Featured Suggestion For Staff

Well, I meant Fundamentalist in the sense of IFB, which is the common definition of the capitalized word, right?

 

I think a good suggestion would be to create a special section for those who think their racial prejudice and racism shouldn't be challenged.

:thumbs:

 

Well ... since no one here, including you, thinks they're a racist, how do you propose we identify who should post in that section?

 

Well, I've seen your idea - to isolate some one-topic troll - into a subforum implemented once, and the way it turned out was that the subforum stood and the troll was banned a few weeks later.

And, no, you can't "reach" a pure troll. A troll isn't a liberal, a conservative, an atheist or a Christian by definition. It is a poster whose sole intent is to disrupt the board and annoy as many of the other people as he/she can. Banning other posters, derailing threads, causing threads to be close are some of their tells. Nothing is too outrageous or repetitive for the troll to say or do and the worst possible thing you can do is to quote the garbage the troll says.

 

Except this is the internet. This is not really the venue to carry that along.

 

By some of y'all's definitions, the lot of you would qualify as trolls in any thread I've ever commented. :thumbsup:

But for the uninformed:

Please read and head from the Posting Rules:

 

Whatever you say...

 

But you don't state a contrary opinion. You write everything of as "white privilege" and offer nothing further.

 

If it wasn't a contrary opinion, we wouldn't be discussing it now.

 

I don't see you engage in many discussions, Zaac. You're more like a never ending lecture.

 

What you don't see is me entertaining the bullying spirit of the many of ya who think you can manipulate conversations.:laugh:

And you, like the many, just don't like that I call it like I see it.

Nothing but the same old repeat of history.

 

Yeah.


I don't think you see much, either.

Have a good night.

 

Oh I will.

 

Why accomodate a troll at all? Recognizing what he is and what he's doing and getting rid of him is the only solution.

 

Precisely!! Their name shows up with their post, but there is a line that says something like " You have this poster on ignore, do you wish to take off ignore".

I have 2 on ignore, and you CAN read their post IF someone quotes it, but (psychological I know) just not reading their post in the first person, if you will, takes the raw edge off the post(s).:thumbs:

As some old ad from decades ago said, "TRY IT, YOU"LL LIKE IT."

Course there are some posts I've never read cuz no one quoted it, but hey, that's fine too.
