> [@Lynn Bodoni](#): > > I’m sure that’s not the answer you’re looking for, but it’s the way we’ve done things for years, and I don’t think that anyone’s been complaining about it until this last instance. Actually, I was looking for any answer the the question besides “ban them” with an attached rationale that didn’t appeal to evangelism or atavism in relation to recent events. “This is what has worked for us” is a pretty unassailable bit of reasoning, in any event. Sorry to have used you all to get my own questions answered, but my purpose for this thread is fullfilled. Discuss whatever you like amongst yourselves. ---

> [@Queen Tonya](#): > > Ah, dear **Reeder** , you make me smile. 😃 I really don’t care what people think of me. But it irks me when people tell me they don’t want to read what I say. When all they have to do is click ignore. You wanna know the truth though? No one ignores me. ---

> [@Reeder](#): > > Well…I can’t help but notice that your two contributions to this “interesting” thread have been shots at me. > > Asshole. Did you also notice that your _five_ posts before mine all had nothing to do with the OP and were simply you bleating out “Child molesters bad! I can’t hear you! Child molesters bad!”? (Tip for the future: don’t pretend that opposing things like child molestation is a position. Everyone opposes child molestation.) And ignoring you doesn’t prevent you from hijacking threads, or change the fact that you make liberals look like idiots by association every time you post. ---

That was pretty good, **Metacom** , but you need to post like seven more times. Otherwise, the thread might not be All About You… ---
