La Loche shooting victims: 4 lives cut short.

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/la-loche-shooting-victims-4-195200835.html

" Two educators who had just begun their careers and two teenagers who had their lives ahead of them were gunned down Friday in La Loche, Sask., where a 17-year-old is in custody facing four charges of first-degree murder."

woodbuck27:

Who or what may explain such madness !? This horrific stuff seems all the more prevalent in our society in these days when it should be obvious we all simply need to muster some compassion, caring ....a better sense of love for one another... PEACE and HARMONY.

As a member here I reach out for some help in understandin such terrible behaviour. I 'm at a loss as to what to do except as I've done in this thread ...inform y'all.

My name is Ed......I'm a friend

Why do you change your font so that it takes a fucking microscope to read the fucking thing? Sweet fucking Christ stop fucking with the font like you're some grade school kid trying to impress his one titted teacher

Increase your font size ........if if if if if needed.

It's a simple puter operation.

Good Luck !

We have emergency plans in place.

Does it have an impact on me? No. Needle in a hay stack in terms of when or where it happens. No different if you worked in a bank or a fast food restaurant or a gas station.

We don't discuss it as a staff, but like I said we just had a PD spent on it.

I don't have any windows. The nice thing is that we have doors made of real solid wood, and only a very small window. Once locked and against a wall facing away from the window we all are pretty safe. I guess I would still throw some desks or whatever in front of the door.

Ohh Boy...Your in need of some attention Deputy:

Your obvious frustration is a concern to me. I desire the promotion of good will amongst the general membership here. I'm a TEAM PLAY. I'm after a decade and observing you certainly aware of your sensitivity's.

I know my boundaries and YOU. All the same....... I desire to help and reach a compromise.

I post with the size and style of font and use color as part of my personality Deputy. It's not designed to shake up your possibly over sensitive world. It's merely a style of posting. . . . woodbuck27's style. ALL MINE !

Aiming or endeavouring a win win situation.....and most often in reality and otherwise known as compromise. :idea:

As a leader who always searches for ' the BEST '. I discovered a certain approach and any conflict or issue of concern between parties. Maybe simply try this out Deputy:

If that style of posting I use in terms of font size and or color of text disturbs you. I've a suggestion that takes mere seconds to compensate for your needs (your obvious sensitivity) and any of my posts:. Copy and paste any of my posts on say ...... ie try Microsoft Note Pad or I find this better try Word Pad

Personally Deputy....I like Microsoft's Word Pad' as a higher functioning writing tool.

Your now likely and already aware of these tools yet sometimes we neglect the advantages of all we have.
Otherwise I feel a concern for you:

Ohh Yea....your demeanor and the post I'm responding to:

PLEASE. .calm down. A a teacher you must have been taught never to call anyone out as stupid. Do you get like that normally Deputy. Ask yourself that ?

Respond according to yourself. Otherwise I've got alligator skin and 'YOU' Deputy.


I'm grateful after seeing you post over a decade that you .......'only' exist here and me.
Try to be constructive without demeaning and name calling. That's posting in a certain poor taste Deputy.

After all ..........your a Teacher in and I assume this much....a Public School System.

A good Teacher NEVER loses control man.

So we actually receive training on all this now, which I find fascinating and without going all Wist on ya I just find it all fascinating! They basically tell you that if you try to run and hide you are asking to die. They want everyone to fight back if cornered instead of hiding under tables or desks. Playing dead also doesn't work as the killer at Va Tech was pumping laying bodies full of lead.

Woody,

The forum software is a bit dated and none of the formatting is in relative units or responsive to individual browser settings. Setting your font size to 1 sets the font to 8pt. Most browsers have a default font size equivalent to size 3 which is why our unformated posts are in a larger typeface. Combined with the Christmas colors against a white background and increased number of people viewing on phones, you should know that Nutz's experience is the norm. We could all crank the zoom on our browsers like you have, but we're not going to.

The lone upside of your unreadable microfont is it makes scrolling to the next post much easier.

I actually got reprimanded for three years in a row at my institution for arguing that I wasn't going to run or hide, I was going to confront. "Oh, no, that is the worst thing you can do Mraynrand!" Answer the question correctly, or you won't pass your 'active shooter' test. I did not answer correctly. Last year they changed the answers and now allow confrontation, but caution only to do so if running and hiding are ineffective. I think the instructors didn't like my idea of throwing a bottle of concentrated glacial acetic acid at an active shooter either, to be honest. Probably because then it would not be properly housed in a leak-proof secondary container and we would be reprimanded by OSHA - if we survived the multiple head shots, that is.

