Hello Lurch,
I put people on Ignore if they mouth off at me. And I do my best to make my policy clear and up front so it is well known. Every right wing poster here so far has done that sooner or later.
There are people who are right of center that I can have a respectful conversation with, but nobody on the far right. They are all too full of anger, and they seem to be just looking for somebody to dump on. I come for political discussion, not to be an enabler for internet abuse.
A large Ignore List is necessary in order to have functional conversations here. And really, there is so much activity here it is not possible to keep up with it all, so I just want the higher quality posts for my limited time spent here.
I mean.. I don't care if people here call me "woke" or a "libtard", or even, "motherfucker". One of the guys I'm chatting with here, calls me a curse word every sentence. Its just the way he talks and I really have no problem with it.
Cruelty, cynicism, sociopathy, evil.. when I see those traits exhibited, that's when I "dump" them. Some have been none to happy about it - a couple of the iggys followed me around for a day, trying to get me to notice them and I can't be happier to not have to deal with them any longer.
Just be honest and don't be cruel. Those are my only requirements. After that, call me a "libtard motherfucker" and I'll still be your friend.
