Unless you just had to delete some crazy posts or something, this seems like an odd time for this message. This has been about as good a political discussion as one could ever expect...of course there is going to be a little bit of spice here and there because we are talking about things that actually matter, but this discourse is still more civil than most of the threads about hockey.
For the most part you’re not wrong. Some posters are always lightning rods in these discussions and there have been a handful of posts that… tiptoe up to the line. It was really intended as just a gentle reminder, and not to limit the current discussion in any way.

Apologies for overestimating your abilities. I’ll include pictures next time

It’s pretty much their M.O. If they’re replying to you, it’s a given they’ll have an insult somewhere in the post, sometimes just a condescending comment and other times both.

They’re usually pretty funny though. A little bit clever, sometimes full of that iconic wit I’m know for.

Getting a response from me is a honour, truly.

I know it’s what I’m here for! Though, I haven’t thought the last few were all that amusing?

Sometimes you’re hitting them with certified gold, sometimes you have to test out new material.

If every hit was a knockout nobody would want to box. I play for the love of the game.

Last week wasn’t a good one for Alberta’s UCP – this week holds the promise of more … snow

Is there a website out there that still tracks all of UCP's mishaps?...thought it was firetheucp.ca or something but that seems to be owned by CUPE. Maybe I'm misremembering the name.
It was quite (negatively) impressive collection in the early days of the reign of Kenney. Can only imagine what a compilation looks like now...

Sounds like the CBC is working on something even bigger than the Pawlowski call video, and this is a preemptive attempt to intimidate.

How dare publicly funded media try to hold government accountable. Must be a liberal conspiracy.

Probably, I mean the case being before the courts sure stopped her from talking to Pawloski in the first place.
