I love the way that heā€™s flaunting that he has his fingers jammed in his ears while he screams, ā€œLALALALA I CANā€™T HEAR YOU!ā€ ---

> [@](#): > > This message is hidden because Shot From Guns is on your ignore list. šŸ˜ƒ If it makes you feel better, youā€™re in fine (if assholish) company: the only other people on my ignore list, in 10 years of the SDMB, are **Bricker** , **Rand Rover** , and **ivn1188**. Thatā€™s the kind of esteem I have for your schtick. Oh, but do keep polluting this thread. I think itā€™s hilarious. ---

Iā€™ve always just used Scope. I like the taste, and so far, it hasnā€™t turned my teeth brown (thatā€™s my own doing! :D) ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > Okay, Iā€™m crossing _that_ stuff off my list. I was thinking about using a fancy oral rinse for my chronic fight with gingivitis, but Iā€™m starting to worry about the idea now. When I tried tartar control toothpaste, it made the skin inside my mouth slough off - Iā€™m not sure any mouth rinse is for me. If you have sensitive mucus membranes, you might be right as far as the drugstore stuff goes. But [Oral Care Formula](http://www.risingstarmusic.com/laughingladybug/descriptions.html#oral) from Laughing Lady Bug Botanicals simply rocks, and is very gentle. I had a dentist tell me my gums were a fecking mess of redness and inflammation and I needed all sorts of work done. He was right, they were very red (not pink) and bled a lot. 2 weeks of Oral Care Formula and my gums were tight and light pink, no longer bleeding, and my dentist was simply blown away and said I didnā€™t need his peridontal work after all. (He also asked me, tongue in cheek, not to tell anyone about the product or heā€™d never be able to get that new fishing boat!) ---

> [@Ogre](#): > > Essentially, **Kimstu** has it right (Thanks, **K**!). There was a time when I would endlessly bicker, defending my motivations, actions, and every carefully chosen phrase in my posts. Those days are over. If someone comes at me like **Shot From Guns** did in an otherwise calm thread, Iā€™m much more likely to call an asshole an asshole, [_plonk_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plonk_%28Usenet%29) them, and move on. No discussion is warranted or deserved. I support this statement. What obligation do you have to listen to ppl who canā€™t act in a civilized manner(meaning, limit rants and namecalling to appropriate situations)? The next question may be, ā€œWho decides whatā€™s appropriate?ā€ Well, luckily, you do. šŸ˜ƒ A more liberal use of the ignore function might make for more productive discussions. You block the irrationals which helps right there, and others are encouraged to behave in a socially-acceptable manner, lest they be shut out of conversations. I think itā€™s something thatā€™s going to become increasingly popular as the years pass and itā€™s adopted in all board software. Why let someone you donā€™t even know ruin your leisure time, or your favorite internet hangout? If someone brings nothing to the table, or constantly ruins discussions with tangents, etc, you wonā€™t miss them when you donā€™t see them. BTW, the orange Listerine isnā€™t NEARLY as nasty and mediciney as the original pale yellow stuff. I usually buy the store-brand to save some money, and my mouth feels much cleaner than with Scope, for much longer. ---
