Wow, what's with the picture of Locke?

EDIT: Oh, I see you spoiled it later on in the thread.

Hit the "!" on a post, look it over but just "Close" instead of "Submit Alert".
I believe if you use a y and an e at the end of a certain word that works getting it by auto bot, but if the post is alerted the Moderator will know exactly what was meant.

I hate to say it, but posters in here are more interested in themselves and each other
than they are in true political matters. People are just too wound up.

But that's life

I don't think the word you are trying to replace had one syllable.

😲
I realised that immediately after I clicked post, it’s actually got the same or possibly one more than the suggested replacement, I feel such an idiot. 😒
But you can spit idiot with a lot less effort than nincompoop.

Are you talking about the little group on here or just people in general?

Perhaps the Covid-19 is driving everyone a little mad?

It a lot more elegant but can you say that whilst being angry.
I just got two pm’s from a poster who shall remain nameless. The first one was crowing about how they got this thread pulled after alerting it and then a second one crying and claiming leftist bias because it got reinstated. Oh how I laughed.
I bet they feel an idiot for sending the first one.

What would make you say that lemon? Are you trying to turn the Moderators against you?

It would improve the tone of discourse on the forum even more to ban the use of the pejorative "racist".

Let's all agree, shall we?
Once again, if you don't want to be called a racist, don't be a racist.

It ain't rocket science.
