LET IT SINK.
Whenever you're tempted to kick one of those nasty, hate-soaked threads of desperation, kick this one instead.

1. That goes for both sides, right?
Because both sides have their share.

actually, ignore and let it sink accomplish the same thing.
IMHO.

but otherwise, I agree with let it sink. I'm not always a good practioner of it, but oh well. I'l try harder.

24. You are right
I had to add some more to my ignore list last night. I need to learn to ignore instead of fighting and bringing down the mood of the forum. At least with ignore you are not tempted to engage in an argument within a decent thread.

5. I haven't been posting as much for the last few days
for exactly that reason-I read some of the posts by some of the usual suspects and find myself just sighing and saying why friggin bother, and just let it sink

8. I'm confident that most of the Clinton people here
are true democrats that will fall in line with then rest of the party and vote for whoever is the nominee-just like I will do if it's Hillary.

11. It seems to me it has settled down
and I don't have anyone on ignore anymore,

I'm trying to always refer to HC as HC and stay out of threads that will send me to the moon.

When I see a send me to the moon thread, I hurry and push the donate button for Barack.

I'll have to check around this morning, my fingers want to hit the donate button for the debate tonight. :)

16. Posters who agree with this are just sticking their fingers in their ears, it doesn't make reality
go away, but do what you want.

18. Actually, it's more often the people who post on nasty, hate-soaked threads...
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 09:44 AM by ClassWarrior
...who stick their fingers in their ears and try to shout down reality.

The people with a firmer grasp on reality just leave.

20. It strikes me as being extraordinarily childish, insular, and at times even
cult like.

40. There's too much around here that we USED to call flame bait
I'm pretty tired of seeing people wallow in this uncivil behavior.

I'm calling flame bait on any thread that is flame bait... then I'll let it sink;)


Allowing this board to go into full anarchy mode should bring out self-moderation at some point... I guess I understand that, but this has all gone too far... on BOTH sides.
