I think I know which comment you are referring to and we removed it and warned the poster. It was over the line, you are right. Someone did report it, so it did not go un-noticed, at least not by the contributors to this thread.

It's tricky to find the right balance in the Water Cooler — it's a space where almost "anything goes", but there are still limits. Reporting posts helps us catch things that cross the line.

As onlimne threads go, this one is good. I rarely find it offensive, or not very much so. And I learn a few things, here and there, now and then. But mostly everyone knows my general views and I know theirs so not that much is news. Nothing can be done about that.

With the appointment of Matt Gaetz to Attorney-General, satire is now officially dead.
What next? MTG for NIH?

It's not enough that Trump has talked about putting RFKJr in charge of healthcare?

I think we'd be better off if the brain worm were appointed.

And 10 minutes later - RFKjr gets the health care gong.
The start of global worming.
