I just had to put somebody on 'Ignore'. I hate that. I got my first hate-PM. I hate that, too.

We should be able to express opposition to certain viewpoints without getting carpet-bombed with hatred. Let's leave that to the republicans, shall we?

C'mon, everybody, stay frosty...

1. You're a good guy.
You always seem to be polite and well spoken. I'm not really sure if I agree with you 100% of the time (although I very well may), but you are ALWAYS polite and worth reading.

Don't let them get you down.

People constantly berate me in here, but I don't let it get to me. I will never use ignore. Makes it more like real life that way.

:hi:

2. I agree
I censor myself on this site to avoid "getting carpet-bombed with hatred." And, no, I'm not a conservative.

3. I think that you....
are genuinely a good person. I have formed that opinion about you based on what you have written about your history, and how you react to the situations of others.

The way I think, I do not think you should ever censor yourself on a site like this.

Speak your mind Droopy...yeah...you may get carpet bombed, but you can take it. And you never know, you just may help out even one person in the process.

My opinion...for what it is worth.

9. The Dream Police they live inside of your head
Sorry you had such a rotten experience.

I got carpet bombed with hatred at about 3:30 this morning- I am in my insomnia phase again, and I posted what I thought was an innocuous thread in GD. Boy was I ever wrong about the "innocence" of my question.

11. I agree. I ventured into GD-P today and was carpet bombed with hatred
because I thought that something done in the primaries was too hateful. Go figure! Now I feel like I need a shower.

FWIW_ I probably have 60 people on "ignore" at this point. However, I think that more than half of them have been tombstoned already. I'm pretty good at identifying the trolls (who I instantly put on "ignore" because they are simply not worth a second of my time). Others are posters who have stuff like "Hobby: calling out idiots and irritating dolts" in their profiles. You can bet that if someone thinks that everyone else is a moron they are likely projecting more than a wee bit.

12. You know, I really don't get
the hate-PM thing. As much shit as I've stirred around here, I've really never gotten that point.
Okay being nasty and disagreeing with someone in a thread is one thing, but to PM someone? Thats pretty sad. Sorry you had to deal with that.:-(

13. I've managed ot resist the temptation to do that so far...
but then again, I tend to avoid the crazier parts of the site, and I've never gotten any hate-mail on here.

18. My dear Aristus!
That is too bad...

We should be above that sort of thing...

I hope you alerted on the PM...

The Admins will soon put a stop to that person!

They take that sort of thing very seriously...
