I just had the most fun with one of the nasty flamewar threads
You know, a thread in which someone posted something Kerry did and a dozen trolls/lefty freeps scrabbled in and started spitting on him? I went through and put each and every spit-spewer on ignore. Now it's quite a lovely thread. :D

(Well, not just at the moment, since we hit Level 2 or 3 again and ignore isn't working, but soon. Soon.)

1. I had fun alerting on the ones that admitted they hated Democrats and
were actively working against Democrats!

2. yeah that's my new hobby--alerting
I used to put everyone on Ignore, too. It works. Then I took everyone off to see what was happening in freep-land after six or so months.

But alerting--that is something we can do that really has some punch. And the flamebaiters get the attention from the mods that they deserve.

3. Does that really work?
I was under the impression that this sort of dem bashing went on unchecked, so I gave up on alerting.

5. A thread I alerted on today got locked, w moderator saying:
"This thread crosses the line from constructive critism
of the Democratic Party to Actively working against
the Democratic party ."

11. I like that distinction
People should not be allowed to trash Democratic leaders with abandon! It makes my blood boil. That's exactly what they are doing--actively working against the Democratic Party!

6. Yep, that's the one
I was thinking of going back through it and adding all of the supporters to my buddy list. :) (I have no buddies currently...I've never been sure what that's for.)
