     I've got a hunch on how this one is gonna go, might as well just start it here and save our overworked Mods the trouble...

     I've stated that I don't block in the forums. I try very hard to practice what I preach, but I'm about to crank the wheel, yank the e-brake and do a high speed 180 on this one.\

    We are infested with idiots! Wankers! People who think getting 100 is a perfect score on the online IQ test! Then we have a few obvious forum regulars joining the mob (ok, a couple of them are pretty funny, and at least one of the profiles makes me laugh very hard) but the dumbasses don't get the joke and think that shit is ok everywhere.

     Very soon, I think, I shall step out into my backyard, release a full-throated primal scream and just start leaving a trail of bodies (metaphorically, of course) in my wake.

And your point is??? Did someone tick you off this morning?? Fill us in because to me the forums haven't changed from when I first joined a year ago.

Try that red hand. It's fat free, energizes, and makes your skin creamy and smooth.

Seriously, at munches I don't discuss my most private thoughts and ideas with just any schmuck in black leather hotpants. If someone in my real life doesn't 'get' it, I avoid them. That red hand does the same thing for me, and leaves me with a much more wholesome, intellectual experience.

I'll fly on out to the west coast and you can spank me.
I think we both need a bit of tension release.

It's funny, Stephann, in RT, I have no problem at all evicting problematic people from my life.* They can actually have an impact on it. That isn't the case here. I can just scroll past the crap and hope they'll be smarter tomorrow. That button is like saying "you are worthless, and always will be." Not a statement I like to think of myself making.

*(Depending on what the relationship had been in the past, I'll hang on to some hope of being able to re-engage if and when they pull their head out.)

I follow your logic, no question. Thing is, that red hand doesn't say 'never' it just says 'not now.' You see a link in place of their post, saying the user is hidden, and if you click the link, they're revealed again.

Of those I've chosen to block, only one has emerged for any length of time from that hole. Watching other's reactions to their posts usually confirms that I did the smart move, in hiding their venom.

       Ahhhhh. More akin to strapping them to the wall with a bit of duct tape over the mouth than wholesale slaughter....

     I can visualize that in a much more constructive way.

    Thanks

If only I could use the "red hand" on my ex-wife.

LOL There are a couple of people that, no matter how hard I try to avoid involvement, can still force it on me from time to time. It works great with former co-workers gone druggie, after telling them they look like shit doesn't provide a clue.
