Threats? Really?
Tsk, tsk. So 1938. Or perhaps so "guilty by reason of wearing eyeglasses." Same, same; brute nitwits try to outvote math with fists. Not how that works, here in civilization, and you haven't managed to push that over.
I think that this is the thing that bothers me more than anything about both the pandemic or the racial strife or any of the other things that face our nation right now. It is the incivility that seems to now be the norm, and accepted method of relating to one another. It would be simple to just blame it on the internet, and the anonymity that it provides, but I suspect that it was coming even before the beast that is social media. I saw it in schools when I was in them, with some in positions of leadership looking the other way when some on the outside were allowed to be bullied. I was actually in a small school and tried to stop it when I saw it, but attitudes are hard to change.
Threats are a vice of those impoverished of talent and lacking a good argument. So a putz made noises, but first they need to leave moms cellar. Unlikely thankfully.
Have a good and safe Thanksgiving day. Turducken maybe!

Some puts is threatening you? Really? Do they know that your roomie can shoot the wings off a gnat at fifty yards?

Hi,

Eck!
Eck! spelled "putz" correctly. I messed it up.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
