hi Du,,I'm just thinking,,

Surely a huge news day, and as time goes on, probably a historic day.

Im just thinking that maybe it is time for some DU uppers to make a special tag,topic whatever for "Epstein" just so we can choose to read,or not read? and all the while, DU wont look like a website on fire right now with all the new topics that could be condensed and other important topics could have some exposure?

Just a thought from an old guy,

click on that, then go to the trash tab. Put Epstein in the 'trash this word' box and click 'trash it'. That will at least hide threads with the word in their title.

The conspiracy theories are hilarious anyway.

I’m sure we’ve not even seen the most outrageous yet.

just wanted to see this morally repugnant abuser get his due. But the number of Epstein posts are
monopolizing the site and many threads are getting into conspiracy theories, as yet unproven.

Open a category called “most incredible development of the day” or whatever and put all Epstein
threads there.

15. P.S. Young guys' thoughts are not superior in wisdom, relevancy, or insight to old guys'--

the reverse often holds. “just an old guy’s thoughts?”

Could have signed off with “ The voice of wisdom and experience.” Take that young whippersnapper.

Or as the fiddle player in the ad said, upon finishing a spectacular riff, “That’s how ya do it, son.”

But the human in me has handled those that chose to disagree, on a pvt mssg rather than online fighting and bravado. If they choose to respond,,it is their choice, and I respect their right to their opinion. But I feel that is between that person and I , and doesn't belong on a public form. Old men also have the responsibility to teach,,not only humiliate. For lack of a better word.
