what's posted on a daily basis on V.V., for you to single out the word "loser" in my post is the height of hypocrisy.
There are always three choices ... you can read what I write ... you can not read what I write ... or you can ban me.
I'm always fair, and I always post in exactly the same spirit as everybody else who posts here (including most of the moderators and the forum owner).
