Why not practice the skill of "leave it be" or "this person isn't worth the bother"? There's no ignore button at Wal-mart, a restaurant or a city park. Why would you need one on a message board? I think just glancing over bad posts with no reply is a better exercise in self-control.

It's just another form of censorship for the weak. One thing I can say is that in 14 years of being on message boards I've NOT ONCE stooped to an ignore list.

It's just another way of trying to control people.

I'm pretty tolerant of most peoples opinions even if i don't agree.
But I've blocked 3 people over my time here. All for the same reason. I give people plenty of time and often talk to them at 1st. But after awhile, if it seems to get to the point where 60% or more of the time they are somehow getting sick pleasure out of making negative stupid comments that I take as offensive, why should i even skim over them?
There's not going be any NEW racial slurs i need to read, just the same ignorant ol crap spewed out for the past several hundred years.

If you're in wal-mart or a restaurant most people don't make loud obnoxious comments every time you're there plus you can leave. and you're not there everyday. It's a voluntary group of folks here, not sure how many of you log in daily just to read text of people who offend you personally nearly every time comment. Blocking allows me to read the others comments without useless distractions.

And I'll re-state what I said before ... it's the act of a wimp.

The fact is, the commie who has me on ignore can't handle the truth. And what do commie's do when they can't handle the truth? They censor you. If you ain'[t got the balls to back your own words, don't post them.

Hell, at least I'll go down with my ship and my Marines. This wuss wants nothing but one-sided arguments and censors anyone that tell him he and his President are fuck-ups and commies ... dinosaurs left over from the 50's.

We got a 1-on-1 forum. Put him in there with me. Hell, I won"t even call him the communist SOB he is. In THAT subforum.

Your KGB President doesn't care who he kills for an oil pipeline that isn't his.

Now bring it. And be advised: I've pissed off the owner of this board and his second in command, half the members and half the staff. If you think for a second I'll back off your commie ass, ask around.

To tell the truth, if the ignore function use provides a member with a better experience, they'd be a fool not to use it.

Sometimes "manliness" refers to not having to deal with another person. If someone can't get in a response to your ranting, it proves you are more "manly."

I agree to a point Gunny, when it becomes a issue that is disrupting ever thread than one or both of the parties should use the ignore button, I myself just ignore certain folks but if you can't, than use the button, it is there for everyone and for everyone's benefit.

I've been sorely tempted to put a couple of people on 'ignore' while I've been here (John V tempted me the most, even if he was a fellow Brit !).

But I've never once done it, and I'm sure I never will .. because to me, giving in to that temptation would feel like a personal failure. Dealing with whatever DP has to offer, no matter what that is, is the only reasonable way to approach it. Creating a personally censored DP is tantamount to rejecting what the forum is all about, in my opinion.

What ever floats your boat, as I said I have never put anyone on ignore and back a few years ago I should have, it is stupid to fight non stop in each thread posted, but as of late if I see someone post something ( personally attack say ) I feel for that person, because if that person has to be a tough guy behind a monitor, well it must be a real sad life for them.

EXACTLY....if a "BOSS" or "COMMANDING OFFICER" or "TEACHER" has to continually remind their employees, troops/sailors or students that they are, indeed, the boss, CO or teacher....it is truly a sad reminder to us all that they are not (or at least not deserving of said titles).

Good analogy from one of the new, annoying members. If I'm at a red light, enjoying the day, and some punk rolls up beside me listening to the boom, boom, boom CRAP. I'm gonna roll my window up instead of sitting there like some spineless liberal acting as though "I" am tolerant, fair and balanced or actually like the CRAP or as if it isn't bothering me.

Rev. hit it right and I'm personally gonna cut down on the scroll time and wish folks would stop replying to CRAP or at least stop quoting them (which makes the CRAP I've personally banned appear anyway). Ben Franklin or Crockett are worth quoting....not the CRAP on the board.

As another member put it.....perhaps logging off is the best option and I'll gladly do that if "IGNORE" bothers some or before I put up with the likes of an ARBO (a real boring oaf), jaFART or someone talking about how they knifed 100 enemy combatants in an hour's time. HA!!!! That $#!T is not worth my time and if you make my personal ban, you've earned it by spouting off $#!T. I may, from time to time, remove certain folks from a personal ban or "IGNORE" but usually, it is a permanent ban. it beats all the scrolling past them to some degree and could possible keep me from being banned.


If the board's good health is better served by using the provided IGNORE button, I'm all for it. I just wish it ignored posts where others have quoted the scum of the board. By the way, a few liberals have retained enough level of respect that I could never see placing them on an IGNORE list but if ever they stoop to the level of AGNOSTIC, ARBO or others who have earned the IGNORE button, I'll gladly, without hesitation, use it.

