I think Eats_Crayons’s method sounds like the best one.
fisha, what the hell is your problem?
It’s the same principle as Do Not Feed the Troll. Some jerks want attention even if it’s negative attention. That’s better than no attention at all. That’s why they post stupid things and why some advocate just ignoring them.
Well, ignoring this kind of thing for years doesn’t seem to have decreased it’s frequency. Instead it’s become something that should be “expected”, even a “tradition”.
Although I very much dislike such remarks, I don’t think that everyone who makes them is a troll. Some comments may be so crude or inappropriate to the discussion that the posters are obviously trolling, but in others the posters might be making what they think are classic SDMB jokes. If they’re guilty of nothing worse than a lousy sense of humor, they should be willing to stop when asked. If they won’t, then they’re trolls or jerks and should be treated as such.
Yeah, exactly – I think there’s a strong possibility that there are people who post these jokes who don’t realize that some women not only don’t find them funny, they’re actively offended by them. These people would not be trolls, but people whose social skills could benefit from being told that the jokes aren’t appreciated.
