I just used ignore for the first time ever

[Heddi]

It makes the Religion group look positively....barren. Much like my diseased sinner's womb.

1. I don't get it.

[Heddi]

2. I don't either. My husband has been working a string of night shifts

[ZombieHorde]

6. Ha!

So awesome.

[RussBLib]

3. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to "share" those we have on Ignore?

I now have 4 people on Ignore, but none of the ones you put into the poll. (5 actually)

[AlbertCat]

18. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to "share" those we have on Ignore?

If you were to put just 3..... as in one, two, three.... people on ignore from that other forum, it would look like the Sahara.


And a periwig looks like this:

[Cartoonist]

19. Those two on the right in the second row

Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?

[AlbertCat]

20. Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?

They look better with a tricorn.

[beam me up scottie]

4. What do preverted sexual positions have to do with anything?

I hope you change your mind, I'll miss your epic smackdowns.

[Heddi]

23. Possibly, like next year. School is ramping up and work is, well, work

I'm starting my 3rd class this quarter on Monday, and I'm already in the process of simultaneously writing 4 different papers for 2 classes. This 3rd class will just make writing all the more...gooder. Then in January I take a very intensive research class, and lots of bullshitty paper-writing classes after that.

The bullshittery here is just too much of a distraction. It's one thing to have people, like my patients, who have an sort of "ignorance" about things (like their medical condition) because of the situations beyond their control: being 8th of 17 children born in 1922 in the deep south to parents who were illiterate sharecroppers, dropping out of school in 3rd or 6th grade to help earn money, if a male, possibly in the service (if allowed to because of desegregation) but otherwise having very limited educational experiences by virtue of being African American during Jim Crow days. These folks, now in their 80's, have little to no understanding regarding health conditions, and having dealt with subpar health care for the majority of their lives, no real preventative care until these last years of their lives. I fully understand that their understanding of the intricacies of disease process and management is beyond their comprehension. I get that, and that's why I enjoy working at a place where I have to be creative in my approach to educating patients and their family members.

But it's another thing to deal with people who are, by all accounts, affluent, white, well-educated, multi-degreed and credentialed, and currently or previously employed in high earning occupations that hold a great deal of social sway and prestige, and have these people who have probably spent more time in school than out of school, play this ridiculous game of "me no understand hard words. Me caveman. Fire bad. grrr. Church good...."

It's just offensive to people who REALLY CANNOT grasp complicated issues because of uncontrollable situations of birth, poverty, politics, lack of quality educational opportunities, and racism, to have people who CAN grasp complicated issues play fucking dumb to prove some ridiculous point.

[beam me up scottie]

25. I hope you'll still be a regular here.

who else is going to call it like it is:

[Heddi]

26. Oh i'll still be here

Just not needing so much xanax after reading

[Iggo]

29. Wow! That's beautiful.

[beam me up scottie]

31. I wish I could take credit for it.

But that's all Heddi!

[Cartoonist]

5. Oh I see, it's a game

We're supposed to guess who you are talking about.

toupee = rug
Rightward Tangent = Starboard Tack
OceanCover = cbayer

Ignoring that last one will clear things up like RAID. Two of those on the list are blocked from this group. Small wonder.

Added:
I see why you kept it in code. Even though they are blocked, they can still alert abuse. Sorry if I outed you.

[Heddi]

8. I have no idea what you're talking about

I just posted variations from my word-of-the-day app from the last few weeks. It was a departure from.my normal poling options of various side dishes or breakfast items

[Curmudgeoness]

16. Where's the pie!!!! nt

[defacto7]

9. Careful, you may have outed yourself.

It's not nice to tattle tale and there are hall monitors about.

[onager]

10. Richard Dawkins is like Jesus without the nail holes.

There, that oughta keep 'em too busy to spy on us for a while...

[defacto7]

11. hehehe

But who are the 'em you are talking about??



I see nothing.......

[onager]

15. You don't see 'em because they are crafty, well-hidden spies!

?imgmax=800

[beam me up scottie]

13. We could construct decoy Dawkins posts on various blogs!

Think of the possibilities!

[onager]

27. And when anybody asks, we will ALL say...

"I AM DAWKINS!1!"

[beam me up scottie]

28. "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"

[defacto7]

7. Hey, I dumped the whole group

a long time ago. It kind of cleared up a lot of trash without blocking the users. Some of "certain" participants comment much more civilly outside of "particular" groups. But put them in Sunday School and they don't play nice.

[Iggo]

30. When I put the Gang Of Four on ignore a few years back, that slowed it down to glacier-speed.

I still go there, but it's the same every day now.

[Rainforestgoddess]

12. My ignore list is primarily gungeon members

And members of another group with a history of being difficult / mean to those not part of their clique.

I also trashed the forums I have no interest in (sports) the gungeon, creative speculation, feminist groups... That's it I think. Seriously considering trashing religion, but the spectacle is often popcorn worthy, so I haven't.

[Curmudgeoness]

17. Aw, come on.....

The Pets group is not mean to those outside of the clique.

[Rainforestgoddess]

21. Are you kidding?

They can be rabid!

[mr blur]

14. All of them. (nt)

[onager]

22. I'm in a nautical mood...

Thank you, Ruth Wallis. And good old Dr. Demento...

http://m.

[Heddi]

24. When I think of Dr Demento I can't help but to think of

[Gore1FL]

32. I can't put anyone there on ignore.

They are so hilariously bad at trolling.

In other news,
I enjoy walking on carpeting, hardwood, and even area rugs.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

33. What about teak?

Cuz I heard that's all the rage in the lower-middle class yachting set.

[Gore1FL]

34. Now that you mention it, I believe I have walked on that material a time or two! n/t

[Manifestor_of_Light]

35. Yep, the lowerclass yachting set was outed

as an agnostic. Self-identified, that is, which I don't believe. I don't think they would have argued so vociferously with me if they were.

Me and my pointed questions.
