I have HellToupee blocked on messenger only. I seem to recall him bombarding me with really nasty messages once for no reason I could discern.

Then I have King Biggie Cube, SWC, and CurlyNight all on ignore for basically the same reason: posts are really obnoxious, almost inevitably stupid, and I'd rather not have to scroll past them. Curly especially used to ruin the NBA thread for me every time playoffs roll around.

Feature seems to be working well.
I might have to start using it for Jamesbrownkid. Have never felt the need before, but the number and length of posts in some political threads, most of them just cut-and-paste jobs, are becoming too much to take.

Like you I have one person blocked from sending me messages but don't have him on ignore. Don't feel like giving him the pleasure of seeing his name here, though.

 
jamesbrownkid is your classic "trying to get under your skin so you think about blocking me guy" he has a few equivalents (have you ever seen squisition's work?) on the other side of the political aisle :shrug:

It's nice to have someone to keep the FFS fair and balanced.

I'm not sure he's the most stable individual.

 
The only person I have on my list is LHUCKS, and I placed him there the day he was banned for good. I can tolerate anybody most of the time.

True, but for me, it's not a classic "getting under my skin" thing with him; there are others that I find worse in terms of the content of the posts. It's the sheer volume and pointlessness of the posts, the likes of which I don't remember seeing before. If I browsed the forum much on my phone, I think I would have ignored him by now.

John I appreciate your honest opinion but you are wrong here. This is a super liberal forum, like whacky level, and they go out of their way to attack me for my support of Trump / conservative views. I don't care that they attack me, those are issues that they have to deal with themselves.

I'm a fan, irrespective of your intentions. I love seeing dorks get worked up over an internet post.

 
It is admirable that lhucks got banned and then just flat out went away. Or, changed his shtick at the very least.

No, I have somehow missed all his postings even though the spelling is quite similar to my moniker. I do see a mention of him from time to time by Tim, so he must be doing something right. :hophead:

There is definitely a trend in some of these ignore lists, the FFA sure does get agitated by a conservative point of view.

I don't get the hate for you JBK. Your post volume is high but the content is mostly just sharing facts. I guess some people don't like hearing things that conflict with their beliefs.

It's not a hate of the conservative point of view. Have you actually read his posts in the Bernie Sanders thread? Pointless attacks with no reasonability whatsoever. He derserves the ban he just got.

It looks like he posted something about Bernie being a lunatic, which is said dozens of times a day across multiple threads about Trump. I don't see anything wrong with that.He made a comment about people encouraging transgender children. Not sure I see the problem there either.

Posted a picture of some kid with a Bernie shirt on and talking #### about Trump. The horror!

Commented that Bernie was a communist (okay this is a slight stretch from socialist) and a pervert (based on his writings this could be true, but who isn't a pervert deep down).

Then banned.

If he was banned for making negative comments about a candidate then that is pretty hypocritical. There are two threads that are comprised of mostly people denigrating Trump and his supporters, not to mention snide remarks in many other threads.

If he was banned because his beliefs were different than the majority here then that is disappointing.

If he was banned because his posting was considered trolling then something ain't right. There are plenty of other posters here who's content adds no actual value to the thread topic being discussed.

If he was banned for something else then maybe it was justified.

ETA: I will agree that his posting had an agenda, I don't see anything wrong with that. This place could use a little more balance. It probably would have been more effective though if the frequency and intensity were dialed down a bit. A young buck coming into this middle aged left leaning forum guns blazing is probably not going to last long.

(This is all under the assumption he is a real poster and not some TGunz or Squiz alias just trying to get a rise out of people, in which case I would have to say well done)

If I put people on ignore for the things JBK did then that would knock out 30-50% of this place. I don't though because occasionally I'll learn something from those I disagree with and quite a few of you are pretty good posters outside of your deranged political views ;)

Are we really super liberal now?

Considering Eminence liked this post, you might want to reconsider what you wrote here.

"Super" is a little strong.

Always take the high road.

 
The reason conservatives get a bad rap is because of all the mouth breathers, the uneducated rednecks etc. who tend to gravitate that way. Obviously there are lots of intelligent conservatives out there, but they're drowned out by your loud, shrill, angry ranting morons who take everything to the extreme and often don't even fully understand the issues they're so pissed off about. It's not difficult to understand why they love the anonymous internet where they can spew all that pent up anger.

So knowing that, if someone feels the need to hyperpost a thread and it's 100% negative snarky crap, chances are they're not too bright and aren't bringing anything of value to the discussion.

:goodposting:

As a libertarian who finds things to agree (and disagree) with people about on both sides of the aisle, you just described by least favorite group out there (and the core of Trump's support). Though the sanctimonious "progressives" give them a run for their money.

 
If you don't see why Trump and Carson are derided as crazy people, then this board's moderation is not your biggest problem.
That's good posting. But Sanders is a whack-a-doodle too. And if you actually think he has "good ideas" then you have problems also.
I think he has good ideas. Based on polling a lot of people, on both sides of the aisle, think he has good ideas. Lots of people with problems I guess.

People like him because he's offering free money but has no real solution to pay for it. He's also very weak on the foreign policy side of things.

Actually he does pay for them but don't let facts get in the way.

I'm just amused that the comment "no solution to pay for it" comes from a Trump supporter. It's just too damn funny.
