I understand that this instruction is nothing exclusive to you; you're just trying to uphold the rules of the forum that the administrator created. However, I feel that these kind of rules are incompatible with our rights as human beings.

I consider myself to be respectful for the most part. I don't like to be hostile, confrontational or disrespectful. I think that I am respectful to those who I respect. Although, I'm not happy about this expectation for me to respect people who I don't respect. I'm not happy about this expectation for me to conceal my negative thoughts, views and beliefs towards people and topics.

Admittedly, I am a very sensitive person who takes great offense very easily. However, I don't think that this should deny people the right to be honest and open with me and express negative views towards me and about me. If you could pass my feedback onto the administrator then I would be grateful.

To repeat myself, I do like you Rai. I have respect and admiration for you. I think that you are a good, considerate, courteous, respectful and respectable individual. I'm glad to have you on this forum; my interactions with you tend to be pleasant and satisfying.

I'm feeling kinda relieved that I don't have HIV (had about 11 tests done) but I'm still very sick. I've been bad.

Get well soon!

In other news, today, I want to try to stay optimistic and positive about things instead of wallowing in my own despair and putting everyone down. I don't know...

Sounds like a lot of tests. Is that all of the tests done or are there more to come?

Well, three months have passed since my "encounter". And that's supposed to be conclusive. I've been having all sorts of crazy symptoms though. And everything points to Long Covid... I tested positive for COVID in August. Why is COVID not talked about anymore? It's still around.

I think that the media is more focused on other things. The conflicts surrounding Russia VS Ukraine, and Israel VS Gaza consumed a lot of headlines, among other news stories.

I'm feeling a mixture of annoyance and stress

For some reason one of my card payments was cancelled by the store but not by the bank so my money is currently lost

I have to wait up to two weeks apparently until the bank acknowledges the error and gives me back my money, if they do, I'm keeping all the receipts that confirm the payment didn't go through at the store just in case.

I'm kinda scared but at the same time I'm sure I'll get my money back, it'll just take a while probably, which is annoying.

Sorry everyone, just needed to vent a bit I've been really stressed lately and this was kinda the last straw. Hope everyone is having a nice week

Covid's time has come and gone it's old news now and no-one is interested in talking about it anymore.

Covid pretty much dominated the media for a long time which was understandable though it became so irritating having covid on the news 24/7 that it was a relief when Sky News briefly mentioned Prince Harry as annoying as he is these days, I liked it when Sky News changed the subject.

Sky News and other news channels should have had more stuff like this during the pandemic

Less is more and the constant 24/7 domination of the news by Covid should have been scaled back significantly.

It wasn't just the news that was dominated by Covid soap operas which I no longer watch were also dominated by Covid, one episode of Fair City an Irish soap opera which I don't watch but happened to come across while channel surfing had a very brief storyline on how to social distance.

It was disguised as an outdoor dance lesson on one of the street sets, by that stage people had gotten tired of Covid dominating everything and were understandably annoyed when Covid started cropping up in fictional TV shows.
