I often see responses recorded in My Posts, but do not see the responses themselves.

Stalker Control.

Some of them were stalking me around DU3 and thanks to our 'fantastic' self-policing system, the admins would do nothing about it, unlike DU2.

So I had no choice. I used to be proud that I never ignored anyone. But that room has gotten out of hand.

Glad we can isolate them.

is based on pure speculation and conjecture, rather than a critical analysis for what has actually taken place.

There's nothing wrong with criticizing the president when he has made the wrong decision. But I see that there is still Obama Derangement Syndrome here that hasn't gone away.

You have reminded me to use IGNORE more liberally, as well as the TRASH THREAD option.

Thanks so much!!

located in General Discussion.

Sad, I would like to have a rational discussion about guns or anything else really, but you just can't here, unfortunately.
