I'm all for a "Sanity Coalition." This is crazy. I personally don't have the time to wade through the garbage as I'm sure most dont, and therefore would rather not assume any responsibility with regards to removing posts. But I'd be happy to play Roberts to somebody's Breyer via PM or in the threads, if necessary.I have one guy on ignore. Not even a lefty.
There's really nothing to it.
I can't for the life of me understand why you guys mostly the ones happy to post the Bush Palin McCain hate lunacy )just flat out refuse to do that.
You can ban everybody who you don't like and never see another post, really.
Think of the joy of discussing cap and trade for ten thousand word cut and pastes at a time!!
Or "Capitalism: Threat or Menace?"
Personally I think you guys woul rather bitch about it than simplify your board experience.
Why do you suppose that is?

I don't think anyone should expect John to keep up with all of this. I mean, look at the board. 90% of the threads are paranoid nonsense. And even the ones that aren't are usually derailed by paranoid nonsense.At this point, if you want to have a discussion, you might as well PM somebody.
A friend was just telling me about his brother-in-law who works in the Secret Service, and from what he was saying it sounded like there was a fairly significant uptick in new threats for the president-elect. To anyone who has been on this board in the past year, how could that come as a surprise?
Thanks, Heck.
I really don't want nor need sympathy. I do the best I can. I work full time - sometimes it might be hard to tell - have a wife and two kids that sometimes need or want my attention, and have a dog that wants and needs a run in the woods every morning.
Folks might be surprised if they saw how many posts I actually delete. Unfortunately, recently I decided to take down three entire threads.
I'm not sure if another moderator or two would make a difference with certain posters. Some of what they say is OK, some is borderline, and I like to focus on what I consider to be way over the line - comics of big-lipped Obama, etc.
Using the ignore button is probably the best bet for those wanting to be insulated from what they consider to be stuff that is over the line.
For what it's worth, I don't believe Stan has deleted anything on this board. If he has, it is news to me.
We don't all have to disagree, but we should respect each other - and that also means acting in a way that fosters respect and dignity.

That's a totally inaccurate assesment. For me, it's not about user bans or whatever, it's the convoluted garbage that mucks up the index page. I made the original post above only 3 hours ago, and to have to break out a GPS unit, metal detector, and a Y-shaped stick to find the thread is extremely irritating. This would not be the case if the dingleberry's I had to comb through were actually worth reading.
It's not about whining or removing somebody's right to post or "just ignoring it," Steve, it's a tax.

There are about what, 25 posts topics per page, right?
So just looking at the authors I know which ones not to open.
So that's not all that taxing to me.
If I open up a topic from somebody I might want to read, the guy I have on ignore's posts on that subject aren't there, only those I didn't ignore.
I gotta think that at least in XXXX and XX and XXX's case it's like the car wreck they're compelled to look at.
BTW the guy I ignore doesn't offend me, he's just an idiot that clutters things up so I understand that part.

Same here.\ said:
Thank you, Leg. Exactly how I feel.And if need be, I'd be willing to play Breyer to Leg's Roberts. But I think damajuki would be a better candidate for the job.
\ said:
It is oftentimes impossible to even find that response you're looking for because 45 threads about brownshirts pushed the thread I'm looking for into WSS' movie review forum.

Which I assume was an anti Obama post.
Just a guess......

These are always great:

This one is perfect for the board.
-
Okay, Heck, that is hilarious. Congrats.
But the truth is, y'all won, you libs you. So, we'll see if Nobama is pres of everybody,
or not.
Could be pretty interesting.
But Obama's VOTES on other legislation in Illinois have never been explained by you guys.
So, since MousesucknadZ is trying to manipulate control over the board,
let him have at it.
I'm busy.
Did Shepbites and MousesucksnadZ ever get married or not?
(I'll put em on my ignore list)

So, since MousesucknadZ is trying to manipulate control over the boardYeah, that's what I'm doing. I'm merely trying to have a conversation with someone without some moron talking about messiahs and brownshirts intervening.
\ said:
(I'll put em on my ignore list)Perfect. You have no interest in conversation anyhow...all you do is talk to yourself.
-
I'm just waiting for you or Shepbites to have ANYTHING INTELLIGENT to say.
After weeks of waiting, I easily fall back on my humor.
It must really SUCK to be so arrogant, you wet the bed or whatever because people
don't believe in what you do and won't stop it.
-
Have patience my brothers, things are going to change soon.
-
They aren't about politics... unless you think Cal's "bad black people being mean to good white soldier babies" is politics.
Perfectly appropriate.
You'd shit if it were a white teacher picking on the black kids.
Maybe the "sanity coalition" could do a quick survey of your posts Shep.
My guess is 20 to 1 are based on personal attacks.

Cal just had his post erased where he passed on a joke about the Obamas/black people being monkeys.
I would have preferred they left it up.

Why Heck. Curious.
It was a joke that I am capable of saying but tongue in cheek and with much care about the audience. Not in public and this is a public board.
I just didn't feel it was appropriate, given our new President (elect).
-
It was about Michelle Obama, and it was about creation vs evolution. I don't take into consideration that the issue
cannot be lampooned just because somebody is black or white.
If it were about Nancy Reagan, y'all would have a field day LOL.
You all are sadly having too much fun playing the race card.
"if you don't vote for Obama, you're a racist"
forget it. I'll start another thread about creation vs evolution, that you can't possibly diss in terms of racism.
If I can think of one...
-
Well, everybody can see what you are doing.
I'm stopping my crap long enough to see if you are able to.
I'm just an ornery comedian and forum fairness vigilante.
I've stopped, now the whole board can see if you and mz the pussy can.
IOW, I'm trying it again to challenge you to to stop the personal attacks. Seriously.
-
John, I understand why you took it down. I'm just saying that sometimes people need to know that kind of thing is out there, you know?
I mean, no one ever answers the question, "Are you a racist?" by saying "Yeah, I'm a racist." But no one believes there are no racists.
So you find out in other ways.

\ said:
My posts are based on personal attacks? Uh... WHAT?Most of them.
Yeah. And you have two heads and the sky is bright red. Just say shit. It'll start meaning something some day.
Wel tjat didn't take long eh?
Dude, for the millionth time, you really aren't fooling anybody with the Kaufmann act. Nobody thinks you're blind or stupid. They know that YOU know the board is getting shit on by three guys, and one of them is the psycho you keep defending just to get a rise out of people.
For the millionth time, how would you possibly know?
You have all the bad people on "ignore" right?
Or couldn't you bring yourseld to do it?
It's transparent.
It is at that.
And no, I've never, ever posted anything about a white man being mean to little black peoples. That isn't politics.
But you defend that teacher for badgering little kids on a racial basis.
I say you wouldn't stand for it if it were reversed.
Frankly, Cal should be banned. He doesn't need any encouragement or forum for his bile. T, Diehard, Bunker, and the others are faking. If they'd whittle down to two of them and be real, they'd probably be fine.
No one is more bilious than you Shep.
That's all I keep saying.

I'm aware that you keep saying it. I'm equally aware that you don't believe it. Combined, it makes you a good neocon.Assuming you know what a Neocon is, yes, I could easily be.
As far as it goes anybody with the inclination can go baclk over your last 50 posts and see just how many are personal insults.
Most are directed at Cal who you say you have on ignore.
