A simple way to weed out crap threads
Any post that contains the words "hillbot" "hillshill" "obamaniacs" "obamaton" etc, is going to be useless crap in my book.
Good for entertainment value (as in train wreck entertainment) but little else.
Hint: If you want to post info for people to actually read, it might be good not to insult a bunch of people in your OP!
Oh and DON'T POST IN A CRAP THREAD! That just makes it worse...

Disclaimer: I am an Obama supporter but I am just appalled by BOTH sides in this forum.

1. But, your thread contains "hillbot" "hillshill" "obamaniacs" "obamaton".
Now, I'm really confused...

Maybe you should rework your advice a little bit. ;)

4. It Doesn't Matter If You Ignore Those Threads Or Not...
There are some posters here that make it their life's work to kick trash threads. That was going on long brfore the "let it sink" nonsense began.
