I just can't understand why you all would feel the need to globally block somebody. So Dartful lacks any capacity to say something funny yet says the same not-funny thing over and over for years on end in a futile attempt to finally make it work. So Chad argues every point compulsively, sometimes going so far as to abandon the position expressed in his previous post, just so he can continue arguing if you happen to agree with him. So Drew is a religious zealot with a tendency to derive his world view from extremist websites. So Howard's a pompous ass. So Dexter's raison d'etre is to hate America. So Mr. C has responds like a dos prompt to button pressing. So Fredster's arguments always consist of either wild leaps of incomprehensible logic or mind-boggling oversimplifications. So Chrirs is scared of his own shadow. So I'm a bloody narcissistic know-it-all (by the way, that's the figurative/pejorative know-it-all, not the literal kind).
So ---smurfing--- what. Some people just want to scrub their world clean and it makes no sense to me. Ya know, Drew, when you talk to your wife about something someone said on the arcade message board, do you talk about what Fredster says, or do you talk about what Dexter says? AtomSmasher, when Howard pisses you off and you post a rant back at him, think about how much more clearly and articulately you know how you feel about the issue afterward.
Part of what makes life interesting are the people who are different than us. Part of what makes life interesting are the people we don't like.
And, anyway, don't ya think it'll get kind of old when you start reading posts that make absolutely no sense because they are responding to, or building off of a previous post that you can't see because of your ignore settings?
