    Having a large thread ban list resulted in many posters being left out of those discussions. That was nice for me, and for people who appreciate subject-based discussions over insult-based discussions, but it was too frustrating for the ones who were left out. I enjoyed not having to scroll through page after page of Ignored poster place holders, and not having the tone of a discussion marred by petty disrespect and incivility. This created a problem because the banned posters would create copy-cat threads which made the main page confusing and the discussions became duplicated and difficult to follow.

    So I have been experimenting with not using the thread ban feature.

    It is not ideal, as the tone of the conversations often gets ugly, which is detrimental, but nobody can expect idealism. Ideal is merely a best case possible situation which is almost never realistically achieved. It provides something to strive for which has to be compromised in order to deal with reality. Approaching idealism requires more rules and updated rule making.

    I now view the thread ban feature as useless unless it were accompanied with a level of moderation which would prevent copy-cat threads.

    The reason our government is set up to allow constant modification of rules is because people find ways around rules. It is only logical that any set of rules faces the same challenge. JPP is no different.

    Please bear with me on my threads as we accommodate those who don't necessarily want to take part in a civil manner, but also don't want to be left out.

    I can only offer my wise advice as to how to deal with trolls.

    Don't respond to trolls. Don't encourage them. Don't engage with them. The best way to deal with trolls is to simply place everybody who talks down to you on Ignore. The more people who do that, the less of a problem trolls would be.

    The more popular and accepted the Ignore feature becomes, the less of a problem trolling becomes.

    It is up to we the good people who want a good Forum to make it what we want.

    We all have the power to do that.

    Don't have any concern for putting too many people on Ignore. I can tell you from personal experience it is entirely possible to have a very rewarding posting experience with a large Ignore List. I've been building mine for over a year and it has worked out fabulously.

    Enjoy!
    Fuck you, you high donkey asshole

NOT a nice welcoming, to say the least. So let's forget about all that political crap, at least for this post. I was born in Chicago, Illinois. Raised in Chicago suburbs and the Valparaiso, Indiana area. Moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1977, stayed there over 30 years. I got tired of big city living, moved back here in Valparaiso in 2010. I love it here, can't see EVER going back to Arizona. I'm of Dutch, Italian, Irish and English descent. My father, who passed away recently, had a saying, "If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much". I've worked in many fields, including working in a library (my favorite work), I worked in an animal shelter for about 7 years. That was rewarding, but sometimes sad, work. I worked in group homes for the mentally challenged for about 6 years. I moved back here to Valparaiso to get away from the big city living but also to be here with my sister and mother. After my mother passed away very unexpectedly in October of 2013, my sister took it very badly. She and my mother were good friends as well as daughter-mother. My sister gradually took more and more opioids until they almost killed her. I took an early retirement to take care of her for about a year. She recovered and is doing much better now. I have many interests other than politics. They including reading, (I need to get back to the two books I'm currently reading.) collecting and listening to primarily classic rock and blues CD's. I love to play trivia. I play on Sporcle.com, I play on a live trivia team each Tuesday evening and I play Buzztime trivia at my local Buffalo Wild Wings. It's a lot of fun and I occasionally win money or bar credit. I've never married, I came close once. No children that I know of. I enjoy life each and every moment. Well, that's all for now. I've probably revealed a bit too much about myself, but that's OK. Some on this site wanted to know a bit about me. I've got NOTHING to hide.
    Damn, it appears I posted this on the wrong thread! This should be on the "New here.....hello" thread.

    I respectfully ask for the same in return. Actually I require it. If you share my values this should represent a welcome diversion from the common immaturity seen here.

    I am into civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Anyone who flames on me will be placed on my Ignore List. My rules are more strict than the site rules. My Ignore List is PERMANENT. I never take anyone off Ignore. If you like to call other posters names and you want to blame me, vent on me, etc, please identify yourself by flaming on me promptly so I can add you to my growing Permanent Ignore List.