I still don't understand why Robert A. Whit got banned. Jim even told us he noticed the "Mr. Magoo" aspect of Robert. I still don't think he infuriated people on purpose.

Yes, he did, and he's done so at quite a few other boards and found himself on the outside looking in. Magoo is ok when he's not breaking rules. Magoo was forgiven a few dozen times. But we aren't going to sit back and let someone continually break/flaunt the rules. And as far as "on purpose", not only did he say some nasty things in posts to staff and other members, he also did so via PM. I assure you 300% that he was given every chance imaginable and that his eventual ban was more than deserved.

Some people can't handle the truth so they overreact and end up being temp-banned, thread banned or perm-banned. For them, the ignore function is a better option.

OTOH, I am like you. I just ignore the idiots and skip their posts.

jimnyc
06-10-2015, 08:27 AM
Yes, and it is exactly what Jim has repeatedly asked people to do here.

Very rarely will one person back off an use the ignore button while feuding with another member. 99 out of 100 times it's BOTH members feuding with one another. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have told members "leave it be when someone gets out of line, if it's only one person, then I will handle it. But as soon as you hit back, now it's a feud amongst 2 members, regardless of who started it" And then they go back and forth, and then both members expect me to take some sort of action against the other member, while both are guilty.

If someone REALLY has a problem with another, and doesn't want to see that person, and doesn't engage that person - then using the ignore button is a few second option, your issue goes away and you're back to normal.

But hell, I don't even care if folks hate one another and refuse to use this function. But then just don't come to me demanding action, and please don't ruin threads, and please take fights to the cage.

And then yet others will demand I go heavy handed and just ban anyone who refuses the ignore button and then slightly fights or gets out of line.

Members choose a lot of their own destiny. And of course when they make their bed, they will also be the first to complain about the board as a whole and how their "destiny" sucks. Well, YOU made it, and YOU could have made the majority of crap you're facing disappear.

The only downfall is what Red alluded to, that even on ignore you can still see some stuff, when others quote the person you have on ignore. It's not a perfect system. But hell, you may see a post or two per day from this person. If they were worthy enough to put on your ignore, you can't just bypass a few posts in addition to that?

^^ All the above is speaking in general, based on many, many users over 12 years, so please don't anyone think I'm poking at them.

That's a good summation Jim.
the ignore function is a good tool to minimize one or 2 people.

But if practically the whole board is after you, then what happens is the individual just leaves.

Gabby has put up with sporadic LOADS of crap from many over the time i've been here.
I don't think Arbo(sp?) ever flamed or attacked anyone but he was hit pretty hard by lots of folks regularly if i remember. Maybe i'm thinking of another Muslim guy. but i can't think of one of the muslims that have visited here being rude. A few real liberals fired off a few shots right after walking in the door, but it's sad to see the "mob" hit on visitors with a lot of ridiculous personal attacks on their intelligence, morality, religion, citizenship, patriotism etc...
maybe i'm not in sync with what people expect to do and hear on political board.

Anther use is in the time it saves . When time is short, make the most out of it by cutting out the blather from a person that has no clue or only exists to try to rile you up. Methinks my 3 years of not using it for a certain poster then finally using it to save time was the right choice.

I honestly don't see the whole board doing such things. I don't want to use names, but we have quite a few members not involved in such stuff, and I think a small handful that might rush to judgment. But trust me, I know what you're saying.


Gabby has put up with sporadic LOADS of crap from many over the time i've been here.

Tis true, and she's another member that refuses to use the ignore button AND she gives as good as she gets. If she ignored like 5 people she would be golden. I won't highlight some of the gems written over many years by her as well. The writing goes both ways, as does the ignore button. Most people earn what they get. Don't earn it, and place the few on ignore... It's not the ENTIRE board nagging her. I've seen quite a few threads supporting her even.


I don't think Arbo(sp?) ever flamed or attacked anyone but he was hit pretty hard by lots of folks regularly if i remember. Maybe i'm thinking of another Muslim guy.

Arbo was mostly a troll and was not Muslim, you may be confused. The only Muslim I recall was Jafar.

I don't recall a Muslim being a troll/rude either, at least not directly.

I've seen folks from either side come in with guns loaded and start trouble. I've seen members, as you point out, get bombarded not long after arriving. But I still say, it's by a small handful, not the majority here. Perhaps others don't chime in, or aren't logged in, but it's far from the majority somehow attacking all new arrivals here. But of course, even a minority can scare off new members, sadly.

