Disagreeing with someone doesn't make them far right, nor does it make them a bully. And by the way, this forum was a hot bed of bullying before the changes were made, enabled by the previous moderators. | | | | | Potato, tomato. It still is however, only now enabled by different moderators.
It's allllll the way over to the right and practically out the other side.

I generally take the view that being a moderator is a thankless job and going after them is pretty low.
I think they all (past and present) did / do a decent job and tried their best. I was sad to see Ace1 leave, but equally think FMF is doing a good job.

Here's hoping (although it's just a shimmer) that the Local will actually keep their word.

Whatever happened to debate the post not the poster? That seems very much to have fallen by the wayside.

The account seems to be currently suspended, so all the links for nothing. What's really impressing, is that there are some butthurt snowflakes considering that having a different opinion makes you a criminal worth censoring. I agree, it might be one of the usual suspects - search after statements like "ban them", "put them in jail", "fire them" on EF.

It's probably best to treat Covid with a degree of leniency both ways as it's very emotive in society in general. I had a long chat with a Swiss neighbour who is very upset with the government (and is not an antivaxxer).
We've seen countries take questionable decisions both ways (Spain's mask outside, some US states opening very early).
So if they can get it wrong, why can't a humble poster.
Obviously anyone making soros / gates / nanorobots conspiracy theories is beyond the pale, but can't we have some respect, in both directions for opinions that differ from one's own. Lots of eminent scientists have by their own admission got lots wrong. That's unsurprising when you are dealing with something new.
Tolerance everyone - tolerance

Covid is yet another LGBTQIA+ topic - untouchable in the western world.
If EF was hosted in China/Arab land/Russia - no one would give a single fuickie.
