My point being that crazy op's that demean women, gay people, immigrants and a myriad of other topics grow like well fed cancers here. People like you and I feel obligated to defend our position and as a result the post grows. As a result of that another gets started and then another. Trust me, I use ignore. The tool that I suggest has been used successfully and could help rid this board of some tragic posts designed only to make rational people irate.

I am not trying to police in any way. Simply reminding people that by responding to these threads that are designed to derail we feed the poster and groups behind them.

Should probably let it drop when pro-lifers drop their crusade to curtail choice. whttevrr Nov 2013 #38
