People who don't want 2008 threads on DU should...

[sniffa]

1. i don't mind 2008 threads

just hiLLary in 2008 threads.

[sellitman]

13. I feel the same way you do about Mr 5 Star......

So I avoid his posts and actually have many of his zealots on Ignore. It works for me. It has made my DU experience less hostle and more enjoyable.

[smoogatz]

2. Stop being such rule-making, controlling ballbusters

and start worrying about something meaningful instead, like whether the chemtrails are particularly bad today.

[lojasmo]

3. I don't mind 2008 threads......

Just ones that are obviously partisan to a single candidate.

[cestpaspossible]

4. What I don't like is when someone goes into a thread about

threads about other threads and says he doesn't like when someone goes into a thread about threads about other threads and says he doesn't like when someone goes into threads about other threads and says he doesn't like threads about other threads.

[FrenchieCat]

6. You're threading on a thin thread.....

my Pretty!

[Eloriel]

7. You forgot:

* Hide the threads
* Put repeat offenders on Ignore
* Any/all of the above

8. Go into 2008 threads and post about food

Mmmmm who wants pie?

11. Can't argue with a good old fashioned pie fight!

In retrospect, that should have been Kerry's strategy for the third debate.

[Crunchy Frog]

10. I pretty much stay out of them.

They seem to be fairly pointless, and promote alot of divisiveness and hurling around of accusations. I have no problem with threads about potential candidates based on things that they're actually doing, but the "_____ in 2008" threads that are just blind promotion (coupled with attacks) just seem counterproductive at this point.

I don't think those threads do the potential candidate any good either. Much better is a thread that talks about what that person is doing and saying. Don't tell people that X would be a good candidate, talk about what they're doing that might demonstrate why they would make a good candidate, or even just talk about them as Democrats as part of the bigger picture of what Democrats are doing to take back the country.

I also don't like the finger waving posts, or the ones that accuse a particular group of supporters of pushing their candidate while ignoring the same behavior in other groups of supporters.

12. stop at 2007 threads, or to be safe, 2006 or 5 or 4, just in case

just in case someone else posts the 2008th thread. Or you could just hijack one of the other 2007 threads.