Of course the personal stuff will be the things you point out, as that's the kind of things we mostly discuss here. Granted, there are different ways, kinder ways, of pointing out and discussing. But go take a peek at USMB, or really ANY political board out there - and sadly they are all the same. I can PM you links if you like, of the top boards out there, and you won't see much of a difference. IMO - if you look at other places - the chaos is MUCH MUCH less here, and we moderate much much less here. Some say lower moderation leads to chaos, but I really don't see that here like I do at other places.

But you will NEVER find a political board without fighting and trolls, unless it's a very heavy handed operation that tosses anyone that remotely gets angry and speaks out - akin to DU.

This is a very bold statement. To say so, a person must be a possessor of the ultimate truth. Can anyone boast of such a knowledge? http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/smile3.gif

I don't think that the objective truth exists. We are able to speak about this or that approximation to the TRUTH. And this is a matter of philosophic approach. In politics a lot depends of the angle of observation, criteria of estimation applied, tasks and interests. IMHO.

There is always one truth on any subject man can think of. The question is can we find it or even see it when it is presented.
One truth invades ALL, all space, all time, all dimensions and that truth is God the Father of Christ the Savior.

This is true from the position of the idealistic philosophical concept where the World with its laws exists only in our personal feelings and consciousness. But the World existed before our personal birth and will remain after physical depth of our bodies.

To tell the truth, if the ignore function use provides a member with a better experience, they'd be a fool not to use it.

Use it or not, it has absolutely nada to do with manliness.

Nope, not manliness. Says a LOT about self-discipline though. And I'll admit mine slips. Certain people just piss me the f- off. But ... none are on ignore. I ran 2 different boards for a total of around 9 years and I'd have to get you to explain to me how to even use the ignore function.

The fact is, the ignore function is just a cop-out. You (the ubiquitous "you") can't back your own argument. It's just another way of running away.

There is always one truth on any subject man can think of. The question is can we find it or even see it when it is presented.
One truth invades ALL, all space, all time, all dimensions and that truth is God the Father of Christ the Savior.
Tis why the liberals advance their stupid million shades of gray philosophy . It if believed denies truth and aids the darkness that mankind lives in if not under the light of Christianity. -Tyr

Jafar had many here fooled but not me--not for one minute. I knew if he was pushed long enough he'd break his own cover and thats exactly what happened. He couldn't help himself--showed his true colors then the jig was up and he knew it. Tis why he vacated the premises all on his on. He was here to propagandize--its a form of jihad that they use.

I've seen others use the same silly argument as if the enemy being a lousy shot is sufficient reason not to shoot back.


I do recall one story from WWII about a Japanese fighter who would drop a bomb every day be never hit anything. The Marines on the island didn't want to shoot him down because the Japanese might replace him with a more competent pilot. I suspect the story is apocryphal. :)

He sure did. He stated outright that current bombs were likely from past transgressions... and this was when I showed him pictures of Palestinians sitting in chairs cheering, as if it were a fireworks show. He outright condoned such actions, and stated that the cheering was also probably based on prior actions from Israel.

I know him on FB and on at least 3 other forums besides this one. And whether you like opinions or not - it was rather odd that he bailed right after the things he swore by were busted and showed that Palestinians/Hamas were lying, and the aggressors in situations he said they weren't.

You don't need to like or dislike someone's opinion in order to see facts that relate to right wrong. If Jafar says "Hamas is not a terror organization", he would be wrong no matter his opinion. If he says "Hamas never starts the trouble, only responds", he would also be wrong no matter that opinion.

He refused to see reality, or he was lying. And when brought to the breaking point, he bailed.

Although I disagree with it, antisemitism has been on the rise in Europe and elsewhere for several years. The entire pro-Palestinian/anti-Israeli movement is tinged with antisemitism even though they often dress it up as "only being against Zionists".

Over the past decade, I've found underneath the sheet of every anti-Zionist is an anti-Semite. "Zionist" is simply code for "f**king Jews" just like "white power" is code for "I hate n*****s".

I fully support Israel using "the Chicago way" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094226/quotes?item=qt0439713): They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way!

Yes.

Jafar was as guilty as the muzzies actually doing the killing by supporting and whitewashing terrorist activities and he demonstrated that dozens of times right here on DP.

And there was no end to the justifications for it with laughable 'news stories' that were completely bogus. I myself tore down quite a few of his propaganda pieces that were entirely made up. Remember the article he posted about the full-fledged assault on a mosque here in America? Yeah, I researched that and it had been a kid that shot a pellet gun at it.

He was fully engaged in Taqqiya and Kitman, which is fully sanctioned lying to infidels. As has been pointed out, he started out low-key and gradually increased his efforts until it was full-blown Commie-grade propaganda.

