There’s plenty of meandering threads on subjects I’m not interested in on General Chat (and elsewhere on this forum), but I’m not going to tell anyone/everyone else what they should and shouldn’t be interested in…for a start it it’s unfriendly, secondly it would be arrogant to do so, or worse it could easily be interpreted as bullying.

Everyone’s opinion is valid and a good discussion relies on difference, like life in general. Anyone who thinks everyone else should see everything the same way as them is at risk of being perceived as a dictator.

I think you missed the point.

Condensing all the negative into one thread can have a serious effect on people.

A balanced discussion is good.

The individual I referred to is just posting negative after negative, consuming bandwidth with links to what no sooner is posted is out of date, and contributing very little in return for his incessant posts.

A thread discussing positives as well would be a great thread. This one is just the BMW Covid thread (Bitch moan whinge) full of negativity.

As a balance - I posted that I’m not amused by the priorities given to sporting codes…
Lonely Old Man smart arse, with his sarcastic lack of wit then assumed I don’t participate in sport and used his usual thinly vailed BS in his response.

Have a read in the thread, he continually lobs crap on all the other states, holier than now about his place of residence, and just like a spambot posting link after link of negativity.

Anyway, the SOC is now on my block list.

I'm sorry to say it, but with that many people in the community infectious and with Delta having such a high R0 rate, that's heading towards numbers like Melbourne had last year.

In contrast, Melbourne had 22 today but all but 6 were in isolation.

According to Minister Martin Foley [ who comes across as extremely competent btw, ] there were 26 locally acquired cases, with all but two cases in isolation during their entire infectious period. One of the cases who wasn't in isolation was travelling from country Victoria and stopped to get fuel, they sanitised their hands and credit card before paying and moving on home. The second was in the community for a day, before isolating at home. From the Riverine Herald.

Victoria records 26 new cases, all linked (riverineherald.com.au)

Meanwhile in NSW,[ stay safe everyone];

NSW records 124 new COVID cases on worst day of outbreak so far (msn.com)

Thinly veiled.

Those with a genuine interest in what’s going on aren’t reading your posts - they’re looking at the stuff directly - you know, on the net, where you get all your stuff from.

Thats why I have him on my ignore list and only see what he has posted when someone else quotes him. The problem is when I open the thread, sometimes I can have almost a full page of blocked Bobby posts and nothing else as he posts thread after thread of links and old news.
