Yes, it was definitely childish and unfair of me, and not based on any hard facts. Sorry to you. My aerospace industry tech pal said it to me and I put it together with the probably 12 or so I knew at the university library where I used to work. Two were among my best friends for years.
Sorry for the cheap shots.
Here is my apology which you probably didn’t see:

I’m a tech person who was never liberal.

I didn’t intend offense but was being childish (so what else is new?)
Work in IT....
Don’t do anything to ruin your life there. Quietly survive and help behind enemy lines. Hope more are secretly good people like you who can’t come forward.

True. Good point.
Yep. I work on IT and am surrounded by libs. Hopefully retiring end of January.
God bless and keep you. Don't open your mouth until you escape from Leftist Land at work.
I think I've had more comments on my uncharitable cheap shot comments on leftist IT types than on any other post. Had to patch up relationships with more than one here. Again, sorry for any hurt by my statements.

Send me lots of your money.

Not on my version of google.
It’s a good thing that Oregon has a Rat Party Governor and Attorney General...otherwise this arsonist might be in serious trouble.