Sorry, no. OSHA requires filling out six forms to acquire a file and another six for a metal cutting blade. Plus the required dual biometric lock on the equipment safe would use up half my grant.

I generally use Green (Packers) and what looks like magenta (purplish red) out of respect for all Packerrats that hate the Vikings LOL I try to avoid the use of purple ..I do use it on occasion. I more readily in a choice of purple or blue. . . . . chose blue

A) Copy and pasted.....standard Font .... Black:

Woody and Bolded : Woody


B) Copy and pasted.....Font size 1 ..... Color Green:

Woody and Bolded : Woody


C) Copy and pasted.....Font size 2 ......Color Magenta :

E) Copy and pasted..... Font size 4...... Color ..... Green:

No.... Read as in readability. or Which size fonts are difficult to read and RE: The Forums Software as per 3Dirty1's Post to me: at Post No. 14 of this thread.

HowadRoark:

I don't need any of your piling on BS and this matter. Your nothing generally in my view ...that's NOT TROUBLE.

Confusing....HowardRoark?

Your a lot like mraynrand and Skinbasket with little to add that's meaningful to me and this matter. Do you fellas have meetings wearing white hoods in some rather remote setting well after dark and in the presence of 'burning cross's?

I'm doing my utmost to understand and remedy this issue. I'll get there faster without you running your normal BS interference. Got it Mister !?:idea:

Have . You . Got . It . Got . it !?........HowardRoark?

If NOT...I'll cut to the chase:

Butt out please... How does that read. Can you comprehend this?


I don't want a response from you Thanks HowardRoark.


Now to the matter of the Issue:



3Dirty1 if you may: Which of the following reads OK Thanks


Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water... normal



A) Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water...Size 1



B) Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water...Size 2

It often gets hijacked.

I feel badly that you judge my posts as .....disjointed. It's OK...I accept your criticism.

I put a lot into my efforts here at Packerrats.

I try to make a positive contribution to my Green Bay Packer home. I don't endeavor to please everyone.

That would be extremely frustrating, LOL. :cnf:

Dear Deputy 'Teacher-Teacher' Nutz:

Can you see the test RE: is it large enough or to large or too small to suit you?

Size = 1 ... and the Color... Unofficially... 'Green Bay Packer' GREEN.



HowardRoark: Your response. . . . . . I certainly appreciate your candor. Thanks !

Now that post is good...as a Maritimer and a Irish Canadian.....it's content is something I can well appreciate. I truly appreciate intelligent humor. Maybe your post.... contains too much information and that at a future cost to you HowardRoark. Ahh shit....no sense in any attempt at a warning and 'the GROUP' all black errrr Dark) all CAPs.

Humour.

One... may laugh or cry. I laugh at you fellas a lot. There might even be something of REAL Help in your post. Nah ! Why?

I seldom use size 3.



Your post begs for more of a response:

'll toss this out there so I may inform others (without any real fascination 'of course) of my knowledge and 'limited' association with Clan members; and if I may be so bold.:

I'm wondering HowardRoark....Doesn't the Clan abide by any secrecy rules? Do you fellas hang your own?

So..... the Clan is well and active in your locale. That's too sad yet understandable in these days and times. Anything pretty much fricked up and totally wrong to backwards today hit's the mark.....plays. Strength to all of us that use it to inform and grow.

I don't get why you have to mess with the font in the first place.

When you shrink the font and then add a bunch of colors to it, it makes your thoughts really hard to read.

As a teacher, if a student handed me a paper with multiple font sizes and colors I would be disappointed in their efforts.

How does this post look to you teacher?

OK I'll be more cognizant of your advice and me and one font size...and color. To remain in that as a constant might not meet my needs to illustrate and inform.

I have an artistic mind Deputy. I've never been what anyone might describe as ordinary.

I can do both ... low and high profile depended on the need or advantage in any of my palate of pursuits.

I'm a poet. I have a good sense of humour and laugh best at myself. I don't always take myself too seriously as I'm always learning. I thirst for more knowledge. :-)

By the way...I've been published and received meritous credit for my writing skills at the University level.

I write as poorly as my neglect to edit. On those occasions when I do neglect to do so. I feel I should have done better. I try to clean up.

If this was a class room I'd certainly comply with what you as the teacher asked of me. That withstanding I certainly want most of what I write to be more or less valued; without the naivety and expected non-prejudice. I'm a Canuck on an American Football forum. I'll have to s deal with all sorts and manners of general misfits in what I might deem as hopefully...... a co-operative easy going laissez faire setting.

Again........Deputy... How does this post look to you teacher?
