Will you continue to wear a mask?

[Bazoo23]

I absolutely will NOT.

I'm counting the days until I can ditch the horrible things.

I notice you have said mask haters. Instead of non mask wearers.

There are plenty of people on this thread who have said they wear masks but hate it. Are we regressing back to last summer when it wasnt enough to just wear a mask, you had to love and worship it too. This policing of peoples feelings is getting very sinister.

I appreciate the difference. I don't think anyone likes wearing masks, Mercy, and, no, you don't have to both wear it and love it too. That's a weird notion. When I say "mask haters", I mean those that call them "face nappies" or "muzzles" or say that the Government is using them as a means of control. I'm not meaning those that cannot wear masks for a medical reason.

I'm not going to dredge up every one of your posts.

Hahaha.

Maybe the lesson to take away from this is that next time you insult somebody about their ‘posting history’, you should check on that posting history first?

Routinely, no. But regular hand sanitising and mask wearing is something I might do in crowded places in the future eg. the supermarket, shopping centres, queuing at the bank, if on public transport etc. I can see the benefits.

In crowded public places I would and also medical appointments. Unless the cases have dwindled to next to nothing by some stage!

I didn't need to check your history - I don't AS people anyway. I just have a good memory. I know people sometimes say that they don't notice the names of posters, but I always have - probably because I I love language, so all the puns and play on words interest me. Along with that, I remember what posters say, in a general sense, too.

It's very 1984ish. The mask lovers come across as almost fanatical in their need to challenge anyone who doesn't wholeheartedly love wearing a mask. Wear a mask if you want to, but when it is no longer a legal requirement, leave others who don't want to wear one alone and don't impose your fears on others. They have as much right to choose with regards to their body autonomy as mask wearers.

I didn't need to check your history - I don't AS people anyway. I just have a good memory

Oh yes. Such a good memory that you ‘remember’ me saying things I’ve never once said. And that you now can’t find any evidence of me saying, because I didn’t say them.

But you know that.

Honestly, is it that hard to say “oops, I was wrong”? Maybe “sorry”?

I don't know why you're clinging to this as you have been a Covid minimiser from way back. No, I'm not going to apologise. You're the one flinging insults at me.

as you have been a Covid minimiser from way back.

You are either delusional or lying.

If I had indeed been ‘a Covid minimiser’ you’d have been able to show plenty of evidence of that. Or any evidence, any at all. You haven’t, because you can’t find any, because it doesn’t exist.

My theory: you don’t really read or engage with what people are saying. You classify them into ‘with me’ or ‘against me’ groups based on how their posts made you feel. And because you felt negatively about something I’ve said somewhere, you don’t even remember or care what it was I said - what you remember is that you didn’t like it, so I must be a bad person.

Like I said this is a totally poisonous and pointless way to have any conversation, and I have no idea why you’d want to do it. (But you won’t be able to tell me, because you won’t engage with anything I’m saying here - you’ll just reply with some sneery yet vague thing about how you feel about me, lacking in any evidence of anything I’ve ever said or done.)

Yes. I like keeping my face hidden.

You're the one flinging insults at me.

Prime example here. I haven’t flung any insults at you. You feel insulted because I am disagreeing with you. And as far as you’re concerned “I feel insulted” is the same thing as “you are flinging insults at me.”

So your post above doesn't insult me at all?

You are either delusional or lying.

That's fairly insulting.
No. I'm wary of bring up evidence as that's likely to result in a ban - and you know it.
I think we can safely move on now.

I'm wary of bring up evidence as that's likely to result in a ban - and you know it.

There is zero chance that you would get banned for quoting one of my posts. Come on, now. You don’t even believe that yourself.

Again, I really recommend being able to admit you’re wrong sometimes. It’s very liberating and useful. I have been wrong about all sorts of things! (Calling masks face nappies and muzzles was not among them though since I’ve never done that.)

Yes, it's a pretty minor inconvenience to me.

No, smudges my make up and I love wearing lipstick.

Masks make me look ugly I’m prettier without one.

Nope only if I have to at work but they will all be binned if not. Had enough of them now specially wearing one for 13 hour shifts.
