Need advice on coping with single-issue flamers spammers. [View all] UTUSN Mar 30 OP

Like the old saying goes... LuckyCharms Mar 30 #1

Yip, the no response has its message. The flamers go by the internet "rule" about the Last Word wins. UTUSN Mar 30 #11

LC, please see reply 18. highplainsdem Mar 30 #23

I was unfamiliar with the thread, highplainsdem, and was replying in generalities. LuckyCharms Mar 30 #46

If you use "ignore," you will not regret it, IMO! Why let a few people annoy you and get in your head? Doodley Mar 30 #2

Same experience here jmbar2 Mar 30 #3

Absolutely perfect, am saving it. Would like to post it to the flamers but it might be called a personal attack. UTUSN Mar 30 #7

It is a striking resemblance jmbar2 Mar 30 #10

Am going to post it in Lounge, crediting you, in order to get it into my Journal. Thanks! UTUSN Mar 30 #12

You may need to include a Trigger Warning for jmbar2 Mar 30 #13

That's what I thought too. FoxNewsSucks Mar 30 #34

My first impression of the WARREN resemblance was just the immediate impact of the face. UTUSN Mar 30 #36

There's definitely a facial resemblance FoxNewsSucks Mar 30 #38

Yeah, the vid is spoiled for me now, too. This highlights another flamer trait, UTUSN Mar 30 #44

The ignore button is your friend Fiendish Thingy Mar 30 #4

Yip, my choices make it insoluble for me. UTUSN Mar 30 #9

short of an alert (given they have actually demeaned or broken other rules) about your only alternative stopdiggin Mar 30 #6

Yip, doing that more than can like, reaping a pain in the gut and actual stress. Sometimes I dread UTUSN Mar 30 #8

As a big fan of the ignore function, I'll tell ypu how I manage it. NNadir Mar 30 #14

Excellent and very understanding points. Back when, during the early Ignore era, tried it on bad actors. UTUSN Mar 30 #15

That's the best part of an ignore list. Checking through it and realizing... NNadir Mar 30 #19

Yip, silently ignoring the stalking and lies until they expose themselves is satisfying when it happens. UTUSN Mar 30 #21

See reply 18 to understand the thread UTUSN is complaining about others commenting on. He was highplainsdem Mar 30 #22

Ok. I'm not going to get involved other than to say.. NNadir Mar 30 #25

I'm not going to ignore someone recommending an AI channel using illustrations of rape to advertise highplainsdem Mar 30 #30

Ok. I understand your postion, but to be perfectly clear I often... NNadir Mar 30 #35

Timely and relevant post. yorkster Mar 30 #16

Thanks for the understanding! - Insoluble because of my choices, but at least it's on record. UTUSN Mar 30 #17

UTUSN, you're apparently complaining about multiple people objecting to the lurid, non-historical content highplainsdem Mar 30 #18

And btw, if anyone here who's been sympathizing with UTUSN feels the replies he received in that highplainsdem Mar 30 #24

I use the Ignore feature because, for me, it's better not to know what's out there. mahatmakanejeeves Mar 30 #26

Yip, I use a kind of Ignore - skipping. It's always been irritating when posters feel obligated UTUSN Mar 30 #28

Please see reply 18 and let me know if you think I was wrong for objecting to the content of the highplainsdem Mar 30 #31

I ignore people like that to keep track of them. pwb Mar 30 #27

Thanks. It's consolation that karma sometimes makes itself known. UTUSN Mar 30 #29

Please see reply 18. UTUSN is unhappy that people objected to his reccing an AI channel with gross illos of rape, highplainsdem Mar 30 #33

I know how you feel about AI from Music Appreciation. pwb Mar 30 #37

"but there is a moderate side where the main content is not pernicious," WhiskeyGrinder Mar 30 #32

The thread UTUSN is upset about wasn't primarily a debate about AI, either. It was about the inaccurate highplainsdem Mar 30 #39

I also pushed back on the inaccuracies ("100 vikings vs 10,000 Mongols," come on) and I think it's important to WhiskeyGrinder Mar 30 #40

If what was posted was inaccurate then post an article or video with the correct info questionseverything Mar 30 #41

He was recommending an entire channel whose video thumbnails focused on rape, torture and highplainsdem Mar 30 #42

Your post I referenced said it was about the inaccuracy of the video questionseverything Mar 30 #43

I just scrolled past thumbnails of hundreds of YouTube videos about Khan. None of them showed Khan raping highplainsdem Mar 30 #45

Honestly you keep moving the goal posts questionseverything Mar 30 #50

I'm not moving the goalposts at all. This is the same objection I made when UTUSN posted about highplainsdem Mar 30 #52

Don't respond to them LearnedHand Mar 30 #47

Thanks much. UTUSN Mar 30 #48

IGNORE IS YOUR FRIEND MY FRIEND Skittles Mar 30 #49
