194. Not reading the news is not an apt analogy.

IMO, you have a responsibility, though not a legal obligation, to know what is going on in the world. And not knowing may hurt you in some way. However, the same is not so when it comes to reading an OP that you yourself characterize as content free.

Usually, content free posts are a habit of certain posters that you can put on ignore and should, if seeing their posts is so troubling to you. Seems like the sane thing to do. I have used ignore for only one poster in ten or eleven years of posting, but, apparently, I have a better ability to move on than does the OP.

What does annoy me, though? People who are not content with controlling the content of only their own posts, like the rest of us, so they also try to control the content of the posts of other posters, by attempts to shame or by concerted alert strategies or other means.

And, by the way, neither using "fuck" nor starting sentences with "and" changes the value of a post. Either a post has something to say or it doesn't. As has been pointed out on this thread, plenty of people who are (or were) well worth listening to. John Oliver, Jon Stewart, George Carlin and Lenny Bruce had plenty to say and used profanity quite freely. So, the OP sets up a false construct, also more annoying to some of us than the use of so-called profanity.

P.S. Use of a double negative in the subject line, ending some sentences in prepositions, sentence fragments and starting some sentences with "and" --all intentional and for the enjoyment of the fucking word police.
