What does this mean?

Sorry, but I don't understand the contest.

Thank you.

Like the poster was obviously excited. You sound like the grumpy old man who yells at kids when they step in their lawn. No one wants to be that guy.

I’ve had to ask people to expand in mystery posts but I hope I’ve been at least polite. I don’t know what it gets anyone to be a crank.

Hey get off my lawn!

How often do we see useless posts like "Turn on Rachael right now!!" on DU? It's gotten a lot worse in the last 4 or 5 years. I can't blame Twitter because even on Twitter you are allowed 20 or 30 words. I am just asking people to read what they are posting. Adding two words "Wayne County" or two letters "MI" would have made a huge difference. How much effort would that have taken.

... secret probation at Faber College?

I thought the response to your post (which I found to be humorous and pretty benign) to be a little over the top. Perhaps they just had a bad day?

In a post without context?

We are all suppose to be on the same channel? Do some of us work or take care of a 94 year old mother during a pandemic and not watch the news 24/7?

But there you go. You could have stopped after your first sentence, but you had to carry on. It’s not the people asking for context, it’s the extra snide and rude remarks attached to them. I’ve been here since 2002, starting off as Ishoutandscream. I have left for long interludes, only to find a new cast of characters here who still project the same kind of rudeness. It always makes me want to take another long hiatus.

"You could have stopped after your first sentence, but you had to carry on" Wow. I had to carry on? Seriously?Carry on makes me sound deranged. I assure you I am not. You have no right to tell me what I should or should not say on this board. Nothing I said was rude or snide. I don't appreciate your comments insinuating I was. I asked for context, that is all.

Asking for context is one thing, being rude and insulting is another. Good night.

... had a long day working on pc, so my eyes were shot.

When I woke up, I didn't know it had been reversed and tweeted my outrage again...

SO very glad those voters gave them so much hell they had to reverse it!

Very inspired by our Wayne County neighbors up there in MI!
