Nothing happened today in Grand Forks

I am pleased to report that there is nothing newsworthy in Grand Forks that would merit any discussion here whatsoever, let alone on the Community forum.

Thank heavens the moderators are here to protect us from commentary, satire, dark humor, and anything else that might arise if, God forbid, there were anything going on in Grand Forks.

If there had been a newsworthy event, this message would be followed by insightful and perhaps even witty discussion and the free flow of ideas.

Since there is nothing going on, might as well lock this thread, too.

Censorship sucks.

Add classless and untimely to "witty" and you might be right. What's the point of dark humor? Grand Forks had a terrible thing happen today and you are making light of it. Why?

That's what the downvote function is for. Downvote me to oblivion...but for God's sakes, let there be a discussion.

Besides, when would it be "timely" to discuss current events?

Ok... remove "untimely".

 

Just classless.

Yet, the countless threads with serial, malicious, and personal attacks on UND administrators, nickname committee members, nickname advocates, etc., are just dripping with class, right?

Please forgive me for thinking the prevailing community standards on this forum are a little difficult to peg.

Yes, let there be discussion about what would possess someone to perform such an act, then what would possess a person to make light of it.

Discussion of what happened this morning at Walmart in Grand Forks is timely and worthy of a thread in this forum. 

 

Making light of the situation, when family members probably haven't been notified yet, much less have any idea of the circumstances, is untimely at best.

You're seriously comparing people jawing about administrators and committee members to a double murder.

They're public figures open to public scrutiny. 

 

And they're not murdered.

The comparison of those two things by NIMH is just incredible. Zero perspective.

WHY ARE WE ARGUING ABOUT THIS??? Two people were shot and killed in a town we all revere.  My thoughts and prayers are with you, Grand Forks. Sad, sad stuff.

Pretty much some of the lowest classless POS thing to start a thred with, and then another thread to complain about it?

If you cant see that this was below a community standards level, I believe the site really would and should be better off to remove you from it.

It wasn't the topic, it was how you posted it.  And what you used to post it.  This story is not the proper forum to discuss your dislike of Wal-Mart.

 100% agree.  The Walmart employee that was killed is my uncle.

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family along with all others affected by this tragedy. Don't understand what goes through these peoples heads and their need to hurt others.
