That is being an as*hole and a smart a**. I chose to not interfere in your latest fight, (as well as the many, many, others)when Blaxx put you in your place, about your mask comments.Because you did and do post comments on here then when proven wrong you deny it. This recent time was not the first and it won't be the last. I never pick fights with anyone on here. it is not my thing. But when provoked, I will bring it back. Should we say it is on? BTW, what the fuk do you care what I own or don't own. How does it affect you? It clearly doesn't keep you off of this website 24/7."
First, blaxx put me in my place about not recalling that, at an earlier point in the evolution of covid and the protocols, I did not think it would be viable to depend on people wearing masks and that I did not recall the stupidity Sutton had posted (and that I had previously excoriated). When I am corrected, as evidenced by the thread to which you refer, I admit it if I am wrong. So I respectfully suggest you are not on firm footing on what is a non sequitur here in any case.
Second, engaging with current technology is a choice (just ask the Amish) but choices have consequences. If you want to go to the theatre, pretty soon you are not going to have a choice but to engage with it. I get that you are not happy about that. Maybe you were not happy about the end of tokens in the subway. Maybe you would not have been happy about replacing gaslights with electrical ones in your parlor. But what you are showing by your hostility is that you want to fight with the messenger.
Why do other people here care what you do or don't do? They don't. But you will recall that it was YOU who posted about this so you obviously want people to care about your choices. When you post something on a board like this one, people react with their opinions.
I wish you well in negotiating the future without as little angst as possible. Technology is a battle you cannot win without compromising what you can do. Please stop shooting all of the lovely messengers on here and in a theatre lobby.
