I only saw references to this afterwards. (I wasn't in that thread for a day or 2). Is this the timeline you were putting together? I would like to read it. PM me if you are interested.
As for the PSU post, I really think you misread it. The COVID thread has been going smoothly lately, and very civil from what I have seen, but one or 2 posters are continuing to post silly crap or things that have been debunked for weeks. months actually. I think he was just "venting" in banter, same as we tend to do in similar cases when there is a storm thread. I hope you at least are willing to consider that this is what occurred, and that it was not an attempt by him to cast a wide net and disparage all conservatives.. We all have different political views here- no secret there- but that has not seemed to be a problem in that thread lately.
