"Let it Sink"

[NYC_SKP]

I'm going to try to abstain from replying to some of the more nonsensical threads I see for at least 24 hours.

"Let Them Sink"

Maybe if we pay no attention, they'll go away, a little.

:patriot:

[Danger Mouse]

1. Or you could click 'alert' and 'hide thread' which makes them for real go away.

:shrug:

9. Where's the fun in that?

Come ON!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Good luck with that!

Usually their numbers are so overwhelming that ignoring them does no good...


:(

3. My expectations are realistic.

I know better than to think it's going to make a huge difference.

It's more of a way of telling them to fuck off indirectly, and a chance to watch how others respond, I'm "taking a break". :P

How ya doin?

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Just as I suspected...

You ARE a clever man!

I'm fine...gearing up for my open mic read tonight!

I'm going to read "I am waiting" that I posted in GD last week, I think it was...

I think I put it in my Journal too, if you want to see it...

I hope you're doing well, too!

:hi:

5. Sorry...sometimes the stupid here...

literally CRIES OUT to be addressed. Perhaps I should work on "letting it sink" some more...you're a better DUer than I if you're successful.

6. LOL! yes, sometimes it burns.. It's NOT a coincidence, I think.

Good news day for our president = more asshat Obama hate posts.

If it's not one thing it's another.

So, today we had an awesome speech and good reason to celebrate, and the shitheads come out of the woodwork.

I don't think it's a coincidence.

7. Trust me, it's not that hard....

.... the number of replies THAT thread got yesterday was disgraceful ... and I'm talking about the folks who disagreed with her. And obviously in so doing, they only gave that thread more attention.

I almost always try to ignore those threads that *I* deem foolish or inflamatory.

Would be nice to have more people joining me. :)

8. I agree with this sentiment

Most do sink. Only the best trolls seem to stay buoyant.

We have trolls. As an experienced troll(on other forums/other subjects), I can spot them a mile away.

10. Okay

I have most of them on Ignore at this point anyhow. I don't give a shit what they have to say.

11. I am a GDP native, and I have NEVER seen this level of crazy around here

Never.

Not even in February/March/April/ 1/3 of June 08.

[BlooInBloo]

12. Pfft - the primary was WAAAAY worse.

[PBS Poll-435]

13. Worse in a good way or in a bad way?

:P

[BlooInBloo]

15. I dunno - I can't keep good & bad straight in this maelstrom.

:rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

17. If I had ignored then, I would really be missing out now

:toast:

[BlooInBloo]

18. Oh fer sher. The Seabiscuit thread alone makes up for all of the crap.

[PBS Poll-435]

19. Blowout!

:rofl:

Even a HillBot like me knew that was too crazy to touch.

[NYC_SKP]

22. I missed that thread...

I do remember the drama as Tellurian et al dropped from site and turned up at caphill, and a few great flameouts, I forget the member names.

And the Obamamessiah thread that was locked, then unlocked for a free-for-all grave dancing.

Unlocked by Skinner himself.

24. Meh

Great timeline.

Gonna puke now. (for health!)

14. Hi. I'm geek tragedy, and I'm a reply-to-stupidity-aholic.

Give me the strength to use the 'ignore thread' feature.

[NYC_SKP]

20. Ha, I noticed that.

But it's great entertainment, so knock yourself out!

You know by now we stand together in opposition to the stupid.

:toast:

[Cha]

16. I've been hiding them

to avoid replying in kind.

And, I have been consciously trying not to kick anyone's Stupid thread.

[TheBigotBasher]

21. I'm annoyed that my thread where I said I was "proud to be an obot"

and I reaffirmed why I still support the President got deleted when others that appear so stupid stay. Oh well, I do not own the place.

[NYC_SKP]

23. What, it was deleted?

It was "disappeared", "rendered to an undisclosed location"???

It was there an hour ago...

I hate when that happens. :P
