I remember when and why "The Bar" was created. It was designed to separate personal opinions and beliefs about politics, religion, sports, any current event, or just about anything unrelated to "Keyboard" Forum discussions.

The Bar was, and still is, a great idea. And yes, I agree, the pandemic has many on edge, and it may be a factor in how people relate. It's possible, Covid 19 brought out true feelings in some people, and others were offended by those feelings.

We can only hope that a vaccine for the virus will be discovered soon, to help heal, and if not too late, get back to "normal".
