    Worked like a charm
    Only because rule 3 was not enforced. If it had been, thread banning would be just fine.
    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.

    Since day one Top has broken rules and gets a free fucking pass!
    We owe a great debt of gratitude to Damo for creating and maintaining this place. And all the mods selflessly give their time to make it all work. Much appreciated as well. If it's too much to enforce rule 3, get rid of it and get rid of (then pointless) thread-banning.

    Libertarians should be OK with fewer rules.

    If another poster bothers you just put that poster on Ignore and forget they exist.

    Great personal stress reduction ensues.

    It is the nuke of forum posting.

    If everyone did that, the trolls would all be sidelined and only able to talk to other trolls.

    The problem is that everyone has a little troll blood in them. Online forums count on it. People participate in hopes of interaction. Functional minds can think of stirring things to say which will elicit a response. Dysfunctional minds lean far too heavily on simply being annoying. Then they get an endorphin rush when they see the reaction. They do it again and again. It's habit-forming. What's to stop them?

    In order to shut that down, simply stop responding to trolling. That is the biggest fear of a dysfunctional troll - being ignored. To the trolling mind, the thought of getting no response at all is terrifying. If they don't know how to conduct a respectful conversation, and trolling is all they have, that would cut them off from any social interaction.

    Ya gotta remember, some of these posters have no life IRL. Internet forums are all they have. Sad.

    Is that a shot at Top? Who sets and alarm to be here at 4:30 am to say good morning on her over lapping tribute threads! That are the very definition of Rule 3.

    I dunno. One never knows (or do they)?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    How is Mason any different on LiG's thread? Perhaps the moderation team will ask themselves that question.

    Years later, you are still pissed because you can't call people "cunts" on Amazon forums. Grow up.
