I often wonder when I see people asking how to block posts on here , what’s the matter with simply not looking or reading them , are so many people lacking so little self discipline that they need a automatic program to do it
There are a few people who do hang around the house all day, it would seem, posting comments that we could very well live without. There is one woman who has thousands of comments under her belt, so what does THAT tell you???

I had to laugh at your post, because I had the same thought this morning and my plan was to search for the "blocking" button, later today.

Everyone here knows the folks who sit in front of their computer and post gratuitous nonsense 24 hours a day. Many of them have already commented on this thread. :BigApplause:

Sadly I think there are many people who are bored to death and live through their computers on this chat line.

It’s geriatric day care. Then there are the serial posters who post such eloquent verses such as “Very true” or “I Wonder…..”. Those are the post count cowboys. lol. Just look at each thread and it’s the same people that post the most. And usually by a wide margin.

You learn far more from people with a different view. Too many people are talking to themselves. Teasing a bit, We all do that from time to time. You LOOSE one or the other side of the argument.
I often wonder just why people get their undies in a bundle over what is posted, here and wherever. We're not interacting with people, but with words on a screen. If those words happen to contradict something that we believe (or, all too often, a certain prejudice that we are married to)...so what? ignore it or answer it. But giving in to an emotion reaction is merely legitimizing it. And why do that? Is it that important that other people need to believe precisely what you believe?

All too often people are not looking for information, but VALIDATION. And when that isn't forthcoming...well, that's when those undies start bundling up.

So far three posters who are on my ignore list have already responded to this thread, which is pretty typical on a two page thread..

Am I the only one who has blocked the poster with the same "What did they say when you called them?" answer that is given each time?

How do you know, if they're on your "ignore" ?

Nevermind, now I know it shows up as an "ignored poster". Next I'll learn how to delete a post, like I just tried to do with this one.

Actually, you can't delete a post yourself. But, you can delete all characters except three. Some people use "///" to indicate a post that they wanted to delete.
