Unfortunately that's not funny. It's alarmingly true today.

@AllSeeker, I hated to delete your post, but it's right in the middle of the vaccination/anti-vaccination, blue-state/red-state, pro-vax/covid-vax-denier controversy. Extremely political in today's environment.

We've tried to keep these topics out of the forum, as we have found they lead nowhere except to a lot of heat and no light.

Someday we will be able to look back on this period and it will not be as touchy as it is now. But not yet.

I am sorry. But we'll have to continue to ask people to keep politically charged posting off the forum.

Thanks.

Bob.

Sorry it wasn't my intention to get this removed.

blue-state/red-state

Do we consider India to a blue or red state?

I hope your right bob, but right now we seem to be heading in the opposite direction.

It was funny and should be funny. The fact that we have got to the point that "science vs I read it on the internet" is politically charged unfortunately says a lot to me about the direction of mankind.

EDIT: @bobwest Just to clarify I'm not complaining about your moderation. The civility of this site is one of its best features. Keep up the hard work.

Thanks. It's not the easiest thing that any of us has ever done....

No problem, it was an oversight on my part. It was not meant to fuel a political debate


@SMCJB I would always put India in blue corner, even if it doesn't always appear to be so or doesn't seem capable enough to deliver

He turned out to be a real wanker.
