Can you put yourself on “ignore”, because that would be so meta. I would be kinda like Schrödinger’s cat, the observer knows he exists, but the cat himself would not! Descartes’s cat would be all _Dormio, ergo sum_. So, not a problem. ---

No. I tried it and get the message “We can’t help you ignore yourself.” Yet another vBulletin bug. ---

Seems more like a feature, with a little snark thrown in for fun. Re: the bible as a tip. Bad tip. Leave it with a monetary tip, if you must proselytize. My sympathies. ---

[Here’s the man himself](http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/16/politics/donald-trump-supporters-vicious-violent/), **Smurf** : > [@](#): > > “You people were vicious, violent, screaming, ‘Where’s the wall? We want the wall!’ Screaming, ‘Prison! Prison! Lock her up!’ I mean you are going crazy. I mean, you were nasty and mean and vicious and you wanted to win, right?” Trump said Friday. “But now, you’re mellow and you’re cool and you’re not nearly as vicious or violent, right? Because we won, right?” > > During the campaign, Trump repeatedly referred to his rallies as the “safest place on Earth” and called them a “love fest.” And you’re \*proud \*of how easily you swallow lies that appeal to your basest nature, and even applaud the liar when he tells you he lied.

For someone who felt strongly about something he sure made an ambiguous title for his thread. You can’t really disagree with it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-people-spreading-hate-and-lies-because-of-trump/774786.md?page=2)
