I feel like it's worth noting, contra several complaints by posters over the last few days, that the degree to which a post's content is political is *not* what causes something to run afoul of the Terry Rule - it's political content (of any amount or degree) unmoored by meaningful discussion of COVID-19 that runs afoul of the rule. ...
Although I'm not sure, I'm sensing that I might be one of the "posters" referenced above. If I'm wrong about that, shame on me for being so sensitive. If I'm right, though, I just wanted to clarify that none of my posts about the Terry Rule were ever meant to be complaints. I have no complaint whatsoever about the Rule. Indeed, seeing the way it is applied is a real source of amusement, which is what I've tried to capture in my comments. No complaint, though; simply an observation.
And, a Happy Fourth to all as well!
