I'm surprised everyone has forgotten about the ignore feature so easily.
You don't like someone's opinions or views put them on your ignore list.
Currently no one is being ignored by me because i like more than a one sided conversation, but trolls deserve to be ignored.
Don't worry, I haven't read any of Ziz's posts since the last one I replied to above. He's on my ignore list. The guy was hostile and aggressive to me since before I ever said anything to him and he just did it again and again. I even apologized to him once and he kept it up. So basically, he's given me no reason to think well of him or respect him or anything he says. I ended up with the impression that he's just a troublemaker. So there was no further point in reading his crap.
I wouldnt put somebody on my ignore list just for expressing opinions I don't like, but I will put somebody on my ignore list for stooping really low and being personally offensive and gratuitously aggressive one time too many and generally proving to be nothing but a troublemaker.
Me i have learned that other people may have different opinions than mine in life, i might not always like said opinions, views or ideas but i have to tolerate them because it is the American thing to do, freedom of speech and all.
That's a reasonable approach, but some people seem to think it's morally wrong for you (general "you", as in you me or whoever) to come out with a view they disagree with and feel they are morally justified in lashing out at you if you come out with such a view. There seems to be a lack of tolerance there for expression of a wide range of opinions or for differing posting approaches.

Of if they wanted to be really obvious that he was selfish, mean and egotistical, they could have called him "Vaderisnothayden Bane".
Seriously, what do comments like this really add to the discussion? You may not like VINH, or find him annoying, but it is still pretty lousy to just toss out insults like that.
Good question. I really don't see how disliking somebody on a board or disliking their opinions justifies unprovoked insults and aggression.
I don't know. I just want to get along on this board. I don't need all this hassle. So I wish people who act like that would kindly stay away from me. Or maybe put notices in their sigs saying "Troublemaker here, put on ignore list". It would save me the trouble of trying to talk to them and finding it's pointless.
