Question: Comment: Do these people really need formal "training" to know that telling someone you thought about her in the shower is inappropriate?

How about telling them on their first day in Washington "Telling colleagues or staffers you find them physically attractive, asking them to have a sexual relationship with you, telling stories or jokes regarding sex, or sharing your fantasies about them or anyone else is stupid, unprofessional behavior and will not be tolerated, but may be recorded and shared with your spouse, constituents and the press. Looking for love here is the wrong place and you need to deal with personal issues and needs away from this institution. Treat everyone you encounter in these halls as you want your spouse, child or parent to be treated." It's not all that complicated, and it's sad anyone even needs to have this much explanation about appropriate conduct in a workplace.

Answer: Non-threat


Question: Comment: Well, you were the one who specifically mentioned BLM. I was following up with a question to that. Some people are incapable of recognizing what BLM is. It's not a group that says ONLY black lives matter, it's a group that says black lives matter too. Because, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be that obvious to some of the rogue police out there. Or some of the clueless citizenry.

Answer: Non-threat


Question: Comment: You clearly do not understand the life cycle of toxoplasma gondii or how people and animals become infected.

Toxoplasma gondii (Tg) can only complete its life cycle in the intestine of a member of the cat family.  Only cats.  The cat then sheds the Tg oocysts (eggs) in its feces by the tens of millions per cat.  Rats and other mammals do not shed oocysts.  Only cats.  The reason the soil, water, or plant material is contaminated with oocysts is because cats are shedding them.  There would not be environmental contamination of oocysts if cats weren't there to shed them.  Recent research indicates that cats can become reinfected and go through add'l oocyst shedding cycles.  The oocysts are very durable and can remain viable in soil or water for 18 months or more.  In dry conditions they can become aerosolized and inhaled.  Oocysts can also be spread by insects or rodents from feces to food sources.

Answer:
Non-threat
