Can we just close this thread altogether
Nah...
If you just dip your toes in and read the most recent page... yes - it can look like a hot mess at times. I also wouldn't recommend reading it from start to finish. The thread is very 'of its time'.... so the re-read value is not high if you want to learn how to debur soft stainless steels
For those of us who have participated since @LostHighway started it almost a year ago, there is value in this thread. We all live in our bubbles. Personally I have learned different cultural and political perspectives from this thread. I have participated in some debates throughout this thread (some heated) and I think I have grown from them.
it’s just insults and garbage at this point
Given the potential for political and ideological bickering, this thread risked going seriously off the rails. The moderators have been lenient. I am grateful for that. Equivalently.... the thread has actually been pretty civil... (if you think about alternate directions it could take). But yes; fair point.... in any thread... best keep insults out of KKF.
Finally.... COVID aint over. Yes; we're mostly living like it is 2019. But the virus has not disappeared. It is still killing large numbers of people. In fact... Australia has gone to the dogs. Our numbers are worse than 2020 (and also look bad compared to our peers)... So the topic is still relevant....
