Well that’s certainly exactly how many comments came over, especially after some of us politely tried to inform people, who seemed to really not understand what the EU is and how it works, about the reality.
Persistent comments about how it should be done, or it could be done, or it should be tried to be done… …“because there’s a war on” seemed to perpetuate that tone.
Nobody was being shitty to anybody but some of us were exasperated with the apparent insistence that “the EU must do something NOW” in the face of the reality that its rules bind it and that it has done a fuck of a lot already.
At this point replies about “bad faith” fall on slightly deaf ears when a good number of posts have given the impression of wilfully, almost perversely, ignoring the reality and continuing with comments whose tenor was either 'they can suspend their own rules if they want to" or “we need to talk about suspending the rules” when (I assume) the rule of law is something we all here would adamantly support.
The “case” seems to have been made on both sides, so I will be trying very hard to ignore further replies here (but that’s slightly harder seeing as my post is the one at the top of the thread so I keep getting pinged every time anyone replies to anyone. I need to see how to stop that.)
