By numerous you mean as many as 5 in total right? Because South Dakota has the 6th worst death per person rate in the country.Quote:

Actually the only person I said that of was you. I don’t think you’re a jerk overall (in fact I think you are one of the better posters on here tbh), but I believe you acted untoward with your flippant dismissal of me when I had not (up to that point) made any antagonizing remarks about you or your religion.Quote:

That was HARDLY a flippant dismissal of you, and from my POV you HAD been antagonistic. You'd asked the same question repeatedly, I'd answered it repeatedly, you'd said I hadn't been clear, I disagreed and said it was pointless for me to continue answering the question. And for that you spun off into upset, while telling me I was the one upset, which I wasn't until you started with the name calling.Quote:

Well, I tried to sincerely apologize.Quote:

nice a kumbaya moment
Most Covid metrics are declining again as we move further from the Christmas/New Years spike (just as they did after the Thanksgiving spike).
Health officials are now worried about another possible spike as a result of Stupor Bowl parties (fwiw, a recent Seton Hall poll indicated the 30% of American adults intend to participate in a SB gathering).
I term you as super defensive because that's the vibes you've been giving off since our very first interaction. I generally like you as a poster but you get hung up on some stupid **** sometimes (and then seem to hold it against whoever said it for eternity).Quote:

I don't back down from my beliefs, but I also don't look to force my beliefs on anyone else.
I've only been using it, to differentiate you from dbroncsinmo when you're both in the conversation, for like 6 months now :pQuote:
