    I thought I would get some push-back but so far I've gotten three "like" reactions and nothing else.

    You sound almost disappointed, Horace.

    Virtue signalling is revolting, no matter for which cause and from which direction. If this Karen's position is the prevailing one in the neighborhood, then maybe it's you who are in the wrong place. How is it that his adherents are wrong to push their advocacy and you are morally right to oppose it?

    You may be up against a mob. Remember what became of Don Quixote. This from SparkNotes: "In the end, the beaten and battered Don Quixote forswears all the chivalric truths he followed so fervently and dies from a fever."

    Two pieces of advice:

    1. Be like Gandhi: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

    2. Tear down those fecking flyers. If it's reaction you're looking for, that should do it!

    Better to spray paint MAGA on them.

      Advice from Cats! I think you should start a thread titled so, and have GK pin it. It would be a hoot! We could ask life questions, or maybe pose hypotheticals, and you could let us know how we should behave.

      You could also have panel discussions, invite-only. Maybe Ax could be a regular panelist?

      Education is extremely important.

        Much like your intended response toward the pro-Karen memo peeps in your neighborhood? With all that educating you have to do?

        But much as I appreciate the compliment, I simply can't contemplate such right now. One of the key players on my team went on the COVID list FIVE DAYS (yesterday) before their game against the Rams, and it looks like he won't be starting. This is very worrisome. I can't be sparing the energy for anything else just now, I am far too frantic. Y'all will just have to muddle along on your own.

          It sounds like your advice was retaliatory. Now that I know that, I will strongly consider not taking that advice to heart.

          However, I strongly advise you to base your pinned advice thread entirely on retaliatory advice. I think it'll be gold, Cats. Gold!

            No, it wasn't. That's your interpretation.

            You are far too quick to take offense, where none was intended -- far too quick to attack. I don't need to deal with that. I give you my word, I will not again address any issue of yours in any manner that can be interpreted as other than impersonal.

              "multicultural diverse city, hosting a mix of many ethnic groups."

              Was that written by lieutenant-detective Frank Drebbin, Police Squad, Special Unit of the Task Force Police Department?

              You just can't do that to the English language.

              Please love yourself.

                  Surely, you can't be serious.

                    Of course I'm serious. I'm a very Shirley Karen kinda guy.

                      What, they have streets named "Lewis and Clark?"
