Thanks for lifting the level of the conversation, as always. My hope is that one day you’ll look back at your posts and realize ‘geez what a total ####### I was during all of that’. Your childish responses are just plain tired now.

I have never blocked a poster. I am close. I can take great arguments from intelligent people with information that helps build a case but asinine statements with no base is where I draw the line. You do this consistently. Bring some information.

No mods down here except for truly egregious things. Use the ignore feature, it helps.

We don't need or want moderators here. If everybody ignored his sorry ass and just didn't respond he would eventually give up and go away. His only purpose is to suck people into responding to him and then sowing stupid arguments thus keeping people from having meaningful discussion.

Thanks, and you’re of course correct. But just like back in class, is there no place for the teacher to tell the kid in the back row to shut the $&@@ up, or send someone out in the hallway? Others are trying to have a discussion.

That’s the ignore feature. Pretty simple!

The ignore feature. When you use it, check all the boxes so you do not see their replies in quotes. You always have the option of seeing one post from the person on ignore, and of course, you can remove someone from your ignore list at any time.

Other than accepting moderation our only options are a firm ignore or a soft ignore. Either way will work but it'll take time, plus everyone needs to do it.

He is proud of the fact that people put him on ignore. That says a lot about why he’s here. And if that’s the main reason he is here I have no idea why he’s allowed to continue. Sure there is very little moderating here but maybe we should advocate for change. It does ruin the forum for those trying to have an adult conversations.

But when you put someone on ignore, you should probably ignore them. Something you haven’t figured out how to do yet apparently! ?

  Not effective when trolls open new accounts everyday and sometimes more than that.  I used to go on IMDb when it had a comments section and there were trolls opening new accounts every hour.  The trolling pushes worthwhile dialogue only a few hours old a page or two back making it more cumbersome.  The mods need to do their jobs as online janitors and clean up the trash.  Don't hold your breath though.  A couple of generations of far left thinking combined with a couple of generations of Saturday Night Live culture confuses the problem for some.
