Until about 6 months ago I only had one poster on block - CB. he clearly was nothing more than a troll and pot-stirrer. About 6 months ago I actually unblocked that tool and just read past him (or her).

Since the election however I have found the need to just block a bunch of posters here. Debate is fine but argumentative is not constructive. As offended as I am that Facebook and others have take censorship into their own hands, it is refreshing that I can at least ignore those who can't / won't reason.

I openly ask why many of these people post here. It is clearly right leaning - some go a little far to the conspiracy stuff, but the bottom line is that the vast majority are conservative and share a common core belief. The hand full of people that think they can change our minds is frustrating - it is our core principle belief and we do not like the core values of Democrats. You are not going to change anyone's mind so why do you bother. And you all have a blanket opinion of what you seem to think "we republicans" stand for in a very rudimentary and offensive tone.

All Republicans = Racist
All Democrats = Socialist

Does anyone really believe that 100% nonsense? You would think so reading too many of the posts here.

In the last 2 months and as recently as today - I began putting some posters here on ignore. I really thought it would ruin the experience as I would be missing the other side of the argument. To my surprise it has significantly enhanced the experience. We all have our own individual level of tolerance but ignoring the following posters here has greatly enhanced my viewing pleasure:

CB4029
Redwingtom
Scorpius
Swagsurfer11
OhioPoly
U of Elvis
Dr Isaly Von Yizner
UofMemphis
MarcMensa


To the operator of the board - Thank you for allowing me to block this Bag-o-Dicks!
