Can we please, please, please have an ignore function?

@onlyonetruth and that is a fair statement. I cannot speak for the rest of the forum, but I do not personally enjoy the back and forth regardless of if it is pro Biden or Trump (in alphabetical order)

@phendrick I was going to star that but realized I might be on your list.

@phendrick @sammydog01 I am on your list, but I agree and will star it.

@sammydog01

1. I’m generally too busy to maintain any “list”.
2. You’d probably be on my list of “nicer” people (if I kept such a list).
3. I star a lot of comments from people who say something helpful, funny, or reasonable, even if I often tend to disagree with them, unless they tend to be overly stingy with their likes. I try to always appreciate cleverness, in particular.

BTW, I did buy a package of stroopwafels at HEB (8 for $3.57) and … they’re OK, maybe they will grow on me after I’ve had a few more, before the Meh ones get here. They reminded me more of slightly soggy graham crackers, than anything else I could compare them to. (I used to love gc’s, but don’t buy them much anymore.)

@onlyonetruth And, which list do you think you might be on?
jk – star away
I quite often star yours, not that I nec. agree with you, but that you seem to seriously try to offer up something with some reasoning behind it. Most of the dribble on here seems to be based on blind emotion, more than anything else.
I think our nation/society would be better off if people voted more with their heads than their hearts, and considered long-term consequences of various political outlooks. (A sentiment seemed to be shared by our founders, when they set up the senate vs the house, with their different representations and terms. They recognized the danger of a mob mentality. What would they think about current events?)

@phendrick I would like to give you an award of some sort for this comment. As I seem to be fresh out of those, would you settle for a simple thank you?

@onlyonetruth I think my whole life is about settling :>) No left over IRK items?
But, yes.

@CaptAmehrican Unfortunately I’d imagine they will just make more ID’s for themselves and come back.

@CaptAmehrican If I could just put threads on ignore, that would most likely take care of the problem for me. Because the worst offenders (as I think of them), only post in those threads.

Of course, there are those people who have to turn EVERYTHING into something political, so it would be nice so not see that any longer, as well.

Putting on time out? That would involve the mods. I’d rather be able to make my own choices who’s posts to see and who’s not to see. For some people, they enjoy watching the fights. I’m not one of them.

@PlutoIsAPlanet You’ll always be a planet to me. Fuck the deniers!

@macromeh because they keep getting bumped to the top.
