Re: Will this place take over from Boards?

It's my unpalatable opinion that the management of "the other side" are dealing with the serious issues with a very similar mindset of how the state broadcaster, RTÉ is dealing with their ongoing crisis. Not a great way to proceed for either entity.

Re: Will this place take over from Boards?

The other pattern manifesting on boards again is threads being started on a contentious topic. The thread generally does not go the OP's way. And then some randomer apparently posts in the thread about the poor OP being bullied and slated rightly for their view:ah would ya leave the poor fella alone...

Defrocked Theodore McCarrick charged for sexual assault and battery of 16 yo boy in 1970s

All that now is needed is a conviction. Hopefully he'll die in Prison at least. He won't be put in with the general prison population because of his age. But watching YouTube vids, prison in US in some states can be quite a manky place, for older men suffering with dementia and disabilities. Ah well...
