yes, yes, YES! this is the other half of the argument that is most often overlooked. we support free speech here at ForumGarden. However, since visitors here are guests, and this isn't a city council meeting, the Rules of Order don't apply, and we retain the *power* to govern our little corner of cyberspace however we choose. If we trample free speech too much, visitors will vote with their, er, feet (keyboards?) and just stop coming here. freedom and power work together.

I came here from a board taken over by flamers with their self congradulating hyperbole. I come here to enjoy an interchange among adults. Unfortunatly the "ignore" option really doesn't cut it, the object of flamer's is the self gratification they feel from annoying others, they will ultimatly infuse themselves into any popular thread, they thrive on the disruption.

Me? I don't need the BS, my feet ah er keyboard are starting to itch.

If this is the future of this board, well I was looking for a home when I got here.

I dont think, from what I've read so far, that this is the future for this forum. I see exemplary patience being practiced by the mods. Hang in there D! This thing will play out to it's conclusion. Besides......theres alot of interesting things going on here, from what I've read so far!

Not sure whether this will come in, has this thread been deleted? You could always send a cheque (after you are sent a receipt). I are a bit worse the weat for drink, pls xcuse my mis-tripuing.

click on the user's name to the left. select 'view public profile'. when you're on that page, there's an option to 'add to ignore list'.

i personally don't employ the ignore function. actually, as i wrote to another user in email a short time ago, what i typically do is get fed up with someone, put then on the 'ignore' list, then five minutes later 'un-ignore' them. taking the first step of mechanically ignoring the user is usually enough to snap me to attention and bring about a modicum of spine and willpower, and thenceforth i'm able to 'ignore' the user by force of will. for that matter, the 'ignore' function just replaces each of their posts in the thread with 'post by so-and-so who is on your ignore list' which then tweaks my curiousity so i read 'em anyway!

Saint, just like LC did, you can apply to be a moderator.

This is getting ridiculous here. "You don't like LC so I don't like you" seems to be the attitude. Coming in as a new person, I would not join after reading this thread to tell you all the truth. Everyone has to agree with and like everyone? You can not like someone and be tactful without being mean.

Enough said now play nice kids!

Hehehe...no, that line (my correction of myself) was intended to be a humorous reference to ladycop's correction of some word or other earlier in the thread. Wasn't intended to be offensive...just a li'l self-deprecating humor.

Hey, I like cheap plonk. where's mine???

Definition of internet "troll" for those who are unfamiliar.

1. troll

One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

Source: Alien Entity, Sep 22, 2002 urbandictionary.com

A troll is not like the normal poster whose ideas or opinions may be found offensive. There have been many opinions expressed on this forum that I do not agree with or like. A troll is a different matter. Please note the number of times our little troll has refered to his popularity or the number of hits he has managed to get. Dead giveaway.

saintsman you don't want to rile a lady. You, if you want to be a good citizen of Dodge, should swallow your pride and admit that you were being a little too full of yourself. You don't have to put it on a thread. lc is a fine lady and a private message will do just fine.

Be the man you are claiming to be.

folks I come to the forum to relax and to be honest there is no way I'm going to read all thirteen pages of this thread but it is obvious there is a problem.

Don't know what it is don't want to'

From the time I have spent on this forum, lady cop has a vote of convedence from me

I'm not even going to spend enough time on the subject to look up how to spell convedence correctly

Urgh. Cheap plonk. Ã‚£1.9 per bottle, IIRC. Good, though. Some cheap plonk *is* good, some is only suitable for cooking or discouraging dogs. Some "Special Brew", too. Oh, and some cider, this time something's Black. Anyway, I'm al farid it's all gone, apart from some that flowed redly into my sock drawer. Have to be another time, preferably not *too* soon, maybe tomorrow.
