I will say this AGAIN : IF YOU ARE WATCHING MAINSTREAM MEDIA THEY ARE RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT ... So they are never one sided are they.

So where do you get your news Sam_Winchester? What is this reputable new source that you get everything from, I've seen you mention several places we shouldn't be getting it from but haven't told us where we can.  

Being stupid isn't a crime, as far as I can tell. 

I really think this at best is a very disrespectful post, it should not be for a place like this. Show some basic human respect if you can muster it for people on here that might be affected either directly or indirectly by covid. People have lost loved ones, people have had it might have it now even, people are struggling with long covid, people are worried about their kids going to school and the fractious way education has to be at the moment and what that means for their futures, the health service is on it's knees and I could list much much more. Totally disrepectful. Please keep you highly provokative views to yourself and allow every person with their own moral compass and expereinces surrounding this to make their choices as they see fit. Very poor taste this. I know this is an outside thread but I think topics that are so sensitive do not belong on a gaming site. 

Agreed on that Daffodil  I have known other posts of a similar content be removed. I am a little surprised this is still up to read to be honest. Most come here as an escape from RL, I don't mind a good debate on anything really but not on something this sensitive that has touched so many of us likely one way or another on here. Keep that for your other forums where this sort of content is better placed and likely better recieved. 

We can only hope the 4 men in suits at Big Carburettor didn't get clued into his exposing of their malicious practices

I'm sure one of the youtube videos that gives him his entire worldview will have schooled him on the dangers of oversharing

I have messaged helpdesk for clarity as many will know of other posts along these lines that were nowhere near as heated were removed and this isn't - not in an wtf way just in a general I don't understand way. I don't think it helps that the title gives no clue of the content which to some (me included) can be very distressing for personal reasons that I won't go into. It might be the other posts were in the streets and this is outside I can't recall that fact to be far or that the author is technically dead...I just don't think this content belongs on a gaming site. Outside - ask me what I had for dinner, what other games I play, moan about Trump / Boris, ask for top tips on a weekend away - not this. I am intrigued to understand where the threshold lies for admin. I also support total freedom of speech too which might sound like a contradiction but not this topic on a gaming site. I don't even mind that there is strong opinion both ways it just isn't for here in my humble opinion. As I just mailed to admin I didn't expect to log on to my escape game and read something so painful that I ended up in tears. Hopefully we can get an answer that helps us all better understand. I also accept the just don't read it if you don't like it point - the title didn't let me know that otherwise I would have avoided it. Anyway let's see...

As I read these posts here I believe that Sam has the right to his views like anyone else.

Have people died from covid yes, but like he has said here many also have died from other things in life that we all seem to take for granted now, drinking, smoking where and when do we draw the line on what is hurtful or not.

I salute the people of the world that are wanting to take back their lives. The rest of us should be thankful for that, Covid is something that we are going to have to live with for the rest of our lives.

Sure, I think everyone has the right to their views. Even when they are dumb as fuck. Such as these views. 

If anything I'm glad that threads like these exist to show that even though we are all different and have differing views we can all come together and pile onto idiots who are spouting nonsense. 

Wear a mask, get vaccinated, get boosted. Don't be an idiot. 

Well I'm double vaxed, boasted and I still wear my mask...partly because I work in a hospital and partly because I just don't want to catch Covid. I've been working in a hospital from the height/beginning of the pandemic until this very day and I have yet to catch Covid. At the same time I watch co-workers who are anit-vaxers that have all caught Covid at least once and some twice. Even some of my vaxxed co-worker have tested positive for Covid, but in 98% of those cases those people either didn't wear their mask properly, took them off several times during the day or just don't believe the virus is real. To each his own though.

One thing I can say is being double vaxxed and boosted I can do whatever I want in this country without any restrictions.

Is that mainstream media DoctorBang? Clearly that is fake news. 

It's hard being a shepherd to so many sheeple. 

Hey guys and lasses, it seems some memories including mine fade fast, I blame it on on the home brew! Is there ppl here been on long enough to recall the removed posts pls? If so can you add some detail. Specifically on this topic removed by well known characters in at the time leading positions, and then later returning kin amoungst others. Please confirm my mental incapacity or add info either is useful at this point in time. Info for comparrison is needed and helpful is all. Thanks y'all.

You're asking for people to recall threads and posts that have been deleted in the past? 

Yes I am. For those that read them I think they will recall as the posters felt apposed to the reasons for removal. If no one wants to or comes forward no issue it was a general request that ppl can choose to respond to or not or ignore.

Really appreciate the clarification Squishy thank you. I did suggest above that the other threads could have been removed as were posted I think in the streets so might not have made it an outside forum and that could be the reason. Understanding the threshold too is helpful, I didn't really think any 'rules' as such had been broken just confused about why some on this topic that were more heated were removed and this not but you have explained perfectly why that would be the case and the thresholds where you would feel the need to step in. Again thank you for clarifying! Much appreciated :)
