Spellchecked edit to my recent comment
There are significant differences between the JMT-relationship of the post that started this thread vs. calling COVID the "China virus" a post here without any need to use the very charged word.
You would have to be clueless to not understand that "China virus" is a polemical, partisan intrusion of political identity inserted into a JMT related discussion about permit frustration.
Please stop.
BTW I was the owner of the Yahoo group for over 10 years before its migration here and remain one of the owners. We have developed over the years a particular aversion to the insertion of the political issues into the group. We have deleted comments that stray into politics both in the liberal and conservative direction and will continue to do so. Members who repeatedly flout those rules risk being banned from the group. Thee three Facebook groups on the JMT have the same policy. Maybe you can try Reddit. I understand there is a JMT forum there that maybe has a more permissive attitude.
We also have Chinese-American and Chinese members here that might well have left the group if we did not take a position as your moderators on this.
