I accept your explanation. The other threads seemed to be innocent enough at first, before they proved to be anything but “innocent.” So, I decided it would be best to call a cease fire on your thread before it went too far.
If I was wrong, I apologize. However, my apology does nothing to change my resolve to put an end to political and Covid threads, especially those that turn into an all out verbal war. I think nearly everyone here will agree that this web site is not a place for those topics. Those who don’t, may want to give the O’Connell’s forum a try.
