Those include (unless specifically relevant based on my judgment), but are not limited to: Bill Clinton, Biden, underage girls, violating consent. I’m including climate change too, just because.

I thought you weren’t speaking for **JC**? 😉

I didn’t read the lead-up, but your response seems reasonable.

I guess the main issue is why the moderator in question took the time to weigh in, but not to actually explain what the hell he wanted from the participants.

At the bottom of page 10, post #500, I wrote this:

Can we agree to drop it?

(emphasis added)

I assume JC’s mod note was in reference to that, and perhaps he hadn’t seen the posts on page #11 yet, but he can weigh in here and clarify if he feels so inclined