    Anyone can tell me off one time. If I accept that and do nothing I invite more of the same; I become the enabler for this type of unwarranted aggressive behavior. I am not going to do that. I know it is quite common around here, but I am not going to put up with it. I could. I simply choose not to. That's what an Ignore List is for. I feel like if I take part in that kind of tit for tat, that I lower myself to do that.

    I fully expect to have a very large Ignore List quite rapidly. This is my strategy for having respectful conversations about our national issues. In order to enjoy what I seek, I must filter out ALL of the trash talk. I don't care what form it comes in. It can be accompanied by a very intelligent post, very articulate. That doesn't matter. If it includes being mean, saying mean things about me, I will add that poster to my Ignore List. I don't say mean things about other people, and I am not going to lower myself to those standards.

    Many will not understand this. Some will think I will have nobody to talk to. They are wrong. There are good people with manners who are tired of the trash talking. Not as many as the trash talkers here, but that is not a problem. There is too much activity on this site to keep up with it all anyway. So I am going to build a nice little group of friends here who want to be polite, like they really care about one another. That's what I have in real life, and that is what I will have here. That means I am going to have to make some examples out of some people and show that I mean exactly what I said in my Signature. I refuse to be the target of such venting. Nothing personal at all. I simply choose to remain above that. You can do that too, you know. We all can. I choose to.

    Also, it does not escape me that when people are unable to argue their positions solely on points of merit, and feel they must resort to putting down the opposition? When people act like that, it usually means they are not really confident enough in their own position to simply state how they feel and let it be. As if they don't think their own position is strong enough to stand on it's own merit. A position is actually more convincing if you stick to facts, and point out where other posts deviate from facts.

    I know there are many on this planet who have a genuine love in their heart for fellow humans. I know they exist because I find examples of it constantly. Sadly, there are also some who are filled with rage and frustration. They are just looking for someone to direct it towards. When we enable one another to do that to us, we perpetuate the grief and hatred. I am not going to do that.

    All we have to do is find that love in our hearts for humankind and look for it. It is out there. It is inside all of us. We are intelligent beings, but we are creatures of habit. We Americans have some bad habits. Lately one of them is being mean to others on the internet. Very similar to being mean, dangerous, and overly aggressive as drivers, something which has existed long before the internet, but something which has become worse over time. I have to chuckle when I think that some of our worst posters here post like some of our worst drivers drive, but it's sadly true.

    Habits can be changed if you try hard enough. That is a very powerful lesson in life. Do your habits control you? Or do you control your habits... Any habit can be changed or established by simply consciously acting differently for a period of 2-3 weeks. After that time period, it becomes second nature. Then you don't have to think about it, it just comes naturally. It is your new habit. Very powerful for self-improvement.

    If you are not proud of your habits, and there is a small part of you, a nagging feeling, that it is not right? Listen to that. You can change your habits. Let it begin with enjoying a mutually respectful and long lasting exchange of ideas with me. You never have to worry that I am going to tell you off. I don't do that. I argue on the basis of merit. If you can do that too I believe you will find your credibility will be very high.

    Welcome to a new era at JPP. Let that begin with me, and with you. Thanks for listening; thanks for being kind. Be kind to yourself; be kind to others.

    Let's have some fun learning, exchanging ideas, and finding out what makes the other side tick as we get better informed and better able to be responsible citizens!

    I highly recommend the APP section. There are still some trolls there, but they usually get banned for trying to start flame wars.

    Hello StoneByStone,

    I have tried the APP section. Not enough volume of posts. I like the main pages. More discussions. More activity. And I can hold my own just fine with the given tools.

    You have replied to a post which is over a year old. It was one of my very first posts here at JPP. As I reread what I wrote over a year ago I now see that I was spot on with every single point. My approach has proven wildly successful. I didn't know if it would work here, but I can now say that it has worked quite well.

