Thread: Someone please explain to me why you would CHOOSE to log onto an internet message board and ........

Started 2 months, 2 weeks ago by Stinky The Clown
..... then try to hide the messages? I never cease to be amazed by people who wish to filter what they see on message boards they CHOOSE to frequent. Yes. I use a pop-up blocker. I pay for sites like DU so I can avoid the ads. But those are not the reason one logs on to a site like DU. One logs onto a DISCUSSION site like DU, presumably, to DISCUSS shit. ...

If you disagree with someone, say so and say why. If someone's baiting you, say "I'm not interested, suit yourself" and move on.

Not on here, but on another board. I have a few people on here I have on my ignore list, but that is because of verbal abuse and trolling, not because I have intellectual disagreements with them. I don't think I've ever hidden a thread though. If other people want to, that is their prerogative.

I'm a curious type. YMMV

They click on threads of interest to them and not on ones aren't of interest. It's just a small percentage, I think, who complain about threads or forums or whatever that don't interest them. They want their own little discussion forum, with nothing to upset their day. I ignore such folks. It works very well. I hide nothing, ignore nobody, and rarely use rec/unrec. Seems to work out just fine...

Edited on Sat Oct-17-09 09:02 PM by Xipe Totec Some of us are happy enough just ignoring what we don't want to read. But some among us go ape shit at the thought that others might be reading stuff we ourselves don't want to read. It's not enough to close one's own mind to dissonant thoughts, we must prevent others from being infected by these unsavory ideas...

Did not see that coming at all. And I've never done lime on shrimp or scampi. Never thought of it. Sounds like some sort of Mexican shrimp is in order. With rice and mango salsa.

It's like trailer park remarks and other things which really have no useful purpose in clarifying the point or the person being described, but is thrown in there ot generate a false sense of superiority. I have known people who live in trailers than can buy and sell most people here. Actually at this point, people in paid for trailers are in a better situation than a lot of other people. Sometimes people lose their teeth making sacrifices.

Personally I've never really used hide thread except by accident, but I can see where it could come in handy, as when the forum is flooded with threads about a specific topic that one isn't interested in ...
