The whole concept of
killfiling is rather useless anyway, because posts by the person(s)
killfiled
are quoted more often than not anyway.



Excellent point!

Let's see....I can killfile someone, then, using Batman-like words such as
"PLONK!", *announce* it to the world in spectacular fashion in order to
prop up my political stance or stated principles......

......but I can CONTINUE to read at least *most* of the allegedly
shunned/boycotted material quoted in the replies, while people may believe
I am actually NOT doing so in a hunger-strike-like support of my political
beliefs.....

.....which makes the whole concept of *announcing* a killfiling more than
merely political.

Killfile *announcements* can now rise to a appreciable level of
hypocracy!!!!

That's absolutely hilarious.....if you think about it!

Someone alleges to do something based on their principles, yet actually
ends up doing something hypocritical instead.

The "principled" thing to do again boils down to personal choice. Killfile
someone and keep it to yourself so as not to become a hypocrit, OR simply
do not click on subjects that offend you.

Even "I" could figure out that "OT - Kerry exposed" was NOT about John
Kerry's hobby of doing metalwork in the nude before I clicked on the
subject, and I seriously doubted that there would much - if any - metal
content......

.......yet, I clicked on it anyway, so I really have no reason to complain,
do I?