    By stringent and prudent use of the Ignore Feature it is possible to be a regular at the cesspool of JPP and have a completely polite and clean posting experience free of the nuisance of trolls.

    Placing everybody who trolls you on Ignore does not lead to having nobody to talk to. Rather, it leads to having more intellectual conversations which are focused on the topic of discussion and avoid the distraction of talking about one another. Check my page. I have lots of friends. I have also de-friended several posters who went off on me and got placed on Permanent Ignore. Those who remain are good people. Good to me. Lots of them.

    I think there are a lot of posters who enjoy entering into discussions with me because they know I am not going to attack them personally. I represent a safe diversion from the normal risk of talking to trolls. I mean, let's face it. You know what you are risking when you talk to a troll.

    Who is a troll? Well, a lot of people who don't think they are trolls? They are trolls. They just don't want to admit it. They get these long-standing feuds going. No matter what the subject is, many threads go downhill pretty quickly. There might be a page or two of actual discussion about the OP, but once those preliminaries are out of the way the gloves come off and the insults fly. The funny thing is that many trolls can turn it on and off at will. Some have better control than others. But it is amazing. I see people launch into really nasty attacks on others but when they talk to me they tone it right down because they know if they go off on me I will stop talking to them. And they like having a safe person to talk to. They know I am not going to attack them, so they can let their guard down and freely discuss a subject.

    Discussing a subject is ostensibly the real reason we all come here, isn't it? I think so. I think all the trolling is just bad habits. Most people never think about trying to decide what habits they have. They just never think about it. Most people like their habits and they don't want to change. Maybe they lack the confidence to believe they CAN. I simply wondered if I could and tried. Once I found out the power of habit control I was hooked. What a feeling of empowerment! It felt so good I knew other people would enjoy it too. So I share my views on that here.

    I know most people are not in the right state of mind to want to make deep personality changes in their own psyche. They are not receptive to this kind of message. That's fine. I just toss it out there once in a while in case there is one individual who is ready for some self-improvement. And it should be noted that this technique of editing one's own habits? Goes far beyond chat forums and online trolling. I did it to improve my fuel mileage, diet, fitness, personal spending, drinking, interpersonal relationships, work efficiency, lots of things. It's powerful. But it is only for those who want to use that power. Only you know who you are.

    If you have a habit you want to change you can do it if you try. An effective method is to think of a better habit to replace the unwanted one. Then, every time you have the urge to do the old habit, you just consciously make yourself do the new one. Do that for 2-3 weeks and presto. You no longer have to think about it. Your new better habit is established. We don't have to let our habits control us. We can control THEM.

    Good posting begins with good habits.

    I have realized an unexpected bonus to having a strong PIP.

    Since I don't internalize any of the common nastiness found here, I don't even think like that. My thought patterns are clean, so I don't take any bad habits from this place into real life. I don't do a lot of assigning of fault. I see differences more than fault. I don't get into nasty arguments with people because I have learned to identify where conversations move from useful to pointless. Sometimes a tactical change of subject or just shutting up is the thing to do. It's awesome. Arguing doesn't have to be mean-spirited. If somebody has a point, they have a point.

    I can get into political discussions with real people in real life and really discuss different points of view without having it devolve into insults and bad feelings. The trick is to stay on politics and not begin talking about one another, not make it personal.

    Not everyone can do that, so I can also tell, usually from the beginning, if others are uncomfortable with such a conversation. Some people just can't talk politics without getting angry. If it's instant and strong the thing to do is just walk away from that person or subject. Others just have a built in defensive habit, but if their fire is not raging it might be diffused with a non-challenging response. Something intriguing, but not blaming in any way, might get the conversation past the stumbling point.

    Part of my logic for having a PIP with stringent rules is that I wish to make my time here as efficient as possible. I'm not here to just kill time. I have a purpose. My mission is to learn. I know I am not going to turn any conservatives liberal, so I don't even try. I think people appreciate that. What I want to do is learn what's going on in the world, and why others believe what they do. Cutting out all the personal strife cuts out a lot of wasted time. If I were to get into some name-calling flame war, I'm not learning anything. So to me, that's just a waste of time. By only reading mostly posts that really talk about politics, I stay on task to accomplish my goals more efficiently.

