Agreed, hence why Eagle-Eye is a hypocrite. He rewards his friends and bans people who disagree with them. That's very lame.

You banned me, but I do not think you will find a fair minded and reasonable person who will say I engage in flame wars, indulge in vile language, or relentlessly pursue petty grudges

You only confirm I did the right thing. Talk about flying off the handle you just had to make a copycat thread so you could whine.

Looks like an interesting course. I've read/heard about both Boudicca and Hypatia, but didn't recall Perpetua so I Googled her. Interesting times and much in line with Professor Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's paper, later book "Well-behaved women seldom make history".

Famed quote
In a 1976 scholarly article about little-studied Puritan funeral services, Ulrich included the phrase "well-behaved women seldom make history."[9][10] The phrase was picked up and soon went viral, being widely quoted and printed across the country. It continues to be seen on greeting cards, T-shirts, mugs, plaques, and bumper stickers. She recounted how her now-famous quote has taken on a life of its own in an October 2007 interview: "It was a weird escape into popular culture. I got constant e-mails about it, and I thought it was humorous. Then I started looking at where it was coming from. Once I turned up as a character in a novel—and a tennis star from India wore the T-shirt at Wimbledon. It seemed like a teaching moment—and so I wrote a book using the title."[11] Well-Behaved Women examines the ways in which women shaped history, citing examples from the lives of Rosa Parks, Christine de Pizan, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Tubman, and Virginia Woolf.

Only three RWers on that ban list. Hmm.
I wonder what happened to Nordberg? Haven't seen him post for a long time.
Thanks.
As to Perpetua, it takes a remarkable amount of courage to accept death rather than renounce one's faith, and it is striking because her memoirs are one of the only surving texts from antiquity written by a female.

It's Eagle-Eye's option to ban whomever he likes regardless of how lame the reasoning. I simply pointed out the hypocrisy of saying "Any subject is permissible but no flame wars will be tolerated" then only banning those with whom he disagrees and not those who constantly flame and attack others.

One of my step-grandkids was to be married in June. That's going to be put off. Not sure if they'll just do the wedding and have the reception later or not.

Very unlikely. Trump is obviously worried about the economy vis-à-vis the election, but if he pushes everyone to go back to work, the nation could see a huge spike in deaths by November. This won't be over until a cure and/or a vaccine is developed.
It appears a recent chloroquine study was halted after concerns of a fatality. FWIW, I think the drug has strong potential, but more testing needs to be done before wide distribution.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/12/health/chloroquine-coronavirus-trump.html
A small study in Brazil was halted early for safety reasons after coronavirus patients taking a higher dose of chloroquine developed irregular heart rates that increased their risk of a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ad-about-hydroxychloroquine-its-consequences/
Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for covid-19 are not yet backed by reliable scientific evidence. In a pandemic, it’s important for everyone to follow the lead of scientists. Rumors on the Internet are the least reliable source of information. And politicians are not qualified to provide scientific advice, despite even the best intentions.
In particular, Trump’s incorrect comments on the drugs and his role in advocating for their use, based on minimal and flimsy evidence, sets a bad example. His advocacy for this unproven treatment provides potentially false hope and has led to shortages for people who rely on the drugs. The president earns Four Pinocchios.

Which brings up a thought I had earlier when you first brought this up: Why are western women put into second class status? I think Christianity had something to do with it, at least parts of it. Pope Gregory the Great turned Mary Magdalene into a whore. The Bible even puts women second to men, specifically 1 Corinthians 11:3:
3 But I want you to understand that Christ is the ahead of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
Genesis kicks it off by having God create man first and woman from man even though biology proves females came first. In fact, we all start out as females until about six weeks when, if a Y chromosome exists, the ovaries turn into testes and start dropping, the clitoris turns into a penis and the vagina closes up. All males are modified females. Same with bees, ants and all other mammals.

I do not think one can separate religion from culture. All cultures of antiquity treated women as second class at best, domestic slaves at worst. The culture of antiquity obviously permeates Christianity...
However, I believe most scholars will maintain that Christianity and Islam were modest, if nominal, improvements in the status of women over the pagan traditions of Rome and Arabia. Christianity has important female Saints and martyrs. Pagan Rome and Arabia almost never gave any status or influence to women.
The most important human in the Eastern Orthodox tradition is Mary Mother of God. When the Ottoman Turks were at the walls of Constantinople, the residents brought Icons of Mary to the walls for protection

What about Boudicca, Queen of the Celts? The Amazonians? While I agree most western civilizations were patriarchal, not all were. As the link below notes, it's not just western civilizations either.

True life isn't fair or even, but some people are more fair and even than others. Some just whine and back-stab others because they are weak, lame and cowardly. Sad for them.
Case in point:
What we are seeing is the beginnings of the EEDS. Some poor souls are obsessing over my actions.

Translation: I'm a bigoted coward who only likes to see what I agree with and hide from anyone with whom I disagree.
I think most people understand this about you. FWIW, as this thread proves, you are free to have your little secret boys club thread. That doesn't stop others from openly confronting you with dissenting facts, starting their own threads or calling you out for being lame.
Have a really nice day!

Why do you insist on projecting your failings on others? We can continue to play NIGYYSOB or you can get into a real discussion of the issues that doesn't involve blaming Trump for everything. I realize you are at a disadvantage without Owl backing you up. But do you have the balls to go one on one?
