The Bicker Board

Thereʻs way more lunatics than Punatics and Punatics have to live in Puna while lunatics live everywhere, as demonstrated daily in the news.

A Lunatic? Punatic?
What’s the difference?

Thats easy!

A Punatic would suggest an invasive, deadly venomous snake should be euthanized, whereas a Lunatic would suggest the Punatic be sacrificed.

[TomK]

one would have to be a lunatic.

OMG you say
A Lunatic? Punatic? 
What’s the difference?

Putting aside the fact that Punatang didn't say "OMG," you've now made a general statement, quite an insulting one, that everyone living in Puna is a lunatic. Well, perhaps you're speaking for yourself and just projecting. There are other possibilities, of course.

Easy to tell. The Punatic is paranoid.

Easy to tell. The Punatic is paranoid.

Wouldn't living in Puna also be required to be a Punatic?

Maybe that explains why the Punatics might be paranoid.

So here's my almost pet snake in Ohio. He has been living at my cottage for about 6 years.
I'm guessing it's a he because I don't see dozens of offspring around.

He does a good job thinning out the mice and chipmunks.

Yuck. Ohio is a good place for this pet :-)

Just a reminder, we do have a Bicker Board thread.

[punikahakaiferret]

Yes, please! Hie thee(s) to the Bicker Board!

I like to check in with Punaweb once a day or so just to see what's going on, but lately all I'm seeing is bickering in virtually every thread! I'll admit it is getting pretty tiresome...all the one-upping, tit-for-tat, and he said/he said.

I see a lot of the same hoo-ha on Nextdoor, as well, which makes it hard to get actual information or find out what is going on when everyone is trying to out-do everyone.

I suppose this is just one of myriad reasons I'm also not on Facebook, because of all the arguing.

Bleah.

Yes, sparkly shiny things have been hard to come by here. Personal attacks, stupid non-related videos and national politics disguised as Puna-related. Maybe what we need is a Bicker-free thread.
