It has to do with what I would consider "retro thinking" as in "opposed to
modern social media."

I would agree with this, yes. It has morphed into a critique of modern
"cancel culture."

 Av> Can we please

That is a subjective request.

Noted.

 Av> would be better suited in the general chat echo than this retro chat one.

Inasmuch as it is ideologically tinged, I wpuld suggest that this topic be
verboten in fsx echoes. I would also note that I have argued against such
ideological intingement. I would also note that no such forum for politically
charged conversation exists at present.

 Av> Many thanks all.

You are welcome.

Jeff.
