I have tried to explain again, to you, why I asked what I did, but you refuse to even try to understand.
You need to vent. I get that. But as I said before, there are already at least two appropriate threads for you to do that - one is a thread about Labour, and the other is the covid thread. I stand by my initial post and request that you simply use those threads to vent your frustration about the government. I fully appreciate that political decisions are relevant to OCA, but the Cindy bashing rants are not. You are not the only one here who is stressed. Maybe not for the same reasons as you, but stressed all the same. Everyone's stress is legitimate.
Clearly, you see me as being callous and lacking empathy for the current situation for those of you in Auckland. You are wrong about that. I feel for you and I hope things change for you all, very soon. But you cannot use the situation as an excuse for your behaviour in these forums, or the way you react to people.
All I am really asking is can we all please stay on topic so we can enjoy discussing OCA without all the emotional distractions. Pretty simple really.