I would have at least a modicum of respect for him if he'd had a set of balls and acknowledged when it was glaringly obvious that his latest bullshit posting was completely fabricated, but he never did. He simply posted a new line of bullshit and ignored the last.

IMO, a 'good poster' isn't someone who knowingly flings massive amounts of bullshit at the wall in the hopes that some would stick.

I'm not sure that there is a glint of independent conservative thought among you.

Setting aside the insulting nature of the comment for a moment - I'd like you to explain why Conservative thought HAS to be 'independent'. What's wrong with one Conservative agreeing totally with another, without any need for difference ?

Are you seriously suggesting, FJ, that Conservatives fail to BE such, if they don't show disagreement with others ??

Tell me this. If a Party Political candidate is fully loyal to his/her Party's Manifesto, would the true test of that candidate's worthiness be the extent of DISagreement shown against that Manifesto ? Perhaps someone in actual agreement with it, would be 'kind of an idiot' .. ?

In your haste to feed your imagination you forgot to pay attention to the key word that I used. I said independent thought which you lack and hopefully a candidate for office would possess. You should first read before making up your mind; you'd look less stupid.

EDIT:

Oh, and I see you forgot to own up to being a hypocrite. That's OK though, I expect that a hypocrite like you has no reason to start being honest. :)

More stupid deflection, FJ. Stupid because it's so obvious. It's becoming clear that you misunderstand on purpose.

What YOU 'suck' at, FJ (and only apparently, I think) is being attentive to what you read. Your above reply responded to:


By the way ... 'unionist', here, doesn't refer to Trade Unionism .. you need to do some homework !!!

You'd previously labelled Paisley as a 'Leftie'. I haven't yet stopped laughing at that one ! :laugh::laugh:

Now I'm baffled. I answered you, fully acknowledging and addressing the context you used. You can only be stating that argument to deflect from the point I posed.

A reminder of that which you wish to deflect from:

Thought that was independent of Manifesto commitments, and what underpinned them, would be 'independent' thought, would it not ?

Or would a candidate just 'parroting' the Party line be OK ?

Try to stay on focus this time, my son.

This guy? Can't say that I know him but he seems to be quite the leftie. But you don't seem like a unionist.

I knew the man and his politics pretty well.

To an extent I agree with Noir, though probably not for the reasons he thinks should apply. I think that Ian Paisley was basically well-intentioned, though with pretty terrible 'people skills'.

Putting it bluntly, he was a loudmouth, who did his cause harm just because he was the one advocating it ....

Not by any stretch of the imagination was he a 'Leftie', though !!:laugh::laugh:

FJ ... that one's priceless !! I think I'll be laughing at that suggestion for several days to come. Just because YOU can trace your contentiousness back to root-cause Leftieism, doesn't mean that's true for everybody !! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

It's just another form of censorship for the weak. One thing I can say is that in 14 years of being on message boards I've NOT ONCE stooped to an ignore list.

It's just another way of trying to control people.

Ignoring is weak, childish.

Just do not respond is all.

You are correct. FJ thoroughly beclowned himself this time. He should just admit it and move on.

Call it what you want but I don't lie nor do I judge people. As I said I liked Jafar UNTIL he decided to talk about how bad Israel was and how wrong they where for defending themselves, hell don't take my word for it, it is all in black and white, look it up.

I actually missed that. I glossed over such things. I support Israel, and I support experts who keep your country safe from terrorists, Muslim or not. Beyond that, I just don't care about those topics.

I guess everyone gets old and tired eventually. I give his son, Ian, Jr. credit for fighting the battle on the relevant battle front. Here in the US, we no longer blockade abortion clinics, but there's a good chance the number of such clinics will be reduced to seven here in Texas, with a population of 27 million.

Paisley did an almighty 'about-face' with that one .. after so many years of bitter enmity towards the IRA, suddenly he started favouring power-sharing in principle, AND allied himself with Martin McGuinness, of all people !! Came as quite a shock to a whole lot of people.

I don't know what happens over your abortion clinics .. but is some of that down to Internet blogs and protests ?

While I don't buy it 100%, it does make sense that surrendering your body to unknown forces invites demon possession. So the opposition to dancing makes perfect sense.

I don't have anyone on ignore although there are a couple of posters that I do skip over. My experiences have led me to believe the usual people that use the ignore tend to be the one's that make the most outlandish statements, can't back them up, and facts counter to their claims hurts their heads. :laugh:

You can ignore people without actually putting them on ignore. Just don't reply to anything they post. It is the best way to deal with a poster whose only aim is to be insulting or spout delirious nonsense.
You should never play cards with someone who is not dealing from a full deck.

Why not? What if irregular play makes you a better card player? It's harder to win at spades if you randomly remove four trump card from the deck.
