If you don't like graphs, this is not the site for you.

See this is communication. I commented that graphs are depressing. I didn't say they were not needed. Apparently you are showing me the door. Thanks, I'll be just dandy. I posted about how people act. I have a point of view as you do. You showed me the door but you didn't threaten to purge me off the site! When free speech becomes threats then anything can happen. The small part I mentioned about graphs is the least important part of my post.
PO Graphs are depressing. PO is depressing. Being threatened is depressing. And on and on!

GreyZone posted what set you off yesterday at what looks like just before he signed off, judging from the timeline of comments. You should let him respond to your response before progressing. Everybody should just relax.

LOL I see your point and I'm not exactly shaking in my shoes about him purging me. Regardless, receiving threats of any sort for posts here or any place is uncalled for and morally repugnant. You may agree or disagree with me and/or the posts I make however you must agree that direct threats like this one are out of order. So rather than explaining this yesterday I rather just have it out here in the open today!

I was wrong and promptly admitted it comes to mind. As per graphs the people here have talents yet the results get more and more depressing. Suppose decline goes over 12% then we are at or off the cliff. Surely most of us will no longer have an internet connection and will not get to see the graphs any more. This is why I want to see plans now since it is all mixed together.

Frankly I have been reading this site for much longer than I have been posting on it. I don't remember my first visit here. PO is peaking frustration since the squeeze is on all of us. If I move too far down the doomer path then the point of attending this site becomes just as meaningless is I go too far down into denial.

My future wife and I sometimes watch the news and the propaganda is thick. Why are gas prices so high? Well it's the war you see. How many doomers does it take to change a light bulb? None, since the light is to blame! I have many doom moments too!

“This order [i.e. capitalism] is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with the economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt.”
