Another POS move flying under the radar a bit

Just was over on another website reading about the situation in Louisiana. Eviction notices set to go out 10/8 for over 30,000 nursing home residents due to proposed Medicaid cuts. Effective July 1. Not a 100% done deal yet, but close to it.

Whoever reported it said it was a personal attack/flaming. When I saw the post, it did not give the name of the poster, so when the person responding called the OP "meatball," I assumed it was name-calling. Now I see that meatball actually is the poster's name, so I screwed up. If your post gets censored, it's partially my fault because I wasn't given all the information. And whoever reported it probably didn't either.

I probably would have done the same, thinking it was unnecessarily harsh. But, given that screennames can be practically anything, we were bound to run into this.

Rather funny. I think most on the jury realized that it was the OP's name.