    To all those whom I have on Ignore, I'm sorry we are unable to talk, but it's nothing personal. It's about taking care of my psyche and making best use of the time I spend here. I'm sure some of you wish I would give you a second chance. No, I am sorry, I can't do that. The one and done aspect of it for chances, coupled with having people talk about me and complain that I am 'unreasonable' serves a purpose to me. That lets others know that I am not kidding, that I am totally serious, and I stand square behind what I say. I make every effort to explain where I am coming from up front and warn people what is going to happen if we can't talk plainly and nicely.

    I hope everyone enjoys their visits here as much as I do, whether I talk to you or not. I have my own way of doing this, and there's nothing wrong with that. I recognize that there is nothing stopping people from creating a new name and starting over with me, so if you really want to share a mutual respect and know what that's like that option is always available. You could even use it to tell me off, but that would be a lot of effort for one blast. As soon as it is clear there is no mutual respect I'll place anybody on Ignore, new poster or old. And the thing is that other people are able to do what I ask, so if you can't then it ain't my problem. Sometimes ya gotta just look out for yourself, and an internet chat room is totally one of those times.

    I would totally invite anybody to adopt my approach and copy my PIP, put it into use. It's a big challenge, because you would have to give up your own bad habits if you demand others do the same. I think that is a big stumbling block for many, but ya never know what you can do until you try. And what do you have to lose? Some bad habits? You could change your life. I changed mine. Nobody else decides how you conduct yourself but you. Enjoy!

Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions.

    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 post for different reasons than most here


    I post to get the truth OUT

    it started the day on came on the internets


    I came in late 2002 when I realized Bush was lying us to war in Iraq



    I thought all the people needed was the FACTS and the Proof of those facts


    I was sweet as hell and NEVER insulted anyone


    I still got accused of insulting people anyway


    I was called all sorts of boring insult names


    after a few sites and a few years I figured it out


    being nice to certain people gets you no where


    I post for the people who READ these pages


    Not for me


    not for the other posters glee


    I post to GET THE FACTS OUT IN THE AIR


    I have seen it work


    I have seen the media begin reporting things that I posted and were being ignored


    The election cheating by the republicans begin to be reported on


    I once began talking about how the right merely called a candidate a poopy pants based on no facts Until people just believed the poopy pants lie


    I saw Carl Rove say it in reverse about losing an election to Obama


    I called republicans sociopaths YEARS before it began to be said all over the media


    this medium is the NEW TOWN HALL


    people listen to what we say folks

    Its a cheap as hell and comes to you at the click of a button


    its information on what argument works and cuts through


    I post on the manner I post out of calculation


    exposure


    I am funny so I use that tool


    I am creative so I use that tool


    people want to learn about this stuff


    I make it funny


    yes its dirty

    but its funny


    I space my lines and post in a conversational manner that falls right into the human brain


    every site I have been on has an increase in traffic


    People read what I posts



    thank you gentle readers




    they know when they read my stuff they will get documented FACTS that they can go verify and repeat when discussing it with real people


    I am here to teach and entertain


    its basically right up my personality anyway


    I am on the earth to embrace TRUTH


    Truth has always been what soothes me even when the world gets chaotic and filled with lies


    Truth will always lead you out of the chaos


    It is now doing it as we speak


    lies ruin EVERYTHING on the face of the earth


    those that embrace lies will never be free or truly happy


    I march for truth


    I entertain people for the sake if truth


    I bring the facts for the sake of truth



    truth is my master


    reality is the ONLY place I want to be


    without the full truth you will never know the true reality



    and will always be a prisoner of lies

    Maybe somebody should have asked who isn't on your ignore list.

    You wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on the ass.
