    You win. It's all yours.
    Don't leave. I appreciate your input. You make good points that no one else thinks of.

    If you leave it would be a loss.

    Politalker is right. Whatever the site chooses to allow by way of nazism, Concart, we don't have to tolerate their individual scumbaggery, and it is pleasing meanwhile to have a place where one can look out for the odd Trumper whose mind is not totally destroyed yet. My own problems are two: first, can I really continue to keep my Ignore list down to just twelve? and second, what on earth will I do if the Fuhrer gets back again? There are so many admirable Americans that I don't want to walk away, but beyond a certain point you begin to wonder, I must admit. But if you are and American and give up debating, it'll be down to resorting to the bang-bangs, which would seem to be a pity, however much the evidence points towards just that.

    It is only natural and expected that people with hate on the mind will congregate in chat rooms.

    Few people in real life will listen to them!

    We are under no obligation to give them any attention.

    Actually, if we do, we enable and encourage them.

    Wrong. He doesn't spazz all over the forum like those two do. Katzgar starts a lot of thread so possibly could be added to the spammy club, but at least he doesn't insert himself into every. single. discussion.

    Half the horseshit Deplorables say on this forum they would never say in front of their neighbors, daughters, grandchildren, co-workers.

    They even frequently are too ashamed to publicly confess their love and admiration for Trump. Do not take my word for it. Deplorables themselves are on record here claiming that polling undercounts Trump support because Deplorables are reticent to admit their undying love for Fatso.

    Well everybody knows the old polling meme.

    If the polls do not support Trump, the polls are 'meaningless, can't be counted on, unreliable.'

    If the polls show support for Trump then they are 'great headline news!'

    All you have to do is raise your moral standard for who you will talk to. Simply refuse to talk to anyone who tries to get personal. It is a simple line that can be drawn. Talking about the subject, OK. Talking about you, not OK.

    It's not a political discussion if people start talking about each other.

    Then it becomes an insult contest. Who can cut the other the deepest.

    I Ignore anybody who crosses that line, and those who post overt racism.

    And guess what?

    I STILL have plenty of people to talk to and they are not all liberal.

    So, here's the deal. Before the internet, the outcasts of society, the messed up minds with hatred in their hearts, the ones who want to blame others for their own inability to enjoy life, all of those people were marginalized.

    But with the internet and social media, all of those messed up minds have a way to get their message out.

    Whoopie do. So they are going to spread their grief and frustration far and wide.

    We don't have to listen.

    The best thing we can do is simply ignore all of that.

    Then they are just talking to themselves.

    So use the Ignore feature extensively, filter out all the garbage, and I think you will find some good people.

    Raise your standards and I believe you will find some very good discussions.
    The problem is that people quote those you may block rendering the ignore ineffective and their thread subjects are still visible. We could sanitize this place of idiot trolls were those two user features added.

    I'm with Concart except I'm staying here until Nov 4th and will then enjoy watching their massive comeuppance

    Trump will be a failed single term impeached soon to be indicted worst potus in US history. I won't want to swallow or spit it out quickly,
    but it will be the biggest "we told you so" in history. Then I'm gone.

    Yes, it would be better if the quotes of the Ignored were also blocked, but it is an easy habit to do it 'manually.'

    It only takes a glance at who is being quoted to shift attention on down the page.

    Honestly, I also would prefer to not even see the:

    "This message is hidden because X is on your ignore list. "

    Sometimes I see pages full of nothing but that as I scroll through a thread looking for anything of substance.

    With all the trolls on this site, yes, I do a lot of scrolling.

    They do a lot of trolling, so I do a lot of scrolling.

    Please don't go away permanently. You write really good posts and I enjoy reading them. Take a break and "cleanse your palate" of the nasty taste left here by the trolls and trumpers. Sometimes just a week away is refreshing, take it from one who knows.

    This thread goes to show how the left marinated in Victim Culture cant take free minds/free speech....that when they have to compete on equal footing with others they dont know what to do, safe spaces look attractive to the invalids. In almost any other place this deeply into this next Dark Age they play the victim card to limit and eventually squash all disagreement, but they cant do it here.

    FREE SPEECH ROCKS
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    The point that was proven is that Concart is an arrogant know it all who thinks people are to be labeled and put in their proper place. The lack of respect he has for individual freedom makes him a lot of things except an American.
