Just for your information.... In case you were wondering.
Some Hillary supporters put me on ignore way back. The ones that do not have me on ignore like to point out that I am a Nazi and a sociopath no matter how innocuous I try to be in regards to Senator Clinton. I am painfully aware that if I make an observation as to Mrs. Clinton's behavior or voting record or past history, I am "bashing" her. I do not call her names nor do I try to instigate a flame war - no matter, I am made out to be some lunatic who hates the Democratic party.

I voted for Obama but do not see him as anywhere near perfect. I have yelled about his flaws and cringe when I see a major faux pas. I do not try and sanitize a situation by pretending it does not exist.

I will vote for the Democratic candidate, period. (doesn't mean I have to like it.)

BTW - Ignore is for people who have a hard time with REALITY.

And, in case you are wondering... I am neither a sociopath nor a member of the Nazi Party. But I have caught a glimpse of my id and it's a real humdinger.

In closing.... I would just ask that we all try to observe a little thing called good manners and stop calling names....

1. Ignore is for people who don't care for insults or rudeness.

2. maybe
I have put 2 people on ignore because of that very thing - so I concur. I am talking about those with long lists of people on ignore. It seems sort of pointless after a fashion.

4. Not really
I did not complain about being ignored - It is the name calling that I tire of. I guess i did not make myself very clear?

:hi:

5. Listen
a majority of people on DU who call themselves Clinton supporters are trolls and flamebaiters who have recently joined to disrupt this board. Anyone without a profile or a newbie that starts hurling shit gets immediately added to MY ignore list.

And I have quite a few long-time DUers who seem unable to control themselves on my ignore list. May save friendships in the long run?

I know who my friends are on here, and quite honestly, I don't live for DU's approval. You shouldn't either, that's all I'm saying. The level of seriousness that some people give this board is psychotic.

People would be better off hauling their anonymous asses off the computer and marching down to a campaign office of their choice and doing something positive. All I can do is send money since I live in another country.

:hug:

6. Okay....
I do my fair share of political work.

I do not live and breath for this discussion board.

My observation was made after a bad week here and I am to the point of wondering if their is any real sanity out there????

I do appreciate your advice though because I know you are correct.

:hi:

8. unfortunately there is no sanity at DU
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 04:23 AM by 48percenter
right now.

I wonder if we will ever get back to "normal."

(BTW, I was not trying to harsh towards you, sorry if it came off that way, just making a general observation for the freaks that live and breathe DU, those who think that DU is the center of the political universe.)

And thanks for your political work. Good on ya! :patriot:

9. Thats it......
I am going to go put myself on my own ignore list.

This way, if I am an Obama supporter I'll never know it and if I write something stew-pud I won't be able to hear it!

Now, would someone be so kind as to tell me where the heck I find the ignore button because I'm tired of listening to myself?

and stuff and junk and crap!

Huh?...did someone say something?...type louder I can't hear.

Yall have fun...:-)

12. Oh! get Series!
You act like you have never put yourself on your own ignore list before?

The only problum I have encountered is when I put myself on ignore I can't find the spel checker. Worse even, I can't see whut I am posting, much less hearing? If I can't hear what I can't see how can I spel check it?

I wuz just being silly, 48p.


....and junk!

13. I usually don't put the newbies and trolls on ignore
It's the long timers that make my list. About the time I find myself thinking 'Has this person LOST their mind?' that I hit that ignore button. lol
