"I'm not voting for him because he has no clue about black people, coming from lily-white SD and all."

I think you're absolutely right about boycotting some of those threads.

I don't use the Ignore feature, mostly because I like to keep myself aware of my surroundings, but there's nothing to say I have to feed the trolls by actually posting on those threads.

I suggest that whenever some negative Bernie shit hits, we don't post on that thread, but instead start a new thread that just presents the positive information rather than chasing after the crap; just let that stuff sink & claim the home-field advantage by putting our stuff on top. We could maybe even post alerts here when a positive OP goes up.

But then again it's early, and this may be a totally stupid idea.
