Has anyone else gotten real trigger happy on the ignore button?
With the tens of thousands of new registrants at DU, its getting harder to deal with the plants. I'm convinced that DeLay's bus has already pulled up at the dock and the teams of brownshirts are banging on the doors of our virtual community.

I'm thinking about just ignoring quickly, at the risk of making a mistake and missing out on good debate.

How are you dealing with it? (assuming you are a legit DUer)

4. Me neither
I think I'd feel like I was missing out on something if I did. I probably wouldn't really be missing anything, but it would still bother me too much.

2. I don't have an ignore list either for fear of missing something good!
Usually, I just ignore a thread all together if it's been infiltrated and it's not something I wanna fight about too! :P

3. I just don't take it that seriously
many people here are just letting off steam. When we get over the last election (I include myself in that) then we can begin again and really work toward finding a way to win.

I'm actually encouraged by yesterday's Democratic standup. I think we have a chance as long as we focus on the real and on the things we actually can accomplish.

5. I'd cleared out my ignore list before the election
But it's growing quickly again.

My stomach is bad enough without having to constantly read disingenuous propaganda from freepers in Democratic clothing. Life is too short for that shit.
