Lweji, you posted a study regarding the impact on performance of people wearing of masks whilst running.
I pointed out that there were exceptions to this and these were also noted in the study.
You stated in one post;
“If they are running in a group, close together, then it is a good idea for all of them to wear masks.”
Then in another you posted;
“Again, the exception that shows that then masks should not be worn by everybody.
For every rule there are exceptions. We know.
Except that in the UK everyone seems to be an exception”
These posts aren’t defending runners and you were not stating that they do not need to wear masks.
You’re obviously angry that I wasn’t agreeing with you at this point in the thread. I was trying to point out that for a lot of people (who, like me are actually terrible at running at the best of times!) it’s about keeping healthy and it being enjoyable. It’s definitely not about the performance for me so the study was largely irrelevant with regards to what people like me were posting.
I did note you posted later about not being in favour of runners wearing masks, so I’m not sure what you were aiming to achieve with the previous posts? It seemed contradictory to me.
References to drug taking and calling people prats is definitely offensive, and really not necessary.
I hope I have put myself across a little better in this post! Sometimes, you just have to agree to disagree, it’s all part of being on MN and adding to the conversation. It’s all I’m going to say on the matter, so take care Lweji and maybe see you on another thread where hopefully it won’t be as hostile.
Here’s some flowers for no hard feelings!
