aquietvoice says August 15, 2021 at 6:17 pm Ha! Alright, they got me, I admit I didn’t see that coming.
John Morales says August 15, 2021 at 6:24 pm Silly. The only way it makes sense is if they imagine being exposed to social media will lead them to ludicrous beliefs. (to pre-empt, yes, I know the pun (well, semantic shift) is that the exposure to which they refer is not disease, but stupidity)
chigau (違う) says August 15, 2021 at 10:31 pm John Morales You are becoming more and more tedious. RUOK?
John Morales says August 15, 2021 at 11:16 pm I’m the same as always, chigau. A bit older, admittedly. (Perhaps it is you who is becoming more and more intolerant)
No Respect says August 16, 2021 at 12:09 am Nah, John. You’re insufferable enough to deserve an extrajudicial execution.
John Morales says August 16, 2021 at 1:44 am Exactly, No Respect. Same as always. (Actually, I’ve mellowed a tad, maybe)
LykeX says August 16, 2021 at 7:13 am I grant that John can be obnoxiously pedantic, but “extrajudicial execution”? Time to dial it back, I think.

No, you’ve definitely become increasingly petty.
