RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.
Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.

The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

I've noticed that Evince is particularly good at this. There's one who follows her around, tugging on her skirts for attention and joining in dog piles whenever they occur (sometimes daily lol).... but not a single look, word, or glance from Evince. It's a thing of beauty. lol

Hello Adolf_Twitler,
No. It filters their comments out of your own posting experience.
I have already learned enough about their thinking to know that I don't care to see their comments.
Yes, absolutely. If only...
Well, we can actually do something about that. It is just an involved process that may take a while. We could actually end his reign and possibly even end his tweeting. That would be the best case. I would approve of imprisonment with court order of no tweeting ever again.
I'll leave that to you and others who feel that calling. I did that for a very long time and then decided I had 'paid my dues' to block them all out. And shat rooms got instantly better the moment I did. Never going back. Always forward.
The best approach is to give them no recognition of even having ever said anything at all. As if they don't even exist. The best case would be if nobody ever responded to anything they said. That would be fitting. Inappropriate unacceptable people in polite society should be completely marginalized and excluded from civil discourse.
Yeah, I've heard all I care to of them. I want to enjoy my life. They just spread too much negativity. I don't care to be around that vibe. If disagreeable obnoxious people showed up in real life in a public place I was enjoying, I wouldn't engage with them at all. I would just leave. There is not point in asking people like that to change. They can't do it. They have their reasons for being that way, they get off on being rude, and it is not up to me to change them. They would have to be the ones to decide to make that change. All I can do is lead by example. And that makes my life; and my visits here quite pleasant.
It's like when you're at a red light and somebody pulls up with an obnoxious boom car. You know how it is. You can't even listen to your own music because theirs is so loud. What are you going to do? There's no point in trying to get their attention to ask them to turn it down or try to explain to them that you can't even listen to your own music while they are doing that. They know what they are doing and it gets them off. Yes, there are anti-social people in this world. No I don't feel any need to engage with them. I just want distance between me and them. Light turns green it's done. I make sure separation occurs.

Hidden posts is a pretty good idea
The well adjusted and sentient higher life forms here know who the mentally unstable, the barely educated, the basement dwellers, the Incel are.
Isolation and quarantine for these lower life forms is the only solution I can proffer .
Hello Cypress,
Thanks. I think it would be an improvement. I'm glad you agree. Maybe if enough do that can be arranged.
I don't have any animosity towards them. I think they need help, counseling would be absolutely appropriate, but they have to make that call themselves. They have issues. It's not my place to try to fix that. There is some lack of intelligence in some cases but I am not quick to think it's very widespread. I am just as sure that there are plenty of very intelligent people with highly negative attitudes. It has to do with experiences in life, many dating back to childhood.
One helpful thing to know is that for addictive personalities, the age at which the addiction takes over their life (and they could be functional addicts able to earn and support themselves even as they are suffering the affliction,) from that moment when they are lost to whatever they can't resist, their level of maturity at that point is essentially frozen in time. And for as long as the addiction persists, they gain little more wisdom or maturity.
For example, an individual who becomes an alcoholic at age 15, and then finally kicks it at age 30 essentially becomes a 30 year old person with all the maturity and wisdom of their old 15 year old self.
If they manage to free themselves of their burden, the maturing process can resume. But any progress possible during that whole time it was suspended is lost, so they would have some major catching-up to do and be at a 'social graces deficiency' until that occurs.

PoliTalker,
In your way, you talk about them (your ignored people) all the time. You even post their names frequently, so it is difficult to see how you are ignoring them.

Hello Controlled Opposition,
Keeping an active IgList is the only thing which makes my participation here possible. If the Ignore feature was disabled I would not participate here. I refuse to be an enabler for online abuse. If I lived a thousand years there wouldn't be enough time in my life for that kind of negativity.
