@RiotDemon It would sure be nice. Husband has a nephew who is really nice, but one family dinner, he started going on and on about death camps (this was in the time of Obama) and it sure would have been nice to mute him before I heard any more of his craziness. Now, I have absolutely zero respect for him. If I hadn’t heard so much, I’d probably not consider him a total nutcase.
And not just “not comment” on volatile threads, but just avoid them altogether.
I do sometimes exercise my discretion not to click on various threads. However, when the title of a thread itself, posted on the front page, is provocative and incendiary, it’s basically a cheap shot at everyone with a differing view. It’s like a sucker punch, which makes those who self-righteously caterwaul that people shouldn’t click on such threads particularly petty and annoying…
I don’t. @lisaviolet is the best. And she and her husband have a small biz, and they live with all those rescue co-dwellers. And she’s super sweet and wildly creative.
Sometimes I kinda wanna /mute people who get very contentious.
Unfortunately, no. Sometimes it’s best not to comment on threads that may be volatile.

@RiotDemon I want one of those.
