You beat me to it by like 30 mins, so I bow to your superior posting.
Although the hand/ass/puppet thing was definitely one of the great things I first read on here a while back. Can't remember who it was unfortunately to give them credit (Wes maybe)
To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that Bast worked so hard/fast to get himself banned from here.
As I said - respect goes a long way for me. And regarding you and I, Flexacon - I perceived you as one of these pro-mandate people, who supports the current disaster that may not be happening where you live, but in Canada, I literally need to treat going to the gym like a criminal activity.
I could be selling steroids with less concern. I need medical documentation on hand, and I sneak in and out at late hours. I also had to be an employee in order to go last month, during yet another useless lockdown. And it's all driven by people who take this hyped pandemic seriously. Meanwhile, only 33,717 of 38,613,006 Canadians have died of this virus. That's 1 in 1,145 who died, or, conversely, 99.91% of Canadians survived. Yet, we destroyed 10,000 restaurants alone, approximately an equal number of other SME's, had all sorts of medical procedures postponed or cancelled, and went into one TRILLION dollars in debt.
Now, it's proven beyond ANY doubt that this pandemic isn't killing anyone who isn't a diseased whale or a dinosaur. If you live in an American state, you are probably ok, but in Canada, I have much less confidence about our future.
But that was before I noticed that you were changing your views with new evidence, and realized that you are not a pro-vax diehard who looks at the mainstream narrative on vaccines as gospel.
So that's about it, Flexacon - consider this an apology for misjudging you. I have no problem admitting I'm wrong, and changing my views with new evidence.
As for Bast...I was excited about him coming back, but taking potshots at Ron's body weight almost immediately - not cool. I'm just not a big fan of poking fun of people that way - unless that person is an asshole, or someone who makes fun of the physiques of others [which Ron is not]. I just never really knew Bast to be someone to make fun of someone's weight like that...I was disappointed, and disappointed that he got himself kicked off here so quickly. I was looking forward to his posts, but oh well.
