The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Ya know, I once had a discussion with a Mormon who actually DID accuse me of editing a post after the fact - he was absolutely CONVINCED of it. I told him that, after a period of time (15 minutes?) it actually shows an "edit" stamp, and it had been HOURS. But he accused me of editing it anyway, and using my mod powers to hide the fact.Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostOf course you did, CP. No one saw you edit your post afterwards.

That's a whole lot easier than "oh, sorry - I didn't see that".

Or it could correct disinformation that could help people restore their lives back to normal. At worst, some of the COVID-19 videos could make some people in the media and government a bit more accurate in what they report. We already see that Fauci is no longer on the pandemic task team -- even if it hardly makes a difference in what the news conferences cover.Originally posted by Roy View Post

All right, buddy. Peace to you. I'm just here to share information, not force you to understand it.Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostI'm seeing no evidence of censorship targeted at the Covid-19 discussion.
A pattern of actual censorships.
I don't see how you can hold to this unsubstantiated claim so strongly...
Often repeated - never supported with any data.
I actually have - many times now. I have fouond no data to substantiate the claims. They appear to be a right-wing scare tactic. As I have noted before, there are many ways to deal with poverty and need. There is currently only one way to deal with the pandemic.Comment

On occasion?
Despite all of the accusations to the contrary - it is my practice to acknowledge being wrong as soon as someone makes it clear that I am.
