    Default Crap to a member using ignore

    This so-called 'hermetically sealed echo chamber' you refer to. WHAT chamber ? What on earth are you talking about ? Do you even know yourself ?

    It's more likely that a Leftie would inhabit one. This would explain how Lefties only hear what THEY have to say, and are deaf to the realistic utterances of others !

    Folks talking to themselves, over and over, knowing that the other member did the right thing by the board and placed them on ignore. And it's one thing if you are truly posting something factual that needed addressing - but you use such opportunities to STILL troll someone, even though they won't see your response.

    I presume you're referring to those who refuse to defend their posts? They get some fact dropped on 'em like anyone else.

    Besides fact is not trolling.

    Gotcha. I see it as the continuation of the problems that were a never ending feud. You weren't placed on ignore for folks to no longer defend posts, but because I asked people to do so in order to stop the crap posts that screwed up so many threads and started animosity and dumb posts instead of discussing the subject or whatever. You still feel the need to try and poke, and then claim "I can't make this stuff up" or whatever is now factual and adding to the thread. If you can't be bothered trying to avoid such situations and want to continue the crap, then I simply have no need to be a part of it, even if indirectly. You can wait for replies for those who have you on ignore then. All it does to me is take away from the subject and make me not want to participate any longer.

    Money well spent - and that's having an add-on made for me, which allows for me to FORCE someone to ignore another member, and that will be the end of the nonsense once I get that.

    Sweet! I'll still get to point out to others how stupid some posts/posters are. Snowflakes can't be bothered with dissenting opinion.

    Yup, no different than anyone else. In the mean time, posts replied to others, others that have them on ignore, will be moved to the cage.

    This post is addressed only to Jim, in that it only speaks about the issue of free speech and how much is to be allowed , before it is abused in such a manner as to to destroy a person, board, discussion, etc.

    Free speech, also implies that it will not be abused such as yelling, FIRE!, when none exists in a crowded theater.

    Speaking directly and only in regards to Free Speech issue, it is well known that a board owner must decide how much to allow, for if he allows it totally unchecked, chaos ensues and the board descends into mayhem, cursing and a foul darkness, IMHO.

    Stopping such is the board owner's decision to make. As is any action that owner may choose to himself freely and solely take..

    That would be a real shame for this or any board. It seems to me that the posters that use ignore are the posters that like to give shit to others but can't take refuting facts in return as FJ pointed out.

    That's all well and good but I don't see you moving posts when someone I'm ignoring replies to me and you don't really take action when someone who is ignoring me goes out of their way to make comments about me; either directly or indirectly.

    Why you go out of your way to favor the knuckleheads boggles my mind because they add virtually nothing to the board, repetitive rants mostly.

    If you're views can't stand the light of debate then perhaps you're in the wrong place.

    Feuding, and poking back and forth at one another, ruining threads for folks not interested in that non-stop crap, is not good for any board. If someone wants to reply with a normal post, that's fine, but replying with mocking is NOT adding anything but trying to continue the crap with someone who put them on ignore. And it would also be different if the post being replied to was being addressed to them in some manner, but it's not. It's nothing more than trying to eliminate the crap. If you guys prefer the crap, this is the wrong place for you.
