Listen some of you are just sheep...you aren’t aware of it and it’s sad but I’ve learned to just accept it.

You’d eat dog shit and say how good it was if someone, anyone, you consider an authority told you it was chocolate pudding.

You will scream at the top of your lungs to “follow the science” then when “the science” openly tells you kids should be in school and that teachers don’t have to be vaccinated in order to teach you will totally dismiss the science and the CDC.

When someone you don’t like says “you know it’s possible this originated in a lab they were studying viruses at wuhan and there’s been warnings before” you will scream conspiracy theory yet as soon as anyone you consider authority says it’s possible you are right on board and it’s CERTAINLY no conspiracy theory....

It’s like we are living in Orwell’s 1984.

The fact that ANY of you think there’s a reason for people with active antibodies to be vaccinated shows you literally know NOTHING about the subject and quick read articles and pretend you understand them while parroting the information back as if you are an authority.

Wacky.

What's wacky is how somebody who was already blocked once thinks they are going to get away with that many insults while *still* not posting anything of substance here.

I am happily sending you back to the virtual silence that your orange-skinned leader already enjoys...again.  Wave to all the nice people...

 In Thailand they understand there is equivalence with different kinds of immunity.

Phuket on track to reopen to vaccinated international tourists from July 1

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/phuket-reopening-thailand/index.html

Domestic travelers to reopening Phuket will have to be  vaccinated but if you had Covid-19 , If you have recovered from it within 90 days you don't need to have been vaccinated on top of the natural immunity. Doesn't matter if you had symptoms or had no symptoms (?) In the US 7 millions Americans have chosen not to be vaccinated because they had Covid-19 https://news.yahoo.com/you-had-covid-19-should-you-get-vaccinated-rand-paul-says-no-scientists-say-yes-181751141.html

But the WASHINGTON POST has an article: 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/interactive/2021/covid-rates-unvaccinated-people/

 the pandemic is spreading as fast among the unvaccinated as it did during the winter surge

I usually don't block for trolling, that's far too general.  I block for specific behaviors outlined in the OP or for general chess.com ToS violations.  I also list the exacts offenses of each person I have blocked, here:

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/covid-19-discussion?page=1#comment-47357512

If I list "trolling" as the cause of a block , it usually means that person engaged in several incidents in a broader range, or that somebody is a returning troll with a history of broader trolling behavior in other threads.

If some new account posts something like "The Covid sucks but u all suck harder" or something like that, I will examine their posting history and if they are posting similar crap on other threads, I won't wait for repeat performances here, I will just block them immediately. 

The definition of trolling is posting with the sole intent of causing other posters to respond, i.e. causing drama for attention.  It's something that teenagers generally do, when being noticed even when in a negative light is preferable to being ignored by everyone.  Some people never mature past this stage wink.png.

I don't actually know anymore wink.png.  The link does not pull up a post by them, and they still have an active account, so that means the post was probably deleted by a mod.  That has happened on a number of occasions and I try to document them when they happen, but if I never notice the deletion then you just end up with a dead link that goes to the right page but does not find a post...

   A few pages back I posted about the incentives to getting a shot.  Free beer,.....free basball tickets,...etc.  Ok,...a noble gesture. West Virginia really tops the list. This is why we won't get any action done on gun safety.meh.png  Get a vaccine shot.....don't forget to pick up your free gun on the way out. cry.png.....Geezs Louise...frustrated.png   And you wonder about the idiocity on Chess.com..  Well there's no wonder where that idiocity comes from.                                                             https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/06/01/west-virginia-to-give-away-guns-as-covid-19-vaccine-incentive/?sh=5555c18f2cc8
