Constantly making fools of people who are doing nothing that affects you is far worse than wearing a mask while 20 feet from someone or in a car with the windows closed. Seems to be some kind of obsession as you constantly comment on people who do that. Let them take care of themselves as long as it causes you no personal discomfort or harm.

Would that condescending attitude be considered good "bedside manners?" If the intent is to educate someone there certainly is a better way to express that knowledge in a nicer manner.

Dear Moderator,
My original response to his first post was neither political nor directed specifically at him, yet it was removed. These three posts would appear to be specifically directed at me, including the capitalized "YOU". So, is there a specific rule regarding posts or isn't there?, because I would love to respond to these posts, possibly even with a "condescending" attitude.
