• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
  • If you are having trouble seeing the forum then you may need to clear your browser's DNS cache. Click here for instructions on how to do that
  • Please review the Forum Rules frequently as we are constantly trying to improve the forum for our members and visitors.

So it happens again

Yes, and while I was in it.

This is the second thread that has been deleted completely while I was actually reading through it. All for the same reasons.

I for one am tired of putting my time in to participate in conversations only to see them derailed completely by one person.

Is it not time to do something about this problem ?

What Do We Do?

It is but what? I usually just ignore those that do these things and when we do they can't post anything back. If we don't acknowledge them then they post to no one.

Strange thing is I have met a lot of the guys and gals that post here and even the ones that post aggressively are great in person.

there is an ignore button

I have used it but then someone copies and pastes his drivel. It isnt hard to see when he wants a post gone.

two of the wisest men i've ever known, Doug and Hubert, drilled this into me early on, and I live it:

Be Innocent of Instigation

Retreat, retreat, retreat.

If we can't demonstrate this behavior here, how can we be assumed to demonstrate it in a real dispute or threat.

I Don't Use The Ignore Feature

I know it is there but when it is used bits and pieces of the thread are lost. So I just read through them all and don't respond to anyone who attacks others.

Try it, you'll like it!

The only bits and pieces that are lost are the ones where the troll tries to suck you into its game. Perhaps the mods can turn on a feature that even eliminates ignored quotes! In any case I just don't look at 'em. Makes for a very peaceful forum experience.
