Starting yesterday , anyone initiating *OR* *RESPONDING* to a
crossposted political post will be joining the current inhabitants of my
killfile . Some of you have posted good info and handy tips in the past ,
but this crap has gotten out of hand .
I don't come here to read about queers and racism , I'm here for the
metalworking content . You will be missed (some of you not much ...) but
that's the way it goes .

Thank you and have a nice day .

The Zombie nutjobs all came out of hiding when Obama got elected.

There's a more direct connection, too. Gunner started cross-posting to
misc.survivalism and occasionally to a gun group; Cliff picked it up and
made it much worse, extending it to additional NGs; Hammy (under about a
dozen pseudonyms) decided to make life miserable for RCM because Cliff had
picked up misc.survivalism from Gunner and Hammy is a prick; and now RCM
is in every nutjobs' cross-posting list because we've become part of their
larger cross-posting, mutual-provocation network.

I tried like hell to stop Cliff from doing it, in public and in private.
Now he's gone, and it's running on its own inertia. Hammy keeps it fired
up by posting dozens of right-wing news stories every week. He won't stop,
and he doesn't appear to have a better nature to appeal to.

Well, I actually have an pretty active killfile myself, but it's mostly
limited to the very worst offenders and to those who NEVER seem to post
anything that's on-topic...which basically leaves me with only a handful

--many of whom probably rightly belong in a mental institution...and who
will probably be relegated to my killfile soon enough..

And though it's wrong, still it's oftentimes difficult to resist doing a bit
of teasing when one is visiting the primate exibit....

================================================== ==============

They invite it. They love to provoke, and some of them have refined it into
an art.

Set up a kill file that delete all posts to more then 2 groups. Agent
has the capability and it gets rid of the more obnoxious posts.

Personally, I don't see any need for a killfile. After a while you get
to know who's an idiot and you just pass over anything from them. Having
a filter take out people I think have goofy ideas seems to go against
the grain of having all kinds. There's always plenty of people with
nutty ideas and that act like idiots. At this point I'm used to them. If
they are too offensive I just ignore them. I can't think of anything
easier than that.

I agree with you Hawke.

One has to sift through a lot of chaff to find a grain worth reading
but there is no other way to find that thought that someone offers
that you would never come up with yourself.

I am open to all opinions..and some I do find well worthwhile to see.
A killfile would narrow my view of the world...crazy ass conservatives
included.

FWIW...I note that you like me do not constantly change nyms...and
likely for the same reasons.

Yep, unlike the idiots around here some of us are honest. We don't horse
around with new nyms all the time. We tell the truth as we see it. We
read the views of everyone no matter how stupid because that is what
open minded people do. We actually look at both sides of the issues,
unlike them. We're not the ideological drones they like to accuse us of.
Real drones think everyone else is a drone but them.

Followers of right wing dogma don't even know that's what they are. It's
the same with their racist tendencies. They are always looking to accuse
their opponents of racism as if that somehow absolves them of theirs.
Too bad it doesn't. It doesn't even make them aware they have it. Man,
those right wingers need a lot of work with good mental health
practitioners. But they are the least likely to seek the help they
desperately need. Sad isn't it? They're so messed up but they're never
going to do anything to help themselves. But then if they did they
wouldn't be a right winger.
