That particular poster had spent the last few days belittling anyone (or at least their opinion) who brought up the possibility of snow next week and it started to really piss me off. I did give him about a half dozen weenie reactions on his posts over the last 2-3 days. When I saw him say there was literally no reason to not get the vaccine, and following it up with an F bomb, I grew tired of his excluding and belittling ways and pointed out another opinion and backed it up with information. I had thought he was a bit more of a senior poster but after he sort of mocked my moniker, I am assuming that I have him confused with someone else. Classic repartee. 'Do you even know what a Bubbler is?'---'I am a Bubbler.' lol. Talk about playing both sides of the fence. Earlier today I had pointed out that I was frustrated with the vaccine movement in PA and there I am siding with people who will not get it whether personal or medical reasons.

Itstrainingtime Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 It sickens me that people can no longer disagree respectfully- we have become a society that looks to be offended, and turn around and use that to mock and harass others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they even realize that not only are they excluding others, but they're also turning off some of their own peeps? How many good people have left down there because of the ugliness. And the worst part is - they honestly don't give a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand banter, but maybe not divisive topics? As a lifelong weather enthusiast who is very new to discussing it on forums, it does raise my curiosity - does the weather enthusiast community lean one way or the other politically or is it mixed?

Mount Joy Snowman Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Oh man some real clowns down in that MA forum. Anyway, my take on the upcoming pattern is that significant snowfall is very likely in the coming weeks but will probably be confined to the more typical regions for this time of year (i.e. upstate NY and perhaps extreme northern tier of PA). I would never rule out a coastal popping at just the right spot along a boundary to bring us some action into lower PA but wouldn't place my chips on it either. Regardless, winter is not over and will make itself known a couple more times before the month is out. Now, what's going down in eastern Wyoming/Colorado this weekend, THAT is worthy of some attention. Likely gonna be a season's worth of snowfall for some folks out there. Gotta love the high plains and front range weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that and rarely post down there because I will not put up with it but sometimes someone catches my attention and I cannot let it go. Most of us have been doing this for a long time and are used to the interactions. That was one of the faster escalating ones I have been involved in for quite some time. Usually the name mocking, "this is not your forum" and "show me facts" comes after a few horns knock but it came out right away. I am just going to assume he is going through a bad time in his life or something. At the end of the day I wish everyone got along and no one said anything to alienate others but I know that's not totally possible with so many personalities.

That's a good question. It frankly has been like this since I got involved in the early 90's. There are all kinds of personalities and with it comes all kind of opinions. I think most of us are regular folks...not many CEO's of companies or doctors on here because they are probably too busy (Ha, an opinionated statement so excuse if you are a doc!) but lots of regular folks who all have opinions. I would guess there are just as many Dem's as there are Repubs and a lot in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly deem myself to be a “regular person.” On a weather forum I’m a weather enthusiast first and have no desire to engage in political debate.

And on this point, I am sorry to anyone whose eyes I made bleed having to read the ugly, albeit it short, confrontation. I really was not trying to be political as much as defend all the people reading that may have felt shamed by his post.

Not sure what I missed in the MA trash talk forum, but dont really miss that place one bit. It was a means to an end for me. We've added a few here this year and the convo has been just fine w/ me. I dont need or miss the pissin and moaning one bit.

I know I appreciate your friendliness and openness towards me when I post on here. Just because I don't live in my hometown of Lancaster County anymore doesn't mean I don't care about it or the people. Apparently some people thrive off of toxic environments.

Bubbler86 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Covid knocks UVA out. Do not think the NCAA can be played if teams start dropping out during the tourney. Need to hope this tightens up fast. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think uva is in as a 4 so hopefully no more positive tests and a Friday tourney tip date and they’re good to go. It sucks for acc tournament though bc if they have it were looking at Ga Tech getting destroyed by unc FSU winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think UVA is still a go for the NCAA right now but a situation where a team in the NCAA is playing someone that gets covid and they get a free pass on to the next round while their opponent there did not get the free pass and had to play an extra game. That seems a little worrisome. We shall see. I am actually questioning if UVA really needed to cancel their game. Are the rules too strict?
