The post was about a person who refuses to be vaccinated, and then falls seriously ill with what is obviously Covid but won't admit it. I took this to mean that the would be directed at that person. But I was clearly wrong. Yes, that’s how it read to me too; some people are clearly too quick bite at an emoji. There needs to be a distinction between a general ‘cringe’ facepalm and a ‘you’re a bellend’ facepalm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boudicca 702 Posted February 12, 2022 I was pointed to this by an outside source and I have to say it was the most boring argument with the most boringly-expressed invectives about the most boring subject I've ever seen online, ever. And aye, I have mostly fucked off to more amusing forums before anyone even starts. Can you (not 'we') kick it up a wee bit please?
